As part of his newly released tribute album, Revamp: The Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin, Mary J Blige shared her interpretation of his 70s song “Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word.”
Speaking to Billboard, Blige explained why she covered this tear-jerker from the Rocket Man’s discography. “I specifically chose to sing ‘Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word’ because of how beautiful and sad the song is and it was also so cathartic for me to sing,” she said. “Elton and Bernie’s songs, so inspiring and powerful, will continue to stand the test of time.”
