SOMETHING BIG is the sixth album from groundbreaking duo Mary Mary. With powerful voices that soar, harmonies that chime and empowering lyrics, the songs on SOMETHING BIG are instantly memorable. From the lively lead single Walking, to the unforgettable anthem Never Wave My Flag and title song Something Big, Mary Mary is on course to drive their indisputable reputation smack into the mainstream. Billboard Magazine s recent review of Walking stated The song s synthesizer-accented, percolating rhythms are immediately arresting, and the mix is seamlessly strung together by the engaging vocal interplay... Walking is the pair s latest track to leave the listener with a bounce in his or her step.

As songwriters, Mary Mary's honesty and passion are unmatched by most contemporary storytellers. Mary Mary's lyrics underscore an unwavering faith and belief in God to conquer the challenges that life sends our way. It is that faith that has connected with fans around the globe and secured an even wider fan base that continues to grow each day.

"In life, we all need to believe in our inner strength to endure the unexpected, to face challenges which confront us, and ultimately survive; we are living in difficult times, but there are infinite reasons to be hopeful," say Erica and Tina.

During their career, Erica and Tina have sold upwards of five million albums. In a remarkable and still ongoing story, Mary Mary's 2008 release, The Sound topped multiple charts and broke several records. A string of awards, including 2 Grammy Awards, an American Music Award, a BET Award, a Soul Train Award, and an NAACP Image Award, among others were racked up for the album.

Mary Mary have made it their life's mission to connect with people all over the world. It s not just about musical achievements, awards, charts and sales, say Mary Mary. That s not our guiding light. It s about helping people...we re committed to our message and purpose.

The Sound album released in 2008 shows Mary Mary are not ones to shy away from in-your-face declarations of faith, the girls are now more intentional than ever about whom they adore, without for a moment compromising their call to innovation and growth. The introspective 'Seattle' is a prime example, a pensive prayer that asks the Lord to descend upon the soul the same way rain falls on the Emerald City. In the vein of Mary Mary standards 'Can't Give Up Now' and 'Yesterday,' a couple of ballads on The Sound stand out for their passionate delivery: 'I Trust You' (feat. Marvin Winans) and 'I Worship You' are easily the sonic and spiritual plateaus of the album.

On this follow-up to their groundbreaking debut, Thankful, Mary Mary continue their crusade to hip a new generation to the Gospel. Their gift for making the Word accessible to the masses has something to do with their secular R&B sound (with Warryn Campbell's knack for hip-hop beats adding that radio-ready feel). But there's a great deal more to these sisters than their ability to sound like Whitney or Mary J. Erica and Tina’s phenomenally powerful voices are served and met admirably by their writing skills--resulting in some highly inspired yet street-credible material. "Give It Up Let It Go" has elements of funk (and sounds a bit like Nikka Costa's "Everybody Got Their Something"). "He Said" takes youth culture's apathetic "wherever, whatever" attitude and flips it, soaring to unexpected heights with the message that God will always be there for you, wherever you are and whatever happens. And the chorus of "In the Morning" is a particularly striking example of lyric and melody perfectly matched--the key change at phrase's end is a stroke of brilliance. Mary Mary can successfully cover Stevie and hang with Darkchild; this album is a testament to why. --Laura Etling

Seventeen years after Mary J. Blige's breakthrough LP, My Life, the wiser R&B queen is back with a sequel: My Life II...The Journey Continues (Act 1). "The first My Life, I didn't understand why I was in so much pain," says Blige. "This one adds another level of understanding." The album's critically acclaimed first single, "25/8" released on August 25th entered the R&B mainstream and urban AC charts as the #1 most added record. Mary performed the song during Good Morning America's Summerstage concert series in New York's Central Park. This highly anticipated 10th studio album includes producer notables like Danja, Jerry Wonda, Jim Johnson, Kanye West, Stargate, Swizz Beatz and The Underdogs. This album continues to display Mary's distinct and undeniably remarkable voice as well as her proven ability to deliver timeless hits.

Mary has sold over 50 million albums worldwide. Her many accolades include eight multi-platinum albums, nine Grammy® Awards (she has been nominated for 29) and four American Music Awards.

Summer of 2011, Mary contributed her song "The Living Proof," to the Touchstone Pictures summer hit The Help starring Emma Stone (Superbad, Zombieland, Easy A) and Viola Davis (Doubt, Traffic, Antwone Fisher) as the film's leading track.

The R&B, hip-hop and soul icon will star alongside Tom Cruise, Julianne Hough, Paul Giamatti, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Russell Brand and Alec Baldwin in the upcoming theatrical release of the hit Broadway musical Rock of Ages where she will play nightclub owner Justice Charlier.
