missfee said: album is great....feels like those days when "My Life" came out, you know when she got different, but in a good way, well she's did again, not saying that it sounds like "My Life" just saying its the next great thing after "My Life" because in my opinion, "My Life" is her all time best album.
There are shades of My Life in it, particularly the heavier hitting songs, but I most think of Share My World. It sounds a good deal like that album. | |

No Out of curiosity, which Prince song would you say it's an imitation of? [Edited 12/9/05 11:58am] Its more like an Ode to Aretha Franklin..Man that song is HOTT! I like tha lbum it's pretty nice. I have about 18 tracks so i am guessing not all of it is going to end up on it, but I hope my favorites get picked. There were SOME sappy ones, but this album is pretty cool...it doesnt have that "I am tryin to be mary 411" shit or all that played out late 90's R&B bull. Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |

I was waiting to see who would eb firs to say that. Why is is that any black female artist that puts out music has to be vocally or physically compared to Beyonce? Is she God or something?? I never considered Beyonce a vocalist. She is too much physicall. MaryJ.she´s a real singer. Hope this album should be better than the previous one. My top Mary J. albums are: 1. Mary 2.The Tour 3. Share My World 4. Whats the 411 5.No more drama. "Todo está bien chévere" Stevie | |

This is a return to form for Mary. I am so happy, like Mariah, Mary is back also. And will people stop comparing everyone's album cover to Beyonce, (like Mariah's Mimi) geeze, Gett off Beyonce's nuts 4 christ sake! Is their a law against having a similar looking photograph? I've never seen a site where people complain about album covers so much, LOL.
Anyway, like I said, this is a return to form. She sounds great once again. The last album (love and life) was supposed to be a return to the hip hop Mary but the songs were uninspiring and so was Puffy. This album is less hip-hop and more like her album titled, "Mary" which is a more soulful, deeper mary. Songs like, "Take Me as I am" bring up memories of her first album and the song, "whatcha Gonna do." Holla back! | |

I can´t wait to get mine. And yes, 6.My Life, my life, my life, my life... Not in stores yet. That's why the thread's called "'Mary J's BREAKTHROUGH has leaked." | |

Ok, I Found My Everything just put the album over the top for me. Once you hear the whole thing in its complete sequence a couple of times, it has this really lovely old-school, Marvin/Aretha vibe. God I love Saadiq's stuff.
And while I first thought her singing sounded bored, I'm now thinking she's just singing more on-key than before! [Edited 12/14/05 15:37pm] | |
