Mary J. Blige is an award-winning singer and songwriter, who is also known as the “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul.”
Mary Jane Blige was born in New York City in 1971. Her earliest experiences in music came in the form of a band named Pride and working as a backup vocalist for other artists at Uptown Records. Her first studio album was What’s the 411? (1992) and was predominantly produced by Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs. It went all the way to number six on the U.S. Billboard 200 and has since been certified as triple platinum. The main singles released from the album were “You Remind Me,” “Real Love,” “Reminisce,” “Sweet Thing,” and “Love No Limit.” The album won two Soul Train Music Awards in 1993, and a remixed version was released the following year.
Her second studio album was released in 1994 and titled My Life. It went to seven on the US Billboard 200. This album was also mainly produced by Combs. It was number one on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart for eight weeks and it won the 1995 Billboard Music Award for Top R&B Album. Like her debut album, it was certified as triple platinum and a remix would be released the following year. Singles released from this album are “Be Happy,” “I’m Goin’ Down,” “Mary Jane (All Night Long),” “You Bring Me Joy,” and “I Love You.”
Share My World (1997), her third album, debuted at the top of the charts. The album ranked on international charts as well and is her most successful album to date. Singles from this album included “Love Is All We Need,” “I Can Love You,” “Everything,” “Missing You,” and “Seven Days.” She released a Gold-certified live album recorded on the Share My World Tour. Her fourth Studio album, Mary (1999), debuted second on the charts. The singles off the double platinum album were “As,” “All That I Can Say,” “Deep Inside,” “Give Me You,” and “Your Child.”
In the 2000s, Blige released No More Drama (2001), Love and Life (2003), The Breakthrough (2005), Growing Pains (2007), Stronger with Each Tear (2009) with memorable songs including “Family Affair,” “Whenever I Say Your Name,” a duet with singer Sting titled “MJB da MVP,” “Stay Down,” and “The One”. In the 2010s, she released My Life II… The Journey Continues (Act 1) (2011), A Mary Christmas (2013), The London Sessions (2014), and Strength of a Woman (2017). Notable songs on these albums included “Mr. Wrong,” “Therapy,” and “Thick of It”. During this time, she also worked on the Think Like a Man Too soundtrack (2014).
Blige released Strength of a Woman, her 13th studio album in 2017. The album was produced by a variety of artists and featured several guest appearances including Quavo and Missy Elliot. It debuted at number three on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. Singles from this album included “Thick of It,” “U + Me (Love Lesson),” “Love Yourself,” and “Set Me Free.”
In 2022, she released Good Morning Gorgeous, her 14th studio album, and it would mark the first time that Blige has released an album on her own label. The album features guest artists like Fivio and Usher. It spawned the singles “Good Morning Gorgeous,” “Amazing,” “Rent Money,” and “Come See About Me.” It reached #14 on the Billboard 200.
Throughout her career, Blige has been showered with awards for her music including 10 Billboard Music Awards, nine Grammy Awards, four American Music Awards, and nominations for both Golden Globe Awards and Academy Awards. She has also made numerous appearances in television and movies, including Betty and Coretta (2013), Black Nativity (2013), Mudbound (2017), and Trolls World Tour (2020).
