With over $15 million in gross product sales since their smash debut single ``Shackles'' from the Thankful album, Mary Mary's fans are impatiently waiting for the new album. As described on Sony BMG's Mary Mary Web site: ``Fans who have been eagerly waiting for new music from the pair are going to be blown away by Mary Mary's third album, which is packed with highlights, including the groove-driven 'Heaven,' with its upbeat positive message. Erica says of the song, 'We were sitting in the studio working on something else trying to make a hit and after three days, it wasn't coming together. And then 'Heaven' just came.
