The songwriter and actress also revealed that she’s already working on album number 15 and collaborating with rapper and record producer Dr. Dre, 57.
‘We discussed it during Super Bowl press and it’s something I always wanted to do, and he said he always wanted to do this. We found ourselves discovering music after the Super Bowl together, and what we want to do, and we’re all over it. It’s happening,’ she shared.
Dr. Dre also chose Family Affair and No More Drama as two songs from Mary’s catalog that he wanted featured during the halftime show.
‘When he told me what he chose I was like “Absolutely” because I mean I would have chosen No More Drama because of the climate, you know, just where we are in the world and how everybody’s feeling, you know, with COVID and masks and all that,’ she said.
