I have been a dedicated Mary J Blige fanatic since the days
of her infamous albums:
- What's the 411
- My Life
- Share My World
- No More Drama
- Mary
Reminiscing
takes me back to the emotional dimensions I would visit in my mind, listening
to stimulating ballads that frequently imitated my own unbalanced life.
Mary J. Blige, poised and fearless, takes us to another level with
her explosive contemporary album-The London Sessions. UK's own Sam Smith,
Disclosure and Emeli Sande are a few of the brilliant artists that conspired
with Mary to create this innovative masterpiece.
I was excited to listen to this album with no interruptions-listed
below are some of my personal favorites. The Mary on this album sounded revived
and restored. The tone and beats proved more healing and therapeutic than on
past albums. I found myself genuinely and attentively listening to the words of
each song.. My mood improved, I felt pleased and truly captivated by this
unique soulful/ UK-esque creation.
- Therapy
- Right Now
- Long Hard Look
- Worth my time
Mary J. known respectfully as the "Queen of Hip-Hop Soul" modestly claims:
- Eight
multi-platinum albums
- Nine
Grammy Awards including 31 nominations
- A 2012
Golden Globe nomination
- Four American Music Awards
This album introduces an impressive concoction of hip-hop soul
and ingenious artistic talent proving to the world, that Mary J. Blige has
truly evolved. The London Sessions is an exceptional album with a release date
of December 2nd on
Capitol Records.
