Two of the biggest voices in music, Mary J. Blige and Beyoncé,
join forces on their new duet “Love a Woman.” The producer-songwriter behind
the superstar collaboration, Sean
Garrett, spoke about how the “iconic” track came together.
Garrett, who has
penned hits for both women in the past, revealed that the song was
originally written for Beyoncé. “I initially did the record for
Beyoncé and then we just felt it would be an even bigger record with Beyoncé and Mary J. Blige,” he
explained. “Both these women are two iconic female figures in the world, and
what would be better than putting those two on a record? We felt it would be a really
iconic move.”
“Woman,” which appears on Blige’s 10th
album My Life II… The Journey Continues (Act I), will take
listeners back. “We did a throwback ’90s type of feel with the track,” said
Garrett. “We wanted to give people who grew up with Mary and Beyoncé that real
feel that they could reminisce on.”
The R&B divas showcase their
powerful pipes on the R&B-drenched record.
“The vocals on it are impeccable,” added the
hitmaker. “Both Mary and Beyoncé did an incredible job vocally. It just
epitomizes the soulfulness, the integrity of real women, and it couldn’t come
at a more climactic time.”
While it’s unknown if an accompanying video will
be shot, Garrett has high hopes. “I wouldn’t bet against it.”
