![]() Hidden Gems: “Kitchen” and “Brand New” (iTunes pre-order track)Ī Mary Christmas flaunts the broad spectrum of talents by Blige. Stronger also dawned Blige’s ostentatious album title phase and her soundtrack scores as album closers. Although Blige was in a ‘stronger’ space vocally, the album fell weak with generic songs like “We Got Hood Love” featuring Trey Songz. Blige’s ninth album is a happy medium between free-good records and tracks that consisted of low-drama. Stronger with Each Tear is probably not the successor fans expected after 2007’s regal Growing Pains. To salute Blige’s solid discography, Rated R&B has ranked all 15 studio albums from least epic to most epic. Since then, Blige has done her part to discredit the LP - not performing songs off the project on tour and bypassing and overlooking the album in media conversations. The 18-track set, packed with heavy soul and edgy rap samples, birthed a top-10 R&B hit (“Love 1st Sight”) and two other moderately successful singles (“Ooh” and “Not Today”).Īlthough Love & Life earned Blige her second number one album on the Billboard 200 and gained Blige another platinum victory, the new artistic direction left a sour taste in the mouths of critics and career-long fans. Returning to humble beginnings, Blige and Diddy settled on recreating their ‘90s hip-hop soul magic on Love & Life. ![]()
