Image Source: Life may have come out over 20 years ago, but the tracks are timeless and classics, combining soul influences with a contemporary hip-hop feel to create a fresh, bold sound, generated from the New Jack Swing Movement in the late ’80s to early ’90s. The intimate, 3x platinum My Life album stands alone as Blige’s document, as she struggled to see the light in the darkness. She has become an Oscar-nominated actor and even founded her own production company, Blue Butterfly. In recent years, Blige has recorded various albums and duets, from Bono to George Michael. In 2011, Blige released My Life II… The Journey Continues (Act 1), a clear-eyed extension of My Life that shot to No. My Life was nominated for a Grammy for Best R&B Album in 1995. Rolling Stone has included the album on their 50 Essential Female Albums (#17), 100 Greatest Albums of the ’90s (#63), and 500 Greatest Albums of All Time (#279) lists.
