Grammy award winning and Academy award nominated artist, actress and producer Mary J. Blige dropped a new remix featuring another Grammy award winning artist, H.E.R., for her celebrated title track off her new studio album, GOOD MORNING GORGEOUS, in which H.E.R co-wrote and co-produced the titular track.
Since its release, “Good Morning Gorgeous” has continued to climb the radio charts, peaking at #1 for its 5th week on R&B. The album was released in February just before her historic performance at the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show. (Be sure to check out our coverage for the original with Cynthia Gross here)
I wake up еvery morning and tell myself
Good morning, gorgeous
Sometimes you gotta look in the mirror and say
Good morning, gorgeous
No one else could make me feel this way, yeah
This empowering song serves as a wake-up anthem perfect for setting it as your alarm or to listen to while getting ready for the day. On a personal note, as a young autistic woman working in the music industry, it can be difficult to feel gorgeous. This very chill and smooth anthem is about creating your own happiness. Only you can control your happiness, not anybody else.
“Good Morning Gorgeous” has been used by fans on TikTok to express and promote self-love, self-empowerment, and self-care. A compilation of select videos can be viewed here.
Not only can you listen to the song, but you can shop the boutique section for some accessories, pillows, journals, and even stickers to put on your mirror to be one of the first things you see as you look at your beautiful self here.
