This Usher song is a smashhhh
https://youtu.be/9FIbRKyZamY
And I love the song with Dave East :stressed:
https://youtu.be/AHHpGkqa1fg
This is gonna go down as a classic Mary song
https://youtu.be/G5gBm9ffxBY
Who is this robot singing? I can't
Wait lemme get into these struggle vocals
A REALLY good day for R&B
Mary J's new album
Jazmine and Sevyn putting out deluxe versions of their projects
New K Michelle
Imma get in after Jazmine
I truly love this album. You can tell she tried a different direction with the material and I'm so proud of her. IMHO it sounds so refreshing for her. I only hate how short the songs are but I understand in the new era of short attention spans.
Come See About Me
Here With Me
Love Will Never
Love Without a Heartbreak
Need Love w/ Usher is a HIT
9/10 for me! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
OAN: Although I love Rent Money and Amazing, both don't fit the sound of this album when you hear it in it's entirety.
Aside from a few songs, I don't like it. Her voice is shot.
Who vocal produced this? The vocals sounds so processed. :dead:
The songs are actually really good
Its just her voice sounds terrible
Failing In Love is my favorite so far.

Ok Need Love would be #1 on Urban AC if she put that out. She sounds ok on that
Her vocal approach seems to b very different
almost in line with the new way people are singing these days
I wonder if that was deliberate or if she's suffered a vocal injury of sorts

The song with Usher is a Urban radio smash waiting to happen

She needs to go back to whatever approach she was using on "U + Me". She sounded decent on that

Honestly she sounds like she drinks a lot and should cut back. That'll dry them vocals out more than anything else can, on top of potentially injuring her chords

This is probably it. During the Breakthrough and Growing Pains era she had stopped drinking completely but I think she has been drinking too much again since her marriage fell apart. She always out partying and drunk these days.

I admit there are a couple of songs where her vocals are strained but overall I don't get the reviews from the collective on here. Granted, when your benchmark is theVocal Bible I can understand the negativity around some vocal imperfections. The days of her hitting those Mariah Carey notes are gone.

Every time i see a viral clip of her, it's something I've noticed. As a singer or anyone that uses their voice to do
anything, it's just not a good idea to drink that often (if she does).

She is definitely drinking. She said in interviews years back she started drinking again but only a glass or two on special occasions. I think she started spiraling when her marriage broke down.

on what day did Mary J Blige hit Mariah Carey notes in her 30 year career? :dead:
But yea it's not the skill or range that's her problem. I actually think she's doing some good runs and I heard a nice head voice note or 2. It's just the tone/timbre of her voice throughout that's unpleasant. She used to have a very soulful tone

I can definitely agree with the statement about her soulful tone. THAT has definitely changed. Her voice is more airy now. I don't think it's basically trash as some has alluded to, but it has indeed changed.
She sounds just like Mariah. 😊
I love their friendship. ❤️
Mary drinks her wine every damn day, I believe she's cutting back tho. Album is fiyah.
This slaps from Start to finish :plzstop:
I'm living for these songs tbh
It's so refreshing that R&B these records have ENERGY
Quote from: L0NZ. on February 11, 2022, 08:45:45 AM
Did something happen to her voice
Maybe drug abuse catching up?
Ive never listened to a Mary album from start to finish. So I really only know her singles. But Im starting to listen to the songs on this and I can already tell her voice is in a much different shape. Shes sounding ashy like Whitney sounded on her Look To You project. I dont mind it as much cause Ive never gone up for MJB vocally like that, but yeah, something is off.
The album is actually good.
Love Will Never and Here With Me are the only songs I really love. The others are okay.
I've been playing this album all day!! Definitely her best album in a while.
Need love with Usher is just 🔥🔥🔥🔥 he sounds good af. The entire album is good, the worst song is that Amazing song. Solid album otherwise.
She does sound different but some nice songs

It's a little early in the year to be calling it. But I do love Mary and I'm not mad at this project. I find myself playing it more then the other albums of this year from any genre.
I watched her on the Breakfast Club and I'm mostly excited to hear the full album she's working on next with Dr. Dre producing everything.
I kinda hope she catches an Explicit Lyrics feature.

Yes. And every single vocal on "I Look to You" and her live vocals were awful. It's why they didn't have her performing before the album came out.
Celine still got it. And lets not compare Mary J vocals to Whitney, Mariah, Celine and Toni. :uhh:
NXNFNFNFNFNFNNFN
the filter she used on her voice is really gritty.
"I Auto-Tune To You" was a really fucking good album.

Deterioration happens to many, but Mariah has been better since the pandemic hit and she could actually rest and Celine still sounds pristine overall. Hell, Gladys is in her 70's and u can TELL she takes care of her gift.

Even at their worst they all sounded better on Record than Mary does on these last 2 albums. Also... Mariah And Celine can still sing. Patti & Gladys can still sing and are like 80. GODna Summer could still sing in her 60's with CANCER vocals like... KLJDF:LKJF
Mary just sounds a mess due to her drunken habits. & this filter mess don't help either
