My Life (2020 Reissue)

Mary J. Blige, the legendary singer-songwriter, actress, philanthropist and honorary Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, will re-release her acclaimed 1994 sophomore album, My Life, via Geffen/UMe. The album, which celebrated its 25th anniversary November 29 / 2020, will be released on two physical formats: a 2cd, a standard weight black double.

The Yonkers-raised singer, recorded her 3x platinum 1992 debut, What's the 411?, with Sean 'Puffy' Combs behind the board.

Two years later Blige released her most introspective, personal and culturally impactful album of her career, My Life. To craft the sound, she asked Chucky Thompson, a Washington, D.C. record producer known for being in Bad Boy Entertainment's 'Hitmen' producer's club, to join Price Charles Alexander behind the boards; he gave the sound a radiant blend of R&B and quiet storm. And Blige flexed her encyclopaedic knowledge of soul by sampling Roy Ayers ('My Life'), Curtis Mayfield ('I'm The Only Woman'), Isaac Hayes ('I Love You') and Al Green ('No One Else').
