Review

'Share My World' was a game-changer for Mary J. Blige - her first album to land at #1 on the Billboard 200 right out the gate. This 1997 release shows Mary stepping into a more polished R&B sound while still keeping it real with her emotional delivery that fans love. She brought some serious talent along for the ride too, with Lil' Kim, Nas, The LOX, and R. Kelly all making appearances throughout the album. You can really hear her growing as an artist here, finding that sweet spot between commercial appeal and staying true to her roots.

The production on this joint is smooth as butter, moving away from her earlier hip-hop soul vibe into something more refined. Mary's vocals on tracks like 'Love Is All We Need' and 'It's On' hit different - showing off both her power and vulnerability. And let's talk about 'Not Gon' Cry' - that track alone proves why she earned that "Queen of Hip-Hop Soul" title. The album went triple platinum in the States and scooped up a Soul Train Lady of Soul Award for Best R&B/Soul Album. Looking back, this was definitely the moment Mary cemented her spot as one of the most important voices in R&B. - Asher
