Mary J. Blige has announced a 23-city tour in support of her 14th studio album Good Morning Gorgeous . The veteran musician will be joined on select dates by “Boo’d Up” singer Ella Mai and rising R&B artist Queen Naija.

The Good Morning Gorgeous tour is scheduled to begin on Sept. 17 with a show at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina. Blige will make stops in Charlotte, Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta, Oakland, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Memphis, Brooklyn, Newark, Cincinnati, and more before wrapping at Atlantic City, New Jersey’s Boardwalk Hall on Oct. 29.

General sale for the tour begins on June 17 at 10 a.m. local time via Black Promoters Collective , the coalition partnering with Blige to present cultural experiences backed by black businesses.

“Mary J. Blige has been one of a select handful of artists at the top of our desired list to partner with since the initial construction of The BPC,” BPC co-founder and president Shelby Joyne shared in a statement. “Having her support in our mission so early in the process is a testament to the hard work we have put in to bring superior cultural experiences powered by black business to the masses. We firmly believe this is a match made in heaven and are honored to partner with the Queen.”

The Good Morning Gorgeous tour marks Blige’s first solo headlining trek since 2017’s Strength of a Woman tour. In 2019, she teamed up with Nas for a joint tour billed as The Royalty Tour.

About Mary J. Blige

Iconic Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, Oscar-nominated actress, producer, and philanthropist Mary J. Blige is a figure of inspiration, transformation, and empowerment, making her one of the defining voices of the contemporary music era. With a track record of eight multi-platinum albums, nine Grammy Awards (plus a staggering 32 nominations), two Academy Award nominations, two Golden Globe nominations, and a SAG nomination, among many other accolades, Blige has cemented herself as a global superstar. Influenced at an early age by the music of Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, and Gladys Knight, Blige brought her own gritty, urban-rooted style—fusing hip-hop, soul, and honest, frank lyrics—to the forefront on her 1992 debut album  What’s the 411?  The multi-platinum set, executive produced by Sean “Diddy” Combs, quickly spun off several hits, including two No. R&B No. 1s:  You Remind Me  and  Real Love . Blige helped redefine R&B and began forging a unique niche for herself on the more personal second album, 1994’s  My Life . She is loved for her passionate, chart-topping hits like “Be Without You,” “No More Drama,” and “Family Affair,” all of which have made her a force in music. Over her career, Blige has released 15 studio albums (most recently  Good Morning Gorgeous ) and has starred in films and television programs such as  Mudbound, The Umbrella Academy, Power Book II: Ghost, Respect,  and has recently released her own documentary,  Mary J. Blige's My Life . This past February, she performed at the Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA, alongside Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, and Kendrick Lamar. Blige has her own production company, Blue Butterfly, and recently launched her own festival, “Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit,” with Pepsi and in partnership with Live Nation Urban.

About Ella Mai

In 2018, Ella Mai’s first single, “Boo’d Up,” broke the record for the most weeks at No. 1 of any song by a woman on the “R&B/Hip Hop Billboard Airplay” chart. Her follow-up single “Trip” peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard “Hot 100,” and her album,  Ella Mai , has almost 6 billion streams and is RIAA Certified Platinum. In addition to her chart-topping domination and success, Ella Mai has won a number of awards, including her first GRAMMY for Best R&B Song, 3 Billboard Music Awards, including the coveted Top R&B Artist, 3 iHeartRadio awards including R&B Artist of the Year, 3 Soul Train Awards, and a BET Viewers Choice Award. After two years of touring the world, Ella released her new single, “Not Another Love Song,” off her forthcoming album. In her own words, the new single “is about falling in love but not wanting to admit it, so it's quite vulnerable but still has an edge to it.” If the adage is true and history always repeats itself, get ready for Ella Mai to dominate the music and cultural zeitgeist once again.

