My Life (Deluxe / Commentary Edition)
“Mary J. Blige's "What's the 411?" is an incredible debut, but "My Life" is just incredible to me. Queen Mary's sophomore effort might be considered her most personal and vulnerable album in her entire discography. If I recall correctly, this was released right after her highly-publicized relationship with Jodeci's K-Ci Hailey tumultuously ended. Naturally, she was going through the scrutiny that came with that, along with being a rising public figure at the time. Mary delivered her soul and heart into this about how she's navigating through mental health issues, heartbreak, and hoping to be happy one day by overcoming everything. The songwriting definitely reflects as such, but is presented in a way with Mary's vocals that adds a lot of authenticity. With production executively handled by... *sighs* Puff Daddy, it perfectly represents every emotion Mary was going through around this time. Unlike "What's the 411?" that was more upbeat hip-hop blended with R&B adjacent with new jack swing, the sound on here retains the hip-hop element while incorporating more soulful quiet storm elements to it. The title track, "Be with You", and "I'm Goin' Down" are just a few that I feel most vividly allows the listener to see/feel how Mary was feeling. Taking out "Be Happy" (because that's a bonafide classic), it's hard to really pick a favorite track on here, due to all of them being infectious for me. Hell, even the deluxe edition anniversary tracks are a welcoming addition to the album, as it gave certain songs some different perspectives due to being remixes originally available on B-sides. Mary J. Blige wanted us to know what was happening in her life circa 1994, and speaking for myself, every word she vocalizes make me listen what she wants to express without hesitation.”
