R&B star Mary J. Blige was in Chiswick this week to preview her new album and single to record label bosses.

The diva flew into London on a private jet to meet with Polydor executives and play them her new tracks in their Chiswick studio.

Mary J Blige, who shares the Polydor label with Gwen Stefani, Scissor Sisters, Kaiser Chefs and James Morrison amongst others, is said to have brought a personal trainer and chef despite being in town for one night.

The first single from her seventh studio album will be titled Just Fine and is likely to be out at the beginning of 2008. The album ‘Growing Pains’ will be released around the same time.
