Blige, has returned with her second solo offering of 2026, a mid-tempo anthem titled \u201cWant Love.\u201d Released today via Beautiful Life Productions, the track serves as a definitive statement on the singer\u2019s current emotional landscape, arriving just weeks before she is set to make history with her first-ever Las Vegas residency.<\/p>\n<p>Produced by longtime collaborator DJ Camper, \u201cWant Love\u201d marks a stylistic shift from Blige\u2019s February release, \u201cMore Than A Lover.\u201d While her previous single leaned into traditional piano-driven R&amp;B, \u201cWant Love\u201d utilizes a more minimal, atmospheric production featuring warm synth chords and steady, programmed percussion.<\/p>\n<p>True to her three-decade legacy of transparency, Blige uses \u201cWant Love\u201d to outline her non-negotiables in a partner. The lyrics emphasize a woman who is unwilling to settle, with a chorus that acts as a direct mandate:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want somebody who makes me feel like everything \/ I want want love, want love, want love \/ I don\u2019t want nobody that won\u2019t fight for me \/ I want want love, want love, want love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The song is accompanied by a sleek, performance-led music video directed by Nico Scandiffio. Shot on the rooftop of 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, the visual features Blige performing against the New York City skyline\u2014a nod to her roots and a visual sequel to the aesthetic established in her previous video earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>The release of \u201cWant Love\u201d provides a significant momentum boost as Blige prepares for her residency debut at Dolby Live at Park MGM on May 1. Titled \u201cMy Life, My Story,\u201d the 10-show engagement is designed to be an immersive journey through her storied career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been so excited to announce this Vegas residency. Creating a show like this has been something I\u2019ve always wanted to do,\u201d Blige shared in a recent statement. \u201cIt\u2019s a chance to get my fans together\u2026 to experience something together. My Life, My Story will be just that\u2014with some surprises for my fans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While 2024\u2019s Gratitude was rumored to be Blige\u2019s final studio album, her 2026 output suggests a renewed creative era. In addition to her new music and upcoming world tour, her presence in film continues to grow:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe Happy\u201d: Her latest Lifetime original film premiered on February 7, starring Tisha Campbell and Mekhi Phifer.<\/p>\n<p>Preservation of R&amp;B: Her ongoing work with DJ Camper (who produced \u201cThick of It\u201d and \u201cLove Yourself\u201d) continues to solidify her position as a contemporary force in the genre.\u201dWant Love\u201d is available now on all major streaming platforms. Fans can find information regarding the Las Vegas residency and the upcoming 2026 world tour through official ticketing outlets.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/youknowigotsoul.com\/mary-j-blige-releases-new-single-want-love-produced-by-dj-camper\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u201cQueen of Hip-Hop Soul,\u201d Mary J.
