Mary J. Blige
My Life II...The Journey Continues
5/5
You know how earlier in the year I said I was disappointed in the Jill Scott's Light of the Sun. That is because I was expecting something like this.
There is great production with awesome percussion. On top that Blige's voice on this album is great. The lyrics are none to shabby either. Honestly, this is some of the best R&B I've heard in years. I was get a bit tired of pretty boys who can dance making albums for teenage girls.
Next July in the season of the family picnic you're probably going to be hearing cuts from this album everywhere. And you'll love it.
There are a lot of tracks that evoke sort of a laid back feeling, like "Midnight Drive" but there are also a lot of deeper more emotional tracks like "No Condition" and "Empty Prayers" And no lie, but "Feel Inside" is probably the best hip-hop track I've heard all year.
As the album goes on it becomes more and more mellow, moving into the acoustic guitar ballad, "Need Someone."
Like I said this is probably the best R&B album of the year.
