View More By Mary J. Blige Our Review1997’s Share My World marks the first major shift in Mary J. Blige’s career. She had switched labels, moved beyond the personal problems that plagued (and fuelled) the recording of My Life, and come out from under the wing of Sean Combs, who had overseen her first two albums. Share My World features diverse contributions from some of the top minds of ‘90s R&B, and the album’s mood is considerably less downcast than My Life. The opening songs —“I Can Love You,” “Round and Round” and “Share My World”— rise above the pain of old relationships, and focus instead on perseverance and optimism. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis provide one of the album’s best tracks, “Everything,” a lush, hypnotic declaration of love. Despite Mary’s newfound optimism, her voice always provides undertones of sadness, even on the upbeat songs. Of course, that’s Blige’s great talent — she is too complex to portray human emotions in simple terms. The album’s closing song, “Not Goin’ Cry,” is a beautiful evocation of endurance that upholds strength without betraying a feeling of forlornness.. Customer ReviewsThe best (4 stars)Mary does not get the recognition she deserves for the albums that she puts out. This is the stuff that you live your life to. Mary's Most Complete (5 stars) To date this is Mary J's most complete body of work. Why you say? this was Mary's transition album..This marks Mary transitioning from Hip-Hop Queen to the woman she is today. Share My World is Mary's only joint that holds street cred & R&B acclaim. This albums only rival is My Life. Listen and enjoy the transition of the woman who would be Queen. Exceptional !!! (5 stars) Mary is a class act !! This was one of the best albums of all times. It got me through a rough period in my life. To hear the songs and the words on each of these tracks you know that it brings life and that in order to sing this you've lived it. I LOVE YOU Mary J. this was an exceptional album it stands in a class by itself. BiographyBorn: January 11, 1971 in New York, NY [The Bronx]Genre: R&B/Soul Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s When her debut album, What's the 411?, hit the street in 1992, critics and fans alike were floored by its powerful combination of modern R&B with an edgy rap sound that glanced off of the pain and grit of Mary J. Blige's Yonkers, New York childhood. Called alternately the new Chaka Khan or new Aretha Franklin, Blige had little in common stylistically with either of those artists, but like them, she helped adorn soul music with new textures and flavors that inspired a whole generation of musicians....
