Cut: "Lullabies" (Yuna)

I don't know about you, but earlier this year was tuned into the season premiere of Being Mary Jane and as I continue to say after each episode, the music supervisor for this show deserves some serious acknowledgment and awards because the music selection is beyond amazing; mixing both well known hits, classics and obscure gems, the music for Being Mary Jane is a delicious mix every single week.

With that said, during one of the pivotal scenes in the show this week, Yuna's cut "Lullabies," which is lifted from her self-titled debut international album Yuna came on and really set the mood and I am sure had viewers (this one included) in their feelings.

Therefore, get acquainted with this cut from Yuna below and Enjoy!
