It’s warm, light and you can’t help but smile when you hear it. It’s a sticky situation that can make or break any relationship. It’s the classic tale of being torn between wanting more with a friend, but wanting to keep the true foundation of that friendship. In this song, Blige sings about falling in love with a dear friend and not wanting things to change after they’ve been intimate. George Benson, this is Blige at her core, sharing relatable experiences and making you reflect on your own. Written and produced by Malik “Zavy Kid” Pendleton and ft. “Seven Days” is by far one of my favorite Mary J. This song is reminiscent of Blige’s earlier works and is a great start to the album. Perfectly fused with Blige’s sound, Lil’ Kim delivers bar after bar, reminding us why she will forever be the Queen Bee. As she professes her love, you feel each lyric as she declares “I can love you better than she can.” Adding Lil’ Kim to the track is like the icing on the cake. Produced by Rodney Jerkins, Blige sings about wanting the love of someone who may or may not feel the same about her. Here are a few of the most notable tracks from Share My World. In addition to topping the charts, this album was certified double platinum by the RIAA in November of 1997 and earned Blige an American Music Award and Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards for Best R&B album. 1 on the Billboard Top 100 charts and featured artists such as Lil’ Kim, Nas, The Lox, George Benson, and Roy Ayers.
Share My World was Blige’s first album to reach No.
On this album, she had a range of producers to include: Rodney Jerkins, Babyface, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, R. This is the first album she released under MCA records after leaving Uptown, and also the first since severing ties with Sean “Puffy” Combs. At its core, it was still Blige’s signature style except on a softer scale. Released on April 22, 1997, this is the album where her sound began to shift from hip-hop soul to more R&B. Share My World is the third studio album from Mary J.
