Mary J looks Fresh on the cover of Ebony. During the interview she spoke of the passing of Amy Winehouse.

“When I got the text about Amy, I was lying down on the bed,’’ says Blige. “I got up and read the message about her death and just lay back down again. I kept getting up and laying back down for some reason. I’d always wanted to work with Amy, so I just couldn’t believe it really. And then it hit me that could have been me. That really could have been me!”

Mary will release her latest album My Life II: The Journey Continues this November.
