Blige<\/strong>, covering her catalog compositions and recordings. Blige, known as the &#8220;Queen of Hip-Hop Soul,&#8221; will work with the independent publisher on her catalog going forward.<\/p>\n<h2>What the partnership covers<\/h2>\n<p>Blige and her team will have access to Primary Wave&#8217;s marketing and publishing infrastructure. The arrangement also allows for close collaboration on new music marketing, branding, digital and sync (synchronization licensing) opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>The deal includes several of her best-known songs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;Family Affair&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;My Life&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Mary Jane (All Night Long)&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;You Bring Me Joy&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Be Happy&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Be Without You&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;I Can Love You&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other songs from her career are also part of the agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Natalia Nastaskin, Primary Wave&#8217;s Chief Content Officer, said: &#8220;From the moment I heard &#8216;You Remind Me&#8217; on NY&#8217;s KISS-FM, I became a day-one Mary J. Blige fan. For over 30 years, she has gifted the world with hit after undeniable hit and in the process has created the soundtrack of our lives. To partner with the Queen herself on her extraordinary catalog and her everlasting legacy is an honor for me and for our entire Primary Wave team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Blige&#8217;s career by the numbers<\/h2>\n<p>Blige has sold well over <strong>50 million records<\/strong> worldwide.
