Many of the topics on the album deal with clinical depression, a singer’s battling with both drugs and alcohol, as well as being in an abusive relationship. It ultimately spent 46 weeks on the Billboard 200 and 84 weeks on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The album sold 231,000 copies its first week. So that was another perspective behind my recording the album.” - Sourced by Mary J. Blige My Life My Life is the second studio album by American R&B recording artist which was released on 29th November 1994, by Uptown Records. In its first week sales, 'My Life' debuted at number seven on the US Billboard 200 and debuted on the top spot of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart for an unprecedented eight weeks. And given the climate right now-the recession, war and other issues-I remembered there was so much healing with the first My Life. That’s one of the reasons for this sequel. What’s consistent is the fact that we all remain challenged in life to get to that next level. “And every album since then, from Share My Worldand No More Drama to The Breakthrough and Stronger With Each Tear, has marked a point of growth and evolution for me and my fans. “The original My Life started a movement,” reflects Blige. The singer returns just as fierce and compelling on her 10th studio album, the aptly titled “My Life II … The Journey Continues (Act 1).” Released via Blige’s Geffen/Interscope-distributed Matriarch label, the new project doubles as the sequel to Blige’s 1994 classic My Life. With a track record of eight multi-platinum albums, nine Grammy Awards (plus a staggering 29 nominations) and four American Music Awards, Blige is only getting started.
Blige’s calling card ever since her 1992 multi-platinum debut album, What’s the 411? And in the ensuing years, the singer/songwriter’s musical strong suit has attracted an intensely loyal fan base-responsible for propelling worldwide sales of more than 50 million albums. With each album, it’s just me continuing to grow.”
