Mary J. Blige- MARY- CD- 17.08.1999- MCA Records/UMG Recordings, Inc.- 008811225520- 400 grn
MARY is the fourth studio album by American singer Mary J. Blige. The album was released in the United States on August 17, 1999, and in the United Kingdom on October 1, 1999. MARY signaled a new chapter not only in the singer’s life, but in her musical evolution. In the three studio albums leading up to the album, Blige earned her place in the industry by fusing uptempo hip-hop swagger with rough-hewn vocals that unearthed the pain and passion of black womanhood. ‘Deep Inside’ finds the singer at her most vulnerable and introspective over ELTON JOHN’s 1973 classic “Bennie And The Jets,” lamenting the obstacles that her fame creates for her relationships. Hardly a sample or interpolation, when you’re Mary J. Blige, you just get Sir ELTON himself to come and play piano on the track for you. ARETHA FRANKLIN weighs in and advises her soulful progeny on “Don’t Waste Your Time.” Swapping out guest MCs for rock’n’roll legends on MARY, Blige recruited ERIC CLAPTON for the slow-burning “Give Me You,” an organ-heavy olive branch of forgiveness. SLOWHAND saves the fancier fretwork for later, quietly supporting Blige until he fully unleashes his guitar mid-way through the song. Also Features BABYFACE, LAURYN HILL, NATHAN EAST, JADAKISS And GEORGE MICHAEL. Perhaps it was inevitable that Mary J. Blige would mature, toning down the raunchier elements of her persona that have been evident since her debut, while repositioning herself as a classicist soul singer. Even so, the sheer classiness of MARY, her fourth album, may come as a bit of a surprise. Blige made a conscious effort to create an album that recalled the classic dawning days of quiet storm yet worked as a unified, cohesive album. That meant that the more overt hip-hop elements have been subdued in favor of '70s soul. There's still grit in the music, but it's been glossed over with a polished production, and she now favors sophisticated songs, including material from such writers as STEVIE WONDER, BACHARACH/DAVID, LAURIN HILL, and ELTON JOHN/BERNIE TAUPIN. Some of these writers were collaborators and others contributed songs outright, but the amazing thing about the end result belongs to nobody else but Blige. It's different, to be sure, but still her - and it's a rewarding, engaging way to mature. Blige's voice is richer and her skills have deepened, and her new songs, while not as streetwise, are worthy of her talents. Consequently, MARY is a thoroughly winning album.
