Mary Jane is a reworking of Mary Jane Girls’ fantastic 1983 hit All Night Long. It is hard to go wrong with source material as good as that, but this is a supremely classy take: a languorous vocal, luscious samples from Teddy Pendergrass’s Close the Door and a killer remix featuring LL Cool J.
This fruitfully reanimated the Blige and Method Man partnership nearly a decade after I’ll Be There for You/You’re All I Need to Get By. Over a tough, insistent groove, she ponders the mysteries of immediate physical attraction, while he sounds like the last person you would want to be immediately attracted to: “You find me just ’bout everywhere th...
Backed by high-drama Bennie and the Jets piano, Deep Inside offers a similar I’m-still-the-same message to Jennifer Lopez’s Jenny from the Block, but Blige’s performance is so racked, the lyrics so frank – “I don’t have a lot of friends … Is it cash they see when they look at me?” – that it feels like genuine soul-baring.
Blige’s second album, My Life, was confessional and raw, dealing with addiction, abuse and mental health. Its Curtis Mayfield-sampling closer is ostensibly upbeat and dancefloor-focused, but there is a powerful tension there: the lyrics are, at best, cautiously optimistic; the melody of the hook is overcast and brooding.
By the time of 2005’s The Breakthrough, Blige was a master at alchemising her troubles into potent material. Take Me As I Am is simultaneously laid-back (the music is based on Lonnie Liston Smith’s Garden of Peace) and steely; the beat is harder than you might expect from a ballad, the lyrics defiant.
The title track of Blige’s third album – a noticeably lighter affair than its predecessor – boasts a fabulous Rodney Jerkins production in which disco-era syndrums ricochet around glossy synths, the smooth mood disrupted by the noticeable ache in Blige’s voice. It is not a love song so much as a song pleading for love.
The influential hybrid “hip-hop soul” sound of Blige’s debut album, What’s The 411?, in a nutshell. Beats swiped from an old Biz Markie track, a beautifully controlled but emotive vocal, a nod to old soul in its chorus borrowed from Patrice Rushen: musical traditions rearranged and reconfigured into something new.
A booming, dense production by Jam & Lewis, a feature from Nas in his imperial phase – his guest verse is genuinely imaginative – a killer hook, Blige on commanding form. Even here, delivering a buoyant paean to lasting romance, there is a raw power and attitude to her voice that sets her apart.
The video for Enough Cryin suggests the song is rooted in memories of Blige’s turbulent relationship with the Jodeci vocalist K-Ci. Whatever the inspiration, it is a ferocious, thrilling outpouring of anger and bitterness, complete with an appearance by Blige’s rapping alter ego Brook Lynn: “Shoulda Marc Jacob Fe Fe bagged me when you had me.”
Blige’s albums got spottier as the millennium wore on – there was a Christmas collection and collaborations with Disclosure and Sam Smith – but 2017’s Strength of a Woman boasted a no-further-questions classic in U + Me, a heartbroken ballad on which the hazy, stoned summer afternoon sound only emphasised the power of her voice.
