Few have covered the subjects with such detail and conviction as Blige, and the bottom line is that this 14th proper album of hers combines nuanced performances and succinct writing like none other.

This is gonna go hand in hand with Saba & Amber Mark's albums for making me pretty happy and strive to love myself more and have fun. Here With Me is great since I genuinely don't think .Paak has missed on a feature once, Dave East starts a bit rocky on his verse but I was surprised he linked with a pop queen, and the three stretch run from Amazing to the title track make me happy, especially knowing that Mary is happy and comfortable with herself.
