With over 16 Years in the industry and 40 million albums sold worldwide, The Queen of Hip Hop/Soul is Mary J Blige
returns with her 9th studio album 'Stronger.’
Since her 1992 debut - the modern classic 'What's the 411' all the way to 2008's 'Growing Pains', Mary J. Blige has
helped to redefine R&B, and more importantly, been an artist that uses her gift to lift spirits, touch lives and bring her
heart, soul and truth to those who are willing to listen.
On 'Stronger' Mary told Rap Up magazine: “The album represents who and what I am right now. I'm a stronger human
being after all the growing pains. It's about life, love, change, strength—mostly really knowing who you are and being
confident in that”
Over the span of her 16-year career, Mary has blessed us with 8 platinum and multi-platinum studio albums (she
released a live album in 1998 and a greatest hits album in 2005 both to critical acclaim and incredible sales) selling more than 40 million copies worldwide. With every album she has proven that hers is a voice of healing; a voice of reckoning.
The album features musical contributions from T.I., Rodney Jenkins, Drake, Darkchild, Swizz Beatz, Sean Garrett, Polow Da Don, Tricky Stewart, The-Dream, Stargate and Ne-Yo. Features the tracks 'The One' (featuring Drake) and 'I Am' and also includes 'I Can See in Color', lifted from the critically acclaimed motion picture Precious: Based On The Novel “Push" By Sapphire.

Performer Notes - Stronger with Each Tear's first four songs are decorated like NASCAR vehicles, with IDs from the Runners and Akon, Rodney Jerkins, Ryan Leslie, Stereotypes, and T.I. all heard before the voice of Mary J. Blige enters the mix. Sound logos and gratuitous self-serving plugs from producers and guest MCs are nothing new in mainstream R&B, but when an album by Mary J. Blige is dominated by them, in such an extended succession, a longtime follower's minor irritation has the potential to turn to low-level rage. And while it is also understandable that the appearance of 2009 breakout star Drake on "The One" will help boost sales, the disparity is glaring; the MC was five years old when What's the 411? was released. Trey Songz, featured on another track, wasn't much older. Even when factoring these matters, Stronger with Each Tear is a very good Blige album, if not a classic. One of her briefest sets, it is tremendously (almost studiously) balanced between all the ground she has covered so well before. That's no criticism, though, since most of the songs are easily memorable and display so much range. Those who detest "The One" on principle, for its use of Auto-Tune, need only to forward to the album's final song, a quiet and sparse throwback (to 40-plus years ago) production from Raphael Saadiq in which Blige professes new love to chilling effect. ~ Andy Kellman
Professional Reviews Rolling Stone (pp.55-56) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Blige's experiment works in the context of her album....In the fantastic Stargate/Ne-Yo jam 'I Feel Good,' she flashes the robot-voice ostinatos like a new pair of stilettos."
Entertainment Weekly (p.71) - "There's so much feel-goodness, you might long for the drama of yore. Luckily, she brings it on the bouncy piano groove 'Kitchen'..." -- Grade: B
Billboard (p.32) - "Blige has never been in better voice -- or more adventurous. The metaphor-rich 'Kitchen' finds the singer/songwriter admonishing would-be man-stealers."
