Mary's Breathrough



I'm loving Mary J's new album. I was beginning to have my doubts about her especially after the horrific Love & Life and No More Drama albums. She was a victim of her own misery in My Life, Share My World, and Mary. She spoke to a generation about inner struggle and it paid off. I once heard someone compare her to Aretha Franklin and on some level this might be true but the one thing Aretha Franklin has done that Mary J has yet to is produce a successful album about love and true happines. It seems we all loved the miserable Mary but she's really shined on The Breakthrough. Mary J Blige has found love. You hear it in songs like No One Will Do, Be Without You, and So Lady.

This album truly makes me long for love.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.......ok, I'm over it now.
