Mary J, Queen of contemporary soul, is back after her huge hit Be Without You. This is most probably one of the most amazing collaborations so far this year. She first performed the song with U2 at the 2006 Grammy Awards. The track begins to play and Bono sings, but you would never guess that Mary J would enter a few bars later, it seems totally unlikely at first but later on you realise that there could be no better suited artists to sing together on a song with the message that One brings. The two musical genres gel consistently together and I predict this will be another hit from Mary J’s hit album The Breakthrough.