About Queen Naija

Singer/Songwriter Queen Naija has cemented her status as one of R&B’s most compelling young stars. Hailed as “the first soul star of the social media generation” by The New York Times, the 25-year-old Detroit native has amassed over three billion combined global streams to date. Queen struck out on her own with her breakthrough single “Medicine,” which debuted at No. 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 (a nearly-unheard-of achievement for an unsigned artist) and quickly landed her a deal with Capitol Records. Her 2018 critically acclaimed self-titled EP debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart and earned major recognition in the 2019 awards season, including nominations for Top R&B Artist at the Billboard Music Awards and Best New Artist at the BET Awards, in addition to three nods at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. In October 2020, she released  missunderstood,  a five-song project featuring three platinum-certified singles: “Butterflies,” “Karma,” and “Medicine.” This project proved to be another smash success for Queen, debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart and cracking the top 10 on the Billboard 200.

Inside Mary J. Blige's Good Morning Gorgeous Tour

Mary J. Blige is reminding the nation exactly why she’s heralded as the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul this fall, hitting stages across the country with her Good Morning Gorgeous tour .

Presented by Hologic in partnership with The Black Promoters Collective, the tour boasts support from R&B crooner Queen Naija and multi-platinum recording artist Ella Mai. ESSENCE was in the building for the kickoff of the 23-city tour on Saturday, September 17 in Greensboro, NC, and bore witness to the magic that happens when R&B queens link up.

Launching to a sold-out crowd of 22,000 at North Carolina’s Greensboro Coliseum, the tour saw Queen Naija taking the stage promplty at its 8pm start time, rocking the crowd with a short, yet impactful set, including her hits “Medicine” and “Pack Lite.”

After a brief intermission, fans were wowed as Ella Mai took to the stage in an all-black bike short one piece and matching oversized black blazer complemented by patent leather boots. She belted out hits like “Not Another Love Song,” “Trip,” and of course, her Billboard chart-topping smash “Boo’d Up” which she credited on stage with “changing her life forever.” The full stadium rose to its feet and swaying camera lights back and forth as Ella Mai’s belted the familiar tune and beckoned them to join in.

The excitement and anticipation of the crowd was palpable as the crew turned the stage over after Ella Mai’s final bow of the evening. Then, the house lights dimmed and the crowd exploded into cheers, anxiously awaiting the Queen’s arrival.

Rocking feathered Jennifer Le over-the-knee boots, black hot pants and a bedazzled boning bustier, Blige finally took the stage in an explosion of pyrotechnics, opening the show with her track “Amazing,” featuring DJ Khaled , followed by “On Top” featuring Fivio Foreign, both from her newest album, and tour namesake, Good Morning Gorgeous .

Show opener Ella Mai could be spotted front row jamming along to classic Mary J., as the songstress soon transitioned into standard classics that turned the crowd raucous. Blige barely had to sing a note, turning the mic to her excited fans as they belted out lyrics to hits line “Real Love,” “Love No Limit” and “Be Happy.”

With a quick costume change, Blige returned to the stage with the more subdued balladry portion of her set, belting out tunes like “ Good Morning Gorgeous ” and “Love Without The Heartbreak” from an ornate chaise while smoke billowed around her.

The show continued suit with two more costume and set changes, as fans danced, sang, and even shed a few tears while the songstress performed her hits both old and new, concluding in a celebratory rainshower of sparks and confetti.

The Good Morning Gorgeous Tour continues in Charlotte, North Carolina on September 21, concluding in Atlantic City, New Jersey on October 29. Find out when Mary J. Blige is performing in a city near you and purchase tickets HERE .

Shortly after, Blige then strutted on stage wearing a fur coat, sunglasses, her iconic high boots, a sparkly beaded corset, and her famous blonde hair look. Her entrance was sure to ignite the night of singing and dancing.

“Having her support in our mission so early in the process is a testament to the hard work we have put in to bring superior cultural experiences powered by Black business to the masses. We firmly believe this is a match made in heaven and are honored to partner with the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul.”

