![]() If you disagree, then gird your loins and meet me in the comments section. All of which makes My Life one of the greatest R&B albums ever. ![]() Meanwhile, the combination of old-school soul samples and hard-edge hip hop beats creates a sound that is both a modern re-imagining and an homage to tradition. Musically it offers everything-the quiet storm, the bedroom, the club/house party, riding in your car or even cleaning up the house. In my opinion, it's a heart-wrenching emotional odyssey that explores the many shades, both light and dark (moreso dark), of romance.įrom the rapturous desire of "You Bring Me Joy" and "I Never Wanna Live Without You," the anger and confusion of "Be With You" and "Mary's Joint," the sadness and desperation of "I'm Goin Down" and "I Love You" to the pleas for understanding and trust-both from a partner ("I'm The Only Woman," "You Gotta Believe") and from oneself ("My Life," "Be Happy") every facet of love and relationships is explored with punch-you-in-the-gut honesty. Blige's My Life is one of my all-time favorite albums.
