Mary J. Blige drop her latest Cd called Stronger with Each Tear on Monday December 21, 2009. OK, now are you ready for my Review?
Dear Mary,
Mary I am soooooo sorry but, you miss the mark on this one. First off you are good for 2 maybe 3 fast tracks on one Cd but, you need to stick with the gut wrenching slow cuts that your #1 fan (Totally Tania) is use to. Why do you have 5 fast tracks and 3 mid-tempo's on a 12 track Cd?
I will give you credit because your first single "The One" was my ring tone for a long time. I love that song not much of a fan of the remix with Drake but I will deal with it. Then, you drop the second single "I am" nice song and it has a grown folk feel but just didn't feel like Mary to me. Don't get me wrong I don't want you to be drunk and high Mary but, damn you could at least be "Be without you" Mary.
Review...
Check out "Good Love" featuring T.I. and "I Feel Good" (Track 4 and 5 if you have the bootleg copy) LMAO! She ends the Cd with 4 slow songs one of which that features Trey Songz or as I call him (Fake ass R. Kelly) it is an OK cut that will do well on the radio. "Kitchen" is a funny cut "In The Morning is classic Mary and real fans will feel this one. The last rack "I Can See In Color" is a throw back to the Aretha's and Etta's of the world.
Back to my letter...
Overall Mary I give your Cd bootleg status. Real fan's will buy it and make copies for other people so those folks can have a complete Mary collection. Hit me with a few remixes in 2010 and I will re-review the Cd.

I totally agree. I am all for the uptemple, can't nothing hold me back so let's dance tracks from Mary but this is not what made many fans including myself fall in love with her music. I think true music lies in feelings, which sometimes include pain and suffering. If people can feel what you are going through, the music will touch the spirit. However, the music industry is so superficial and financial driven that it has become increasingly more commercialized and this album fell victim to that.
ReplyDeleteFrom certain artist I do not expect subpar and this album is unfortunately that. It's a good thing I listened to it before purchasing. But I think she will bounce back. I still love Mrs. M.B.