In the same statement, Hologic chairman, president and CEO Steve MacMillan added, “We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Mary J. Blige as the presenting sponsor for her Good Morning Gorgeous tour. As a global leader in women’s health, we’re committed to emphasizing the lifesaving importance of preventive screenings and the annual Well Woman exam. Mary’s voice is a powerful way to reach millions of women.”

The tour announcement follows in the wake of Blige’s first annual Strength of a Woman festival in May.

The tour — Blige’s first since the pandemic — is named after her latest album. Released earlier this year during the ramp-up to Blige’s heralded Super Bowl halftime performance, the project scored a No. 1 Billboard Adult R&B No. 1 with its title track.

Tour tickets go on presale today (June 15) for The American Express card members beginning at 10 a.m. local time through June 16 at 10 p.m. local time. Tickets will be available to the general public on June 17 at 10 a.m. local time. For more information, visit blackpromoterscollective.com.

Mary J. Blige Brings Big Queen Energy to Spectrum Center: Concert Review

The queen of hip-hop soul, along with ella mai and queen naija, performed in charlotte as part of the "good morning gorgeous tour.".

M ary J. Blige, Ella Mai and Queen Naija make all-too-relatable songs. They go through similar joy and pain tied to love, selflessly extending deep levels of vulnerability that resonate with their devoted audiences.

That simple formula may be why the reigning Queen of Hip-Hop Soul invited the new R&B divas to join her Good Morning Gorgeous Tour , presented by Hologic and powered by Black Promoters Collective . (The latter company, composed of six national independent concert promotion and event production companies, recently succeeded with Maxwell’s NIGHT Tour and New Edition’s The Culture Tour .)

Two successful East Coast stops later, the nationwide trek set up shop on Wednesday (Sept. 21) at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.

After exiting the LYNX Blue Line light rail at the CTC/Arena Station, hundreds of fans are spotted, dressed in their best, lined up at multiple entrances in the humid 85-degree weather.

With lines moving swiftly, I make it into the venue and to my seat within the Lounge North section in under 15 minutes.

There, I see an updated Hologic infomercial featuring a radiant Blige speaking to women, particularly Black woman, about the importance of health screenings for breast cancer. It wouldn’t be the only time it ran that night, reaching a new wave of concertgoers that filled in until her set.

            View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by DJ Skillz (@skillzthedj)

As early supporters take their seats, DJ Skillz , the self-proclaimed curator of dope vibes, hypes them up with a nice mix of R&B joints, including Adina Howard’s “Freak Like Me,” Usher’s “Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home),” and T-Pain’s B.o.B.-assisted “Up Down (Do This All Day),” to name a few.

Power 98 WPEG’s Vonyetta joined DJ Skillz in the booth. She takes the mic and reps for the ladies, adding Keyshia Cole’s “Let It Go,” featuring Missy Elliott and Lil’ Kim to the playlist.

But before the impact of Cole’s classic could see its enduring effect on audiences, it’s cut short as the lights dim at 8:02 p.m. for Queen Naija.

Before the R&B sensation hailing from Ypsilanti, Michigan, sings a single note, the beginning of JAY-Z’s “Song Cry” peeks through the on-stage speakers.

Styled in a black latex cutout bodysuit, Naija arrives on stage to the sound of the audience cheering with “ Hate Our Love, ” her current single that features Big Sean.

Her call-and-response requests for the hook of her fourth No. 1 R&B hit were accepted without delay, as her four female dancers bring the moves.

“Y’all ever tell a n***a to go pack lite?” Naija asks the onlookers before performing the Erykah Badu-inspired “Pack Lite ” from her 2020 debut album Missunderstood .

Naija transitions to “What’s My Name,” the Fivio Foreign-led track, on which she appears alongside Coi Leray. The R&B starlet is clearly having a blast on stage, even gyrating her hips.

