Even 25 years later, Blige’s bristling delivery on My Life still sounds raw. She completely owns Rose Royce’s 1976 soul classic “I’m Going Down,” and her promise of happiness amid the drama still rings true on the exuberant “You Bring Me Joy.”
With Blige taking the songwriting reins, My Life remains her most revelatory and creatively vital work to date.
Earning an award for Top R&B Album at the 1995 Billboard Music Awards, as well as a Grammy nomination for Best R&B album in 1996, My Life stands alone as an unflinching document of Blige as she struggled to see light in the darkness.
With My Life, Blige established herself an unrivaled voice in R&B. She would go on release 11 more studio albums, start her own film production company and earn an Oscar nomination. Last December, Amazon Studios announced that an as-yet-untitled Blige documentary is in production, helmed by Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Over the course of her career, Blige became a symbol of female empowerment and perseverance, but on My Life, she lay her soul bare to brilliant ends. For those who want to relive Blige’s embattled masterpiece, now’s the chance to rediscover My Life in two vinyl formats, sourced from the original masters.
