Last November, Mary J. Blige and British singer-songwriter Sam Roman collaborated on “Overthinking,” a duet for his album following his contributions for her 2014 London Sessions. Now, following the release of his third EP Silence, Roman has released the full track, a slow burning-wavy duet about the complexities of a relationship.
On the song, Roman believes the problems stem from thinking too much, while Blige denies that’s the case. “There ain’t no use in overthinking love / The minute that you do it’s over,” sings Romans, while Blige blames him. “It’s not love when you only see things your way,” she sings on her verse.
About their collab, Sam said, “It was the one track that could exist in its current form, but there’s something we could do to it that could be really clever, a reason to do a duet, and that’s’ to change the narrative,” Sam explained. “It was great to get someone else’s perspective, said about Mary writing her verse.