Going behind the mic-stand for the first of the set, she gives the nod to “One Time,” lifted from her 2018 self-titled EP .

Following “ Butterflies, Pt. 2 ,” which she declares her “favorite song,” Naija dives back into her self-titled project, singing a pair of deeply personal songs, including “ Karma ” and “ Medicine .” The latter marks her most heartrending vocal performance that evening.

For the finale, she revisits her Missunderstood LP for “ Lie To Me ,” rapping Lil Durk’s verse with gusto.

DJ Skillz and Vonyetta return behind the ones and twos, celebrating female-ruled jams by Beyoncé (“Get Me Bodied”), Eve (“Tambourine”) and Sunshine Anderson (“Heard It All Before”).

Watching the dedicated reaction of women from all corners of the arena to the latter 2001 classic proves that R&B will always be part of the culture.

Up next is Grammy winner Ella Mai . As a flood of phone torches get raised for her arrival, studio footage of Mai and Blige appears.

Mai guides her idol on the direction to take for the outros of songs from Heart On My Sleeve , her sophomore album.

After this, Mai walks onto a stair platform, wearing an oversized lavender jacket and matching-colored one-leg catsuit. Wasting no time, she opens with the glossy “ Not Another Love Song .”

Welcoming and introducing herself to the fans who piled into the Spectrum Center, Mai set sights on a trio of songs from her latest album , released in May.

Between the sexiness she flaunts during “ Feel Like ” and the tranquility for “Break My Heart,” it is undeniable that she had her mic on.

“Five years ago, I released a single that changed my life,” Mai says after the fourth song, “ Leave You Alone .” That tease prefaces “Boo’d  Up ,” her breakthrough 2018 single. Again, she has the majority of concertgoers out of their seats, singing all the words.

Another crowd pleaser is “Trip,” a big hitter from her self-titled debut. Here, she and her background singers lightly sprinkle in some choreography, patting themselves on the shoulders when she let out, “My bad, my bad for trippin’ on you.”

Before Mai closes her set with “ DFMU ,” a No. 1 single from the new album, she affirms that “R&B is very, very much alive.”

DJ Skillz posts up again at his station, spinning more R&B oldies in anticipation of the tour’s matriarch. Tevin Campbell’s endearing love song “Can We Talk” garners the healthiest crowd participation.

Approximately 20 minutes later, the lights lower.

Before Blige enters the stage, a prerecorded clip of her appears on the jumbo screen. She is seated in a makeup artist’s chair, getting glam to take the stage.

Defining moments that chronicle the past and present of her illustrious career intercut the well-produced film.

It’s not long before fire theatrics and the thundering horn blasts from the DJ Khaled collaboration “ Amazing ” swell the arena.

Blige makes quite an entrance to the stage, or throne,  wearing a hot pink corset and matching shorts and boots.

As the flames on stage bake faces of those close, an almighty Blige struts with confidence, in particular on the song’s second verse, “My crib is so big, I tell the guests to use a map / He wanna play house, I ask him, ‘Where’s the fun in that?'”

She keeps the energy high with the militant “ On Top, ” asserting her dominance as one of music’s most consistent R&B icons. Her tightly-choreographed male dancers make her look even more fierce.

Blige knows her audience and moves away from her newer material to lean into her more recognizable hits.

“How many of y’all want to see the Mary J. Blige dance,” she asks the question before she goes into “ Love No Limit (Remix) .” She adds, “Y’all know how I do. I keep it real ghetto,” ahead of doing her iconic Mary bop.

Refueling her soulful voice with water after “Mary Jane (All Night Long),” she returns to the Good Morning Gorgeous album cycle, performing “ Rent Money .” Her signature dance moves don’t just make an appearance here, but also some twerking that boasts her homegrown wagon.

At 51, Blige’s live stamina couldn’t have been better exhibited than the onset of the “Reminisce (Remix),” where she does a high jumping kick.

