Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:28:45 GMT

In a first for both the television series and for the artist, “Private Practice” will solely and exclusively feature songs from the legendary Mary J. Blige and her upcoming album, “My Life II…The Journey Continues (Act 1),” during “Private Practice”: The Intervention, a two-hour television event airing tonight at 9|8c on the ABC Television Network. Watch the preview to hear "The Living Proof".

“I am thrilled to have my music on ‘Private Practice,’” says Blige, “…especially in these two episodes which are dealing with such important issues.”

Recorded in Los Angeles and New York with producers including Danja, Kanye West, Rodney Jerkins, Stargate and The Underdogs, “My Life II…The Journey Continues (Act 1)”continues to display Blige’s distinct and undeniably remarkable voice as well as her proven ability to deliver timeless hits. The album’s critically acclaimed first single, “25/8,” is currently available wherever music is sold online and the full album can be pre-ordered now on iTunes.

Since her 1992 debut, “What’s The 411?,” Mary J. Blige has sold over 50 million albums worldwide. Among her many accolades, she can claim 8 multi-platinum albums, 9 Grammy Awards (she has been nominated for a staggering 29) and 4 American Music Awards. Blige is the co-founder of the Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now (FFAWN), whose mission is to empower women from all walks of life to reach their full individual potential. On July 31, 2010, Mary J. Blige sold over 60 thousand bottles of her “My Life” perfume on the Home Shopping Network. Her perfume was the first to sell over 60,000 bottles in one day on HSN and $1 from each purchase was donated to FFAWN.
