Nobody tells it like Mary. With a voice that is rough and ready,
sweet and pure, Mary J. Blige is capable of conveying heartache
and happiness in a single musical phrase. A confessional singer,
her emotional honesty reflects the great traditions of blues
and soul with a ripped-from-the-pages-of-your-diary immediacy
that has won her countless honors and a devoted, ever-growing
audience around the world. Over the course of twelve years,
five studio albums and one live collection, Mary J Blige never
fails to deliver potent R&B/hip hop mantras that work on
the head, heart and hips. More than a vocalist, she is an accomplished
recording artist known for her electrifying live performances, dramatic
videos, and innovative studio productions with a who's-who and who's-hot
of musical talents from Elton John to Eve
A quantum leap forward and a welcome return to her roots, Love &
Life, the latest CD from Mary J. Blige (scheduled for release 26/8/03)
reunites Mary and Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, the producer-performer
who crowned her the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul.
Now a seasoned songwriter
(she co-wrote 17 of the album's 18 tracks) as well as a brickhouse
vocalist, Mary co-executive produced the album with P. Diddy. They
collaborated on many of the albums' tracks including the pulsating
first single "Love @ 1st Sight," a tune inspired by her
real life romance that features Method Man, as well as "Let Me
Be The One" (featuring 50 Cent). |
