R&B queen Mary J. Blige has announced plans for her next studio album. Strength of a Woman is due out on April 28 through Matriarch/Universal.
 
The record will arrive as the singer's first since her 2014 effort The London Sessions, and she's enlisted an impressive array of guests to help out on the new tracks. The 14-song offering opens with a Kanye West-assisted cut called "Love Yourself," while "Glow Up" gets cameos from Migos rapper Quavo, DJ Khaled and Missy Elliott. Prince Charlez features on "Smile," followed by some Canadian content thanks to Kaytranada's contributions on "Telling the Truth."
 
Blige initially shared the tracklisting via Twitter, along with the message: "This is one of my most powerful albums."
