▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ Here is the highly anticipated album ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ from Mary J. Blige, she decided to go ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ back the P Diddy route again for a ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ producer and this album has some great ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ guest appearances. It's been awhile ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ since Mary's last album but this one ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ is sure to keep everyone wanting more ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ and more! Big shouts out to everyone who ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ realizes that releases are more important ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ than words. ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ Nobody tells it like Mary. With a voice ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ that is rough and ready, sweet and pure, ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ Mary J. Blige is capable of conveying ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ heartache and happiness in a single ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ musical phrase. A confessional singer, ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ her emotional honesty reflects the ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ great traditions of blues and soul with ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ a ripped-from-the-pages-of-your-diary ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ immediacy that has won her countless ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ honors and a devoted, ever-growing ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ audience around the world. Over the ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ course of twelve years, five studio albums ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ and one live collection, Mary J. Blige ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ never fails to deliver potent R&B/hip ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ hop mantras that work on the head, ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ heart and hips. More than a vocalist, ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ she is an accomplished recording artist ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ known for her electrifying live ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ performances, dramatic videos, and ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ innovative studio productions with a ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ who's-who and who's-hot of musical ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ talents from Elton John to Eve. A quantum ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ leap forward and a welcomed return to ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ her roots, Love & Life, the latest CD ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ from Mary J. Blige, reunites Mary and ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, the ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ producer-performer who crowned her the ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ Queen of Hip-Hop Soul. Now a seasoned ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ songwriter (she co-wrote 17 of the ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ album's 18 tracks) as well as a ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ brickhouse vocalist, Mary co-executive ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ produced the album with P. Diddy. They ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ collaborated on many of the albums' ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ tracks, including the pulsating first ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ single, "Love @ First Sight," a tune ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ inspired by her real life romance that ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ features Method Man, as well as "Let Me ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ Be The One" (featuring 50 Cent). Blige ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ and Combs won a Grammy in 1996 for "I'll ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ Be There/You're All I Need To Get By." ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ "The person I really am is hip hop. That ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ stuff lives in me, says Mary. I know how ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ to choose whatever sample is the hottest ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ thing cause I've lived in the clubs. ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ I've been to block parties since I was ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ 16. I've grown up in hip-hop culture." ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ Reflecting a new-found serenity without ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ forgetting her trademark straight-up ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ messages to players, cheaters, and ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ fools, Love & Life features club-ready ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ slammers ("Ooh!"), tender love ballads ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ ("Special Part of Me"), and ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ gospel-flavored songs ("Ultimate ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ Relationship"). "Not Today" featuring ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Eve, once again pairs her with producer ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ Dr. Dre, who produced Mary's #1 smash ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ 2002 single, "Family Affair." "This album ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ is more upbeat," she notes. "It's a ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ celebration of coming full circle. It's ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ who I am and who Mary J. Blige has ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ been." Delivered with conviction and ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ compassion, the songs on Love & Life are ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ evidence of Mary's spiritual growth and ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ her transcendence over a childhood in ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ the projects of Yonkers, New York and ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ an early success plagued with drama, all ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ the way up to her current joy. "Yes she's ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ gotten lost; shes done this and that, ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ and she's been trying to figure it ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ out," Mary admits in her typically ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ forthright manner. The team of Combs and ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ Blige helped usher in a stylish, "ghetto ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ fabulous" hybrid of R&B that united ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ gospel and blues-influenced vocals ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ with high-tech funk and rap on Mary's ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ groundbreaking 1991 debut, What's The ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ 411? Their follow-up, 1994's My Life set ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ a standard for soul that remains ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ unmatched. ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ It also set her up for some hard life ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ lessons explored on 1997's Share My ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ World and 1999's Mary. With the same ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ inner strength and raw honesty she had ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ used to tackle her personal pain, these ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ uncompromising recordings revealed the ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ universality of Mary's heartaches and ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ demonstrated the healing power of music. ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ "I didn't want to tell my business," ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ she continues. "I had no other choice. I ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ wrote it down and people came back to me ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ and said 'You saved my life!' without ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ even knowing that when they listened to ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ me sing, it helped me, too." Ushering ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ in the 21st century Mary released the ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ triple-platinum No More Drama in 2001. ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ "I always thought my fans were just inner ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ city, but people from all over the world ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ and of every color responded to that ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ record. I gave a lot of myself not ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ knowing it was gonna reach so many ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ people." She has also reached them in ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ other arenas, as a budding actress on ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ television (Strong Medicine) and in ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ the independent film Prison Song ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ (co-starring with rapper Q-Tip), as well ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ as in her humanitarian efforts. ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ In addition to filming anti-drug public ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ service announcements, Mary has worked ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ with various education groups and received ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ Rock The Vote's highest honor, the ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ Patrick Lippert Award. She is a ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ tireless fundraiser for people with ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ AIDS and continues as the spokeswoman ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ for MAC's Viva Glam IV with all proceeds ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ from the lipstick earmarked to AIDS ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ education and research. Whether pouring ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ her heart out in a recording booth or ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ on a concert stage, or privately ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ learning how to love herself and help ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ others, Mary J. Blige has discovered ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ something powerful. The music that she ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ makes, the songs that have brought so ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ much joy and solace to so many, have ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ also been her own salvation. "Going ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ through all the stuff I went through ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ wasn't in vain because I found out that ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ my job is to give," she concludes. "No ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ More Drama wasn't just an album; it was ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ a transition in my life. I was tired of ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ suffering, of the hustle and hassle of ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ everyday life. I figured out that all ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ along, the problem had been pride and ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ ignorance. Right now I'm growing, I'm ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ learning, and I'm listening. I realized ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ that I need to hear the truth and that ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ the truth is setting me free. And what ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