Again, Blige is reliant on the timelessness of her discography, ending midway through to change into her second of four costumes.

For the second half, the core of the retrospective setlist is devoted to heartfelt confessions, primarily for and about women. It also is dedicated to her Good Morning Gorgeous album.

Blige, dressed in a black satin outfit decorated in silver trimming, comes up from the stage on a gold divan couch. She digs deep on the self-admiration anthem from her latest record, which she co-wrote with H.E.R. and Luck Daye.

I said I wasn’t gonna cry, but I’m crying for joy. – Mary J. Blige

Blige shades in more blue hues with “ Love Without the Heartbreak ” and “Mary’s  Joint .” Not enough people seem to know songs like “ Failing in Love ,” but it doesn’t discourage her from putting on a deeply satisfying performance.

But what does unite Blige with the crowd is the dramatic rendition of “ Not Gon Cry. ” She lets loose, embodying some gospel vocal tricks that eventually bring her to tears. But her weeping didn’t flow from tearful heartache.

“I said I wasn’t gonna cry, but I’m crying for joy. I’m crying ’cause I’m free. I’m crying ’cause it’s over,” she says before letting out a scream.

From “ Everything ” to “ Share My World ,” Blige is seen performing those fan favorites behind a curtain screen that projects beatific images.

She ends this portion of the show with a scorching delivery of “ My Life ,” leaving the stage to change and giving the floor to her guitarist to let loose for a solo.

Blige returns for the fourth and final round, the most empowering. Posing boldly amid multi-colored lights, Blige goes into “ Work That ,” a self-loving tune that saw a resurgence from Vice President Kamala Harris in 2021.

But, for “ The One ,” Blige isn’t finished shaking her rump. She does so during chorus two of the Drake-assisted track, blending Mr. Cheeks’ “ Lights, Camera, Action! ” into the autotune production.

What better way to end the concert than with The Breakthrough’s  “MJB Da MVP.” A rain of pyrotechnics erupts in the background. At the same time, confetti cannon explodes into the thousands of supporters cheering and singing along with the Oscar-nominated singer and actress.

It’s worth noting that Blige did pay homage to her once-forgotten Love & Life album. And even though she did perform concert staple “ No More Drama ,” her most-prized reenactments of the show-stopper were documented in a video package.

More unexpectedly, Blige gives an impassioned vocal tribute to “ Beautiful Ones ” from the Mary album and shows love for idol Anita Baker’s “Caught Up in a Rapture” during the third section of the set.

In a year that’s included an Emmy-winning Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, a new album and TIME influential people feature, Blige assembled two of her R&B offspring, Ella Mai and Queen Naija, to set a new bar for an all-women tour. Bravo.

Incubus show philly a beautiful ‘morning view’ [photos + setlist].

Incubus have reimagined their landmark 2001 album Morning View. They reworked all thirteen tracks to create Morning View XXIII , recorded in 2023 and released earlier this year.

The band explained their decision to re-record the album in an Instagram post , stating “there was a creative challenge here in the attempt to reimagine something we made so long ago that became a soundtrack of sorts to our own experiences but as well tothe lives of so many people who allowed this album to penetrate beyond mere casual listenings.”

Challenged accepted – and fast forward to the summer of ’24, when Incubus took the album on the road for an celebration tour (hard to call it an anniversary tour, since it doesn’t land in a milestone year). At the Wells Fargo Center, their performances stayed true to the original songs, but one major difference was the absence of Ben Kenney, who stepped away from the band last year. Nicole Row is now on bass, and her voice and enthusiasm were a perfect compliment to the rest of the group.

After running through all of Morning View live, Incubus treated us to hits and fan favorites, with a handful of covers spiked in. Keep scrolling for the full setlist.

Coheed and Cambria are opening this run of shows, and WMMR’s Ryan Shuttleworth caught up with Claudio Sanchez backstage. They covered family, music, comic books and more, and you can listen to that conversation here .
