Mary

September 22, 2008

After a three-year break from studio releases, the queen of hip-hop soul returns with her fourth. From the Fulfillingness’ First Finale-style groove of the opening “All That I Can Say” to the replayed “Bennie and the Jets” sample on “Deep Inside,” these tracks are perfect matches for Blige’s update of classic R&B values. –Rickey Wright
Customer Review: Average At Best
I know I’m probably gonna get blasted for saying this but I just don’t get all the hype about Mary J. Blige. I’m sorry, but being “street” and “ghetto-fabulous” don’t equal talent. Her vocal range is limited and on the majority of her songs she sings in one pitch. I put her in the category of a talk-singer. She’s not really singing in the true sense of the word. I don’t think her voice is horrible but its definitely not great either. I think people like her more for her lyrical content than her actual talent. She’s very relateable if you’re into that kind of stuff and I have nothing against Miss Blige as a person. I get the feeling she’s a wonderful human being. I bought her debut album - 411, which to be fair to Miss Blige was a descent album. But since then I haven’t heard anything to make me wanna rush out and buy any of her material. Sorry folks, we’re just gonna have to agree to disagree on her. Mary J Blige is a wonderful person but an average singer.
Customer Review: oh mary mary mary!
Simply one word a “CLASSIC”. My favorite album of all time. Any woman who has been in love and has lost it can relate to this album. Buy from here…
