Just Fine

I'm a big fan of Mary J. Blige's music and I've always felt her sad songs were better than the happier ones. It just works that way with some artists. You know what they say, pain makes great art. However, I'm really loving "Just Fine," the first release from her upcoming album, Growing Pains. It's so positive, hopeful, and upbeat. I may be feeling down but as soon as this song comes on I seriously feel ten times better, if only for a little while.

You can listen to the track here or check out a video about the song below, which will probably vanish by tomorrow. But no worries, the official vid debuts tomorrow 10/25/07. Enjoy!
