Blige ’s tireless work ethic, extraordinary singing talent and soul-level relatability are the secret ingredients to her longevity as a recording artist.Her discography includes nine GRAMMY wins and 37 nominations, and the multi-hyphenate artist continues to demonstrate that there’s no limit to her creativity.Blige is nominated for six awards at the 2023 GRAMMYs , including Album Of The Year and Best R&B Album for Good Morning Gorgeous (Deluxe).The title track is nominated in three categories: Record Of The Year, Best Traditional R&B Performance and Best R&B Song, and “Here With Me” is up for Best R&B Performance.Good Morning Gorgeous encapsulates the true self-love Blige felt after healing from divorce, abusive relationships and depression.
As she explains on an album interlude “good morning gorgeous” is the affirmation Blige now says to herself in the mornings — and, for the first time, she believes it.And when it comes to the odds of adding to her GRAMMY wins on Feb.
5, it’s safe to wager that Blige thinks they’re sound.”Bet on me, why not?” Blige sings in the chorus of the album’s “On Top.” “Don’t act like I never left on top.” For her resonant musical messages, Blige has been crowned the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul.But she’s also an industry professional who deftly sets and iterates on trends, keeping even her earliest releases relevant and exciting.Blige became a record label boss when she released Good Morning Gorgeous as a joint venture between Lyor Cohen’s 300 Entertainment and her own Mary Jane Productions.
She’s a frequent executive producer of her albums and multimedia projects and is set to executive produce two fictional films for Lifetime in 2023 through her production company Blue Butterfly.Real Love and Strength of a Woman are both named for her songs.Real Love is described as a romantic drama set in an upstate New York college.After more than 30 years of recording, Blige has amassed an acclaimed and extensive discography of consummate original classics, deep soundtrack cuts, scene-stealing covers and remixes.
Press play on the Amazon Music playlist above and use the below guide as a diving board into a career full of the empathetic pain, healing, promise and happiness that she has shared with unflinching honesty and vulnerability.The Queen Of Hip-Hop Soul Blige was living in a housing project in Yonkers, N.Y.
when the late Andre Harrell signed her to his Uptown Records, which released her 1992 debut album, What’s The 411? Harrell coined the nickname Queen of Hip-Hop Soul to describe the fresh way Blige’s music melded rap beats with R&B hooks.Harrell and his then-intern Sean Combs gave her a rugged style to match her music, with boots and baseball caps instead of heels and sparkles.Young women from the inner city saw themselves in Blige’s aesthetic and in her rawness.Yet admiration for Blige’s powerful vocals and unique tone grew before her name was ever recognized.Blige was first heard as a backup singer for Father MC’s 1990 hit “I’ll Do 4 U” and, the following year, her own single “You Remind Me” (from the Strictly Business soundtrack) gave Blige some street buzz to lead into What’s The 411? The hip-hop swagger of “Real Love” — which samples “Top Billin'” by Audio Two, a beat highly familiar to New York City fans at the time — served as her formal introduction to the world and remains a calling card decades later.The My Life Era (Extended Mix) Contrary to the music industry’s sophomore slump stereotype, Blige’s second album is a seminal work.
1994’s My Life became career-defining, and an album that she has subsequently reflected on to show her growth.The album is a reflection of her volatile relationship with singer Cedric “K-Ci” Hailey , Blige explained in Mary J.Blige’s My Life, a documentary she executive produced for Amazon Studios in honor of the album’s 25th anniversary.Throughout, Blige keenly pairs heights of happiness with depths of her despair on songs like “You Bring Me Joy,” “I’m Goin’ Down,” “I Love You” and “Be Happy.” “The whole ‘My Life’ album is, ‘Please love me, don’t go, I need you,'” she said in the documentary.Combs, then known as Puffy, continued: “When she made that album, she was fighting for her heart.” (Combs and Harrell served as executive producers of My Life.) Blige and Combs never collaborated quite so closely again, though they remained friends.
Combs didn’t produce 2011’s My Life II… The Journey Continues (Act 1), but he appears in a telephone skit to open the album, similarly to how he did on My Life.The sequel features guest stars such as Nas, Beyoncé and Drake .Though her earlier works hinted at the potential, My Life most firmly established Blige as a beacon for hurt hearts everywhere.In a 2021 interview with Trevor Noah , Blige described how childhood physical and mental abuse, as well as her relationship with Hailey, led to substance abuse and depression.When she used the songs on My Life as a way of saying she needed help, “four million people responded and said, ‘’We need help, too.'” Covers, Collaborations And Remixes Cover songs have been an acclaimed — and long-lasting — part of Blige’s career ever since she sang “Sweet Thing” by Rufus featuring Chaka Khan on What’s The 411? Blige released her hugely popular version of Rose Royce’s “I’m Goin’ Down” in 1994, which reached No.22 on the Billboard Hot 100, and she beat Beyoncé to the punch in 2000 with her take on Maze’s “Before I Let Go.” But her ascension to rock star status has a lot to do with her scene-stealing covers of songs of stadium-level acts.Blige has delivered epic versions of songs by Led Zeppelin (“Stairway To Heaven”) and Sting (“Whenever I Say Your Name”), and when she collaborated with U2 on a new version of “One,” there’s an audible battle with Bono as to whose song this is now.
Blige collaborates with rap, R&B, rock, country, electronic and classical artists with equal ease, and her discography includes work with late legends, including “Holdin’ On” with Aretha Franklin and a cover of Stevie Wonder ’s “As” with George Michael .She won her first career GRAMMY in 1995 for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group for “I’ll Be There For You / You’re All I Need To Get By,” a collaboration with Method Man that covers Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell .A dance music collaboration with London duo Disclosure called “F for You” in 2013 helped to catalyze an entire album from the Capital of England called The London Sessions.The 2014 album features a second collaboration with Disclosure (“Right Now”), a cameo from UK garage DJ/producer MJ Cole (“Nobody But You”) and guest vocals from Scottish singer Emeli Sandé (“Whole Damn Year”).
Blige has long understood the potency of both hip-hop and dance music remixes, which remain a part of her single roll-outs.Over the years, she created a remix album of songs from What’s The 411?, and in 2002 released club-focused reworks of songs from No More Drama, Mary and Share My World on Dance For Me.
Blige’s remixes also pay homage.On her cover of First Choice’s ” Let No Man Put Asunder ,” Blige honors singers who came before by featuring guest vocals from the group’s lead singer, Rochelle Fleming.Her Rap Alter Ego Blige has rapped a few times on her albums, beginning with a verse in “Love,” from 2001’s No More Drama.She won her first solo GRAMMY for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance in 2003 for “He Think I Don’t Know” from No More Drama.By the time she rhymed on “Enough Cryin’” and “Take Me As I Am” (both from 2005’s The Breakthrough), her rap alter ego had a name: Brook Lynn.
Her cadence caught the ear of her friend Busta Rhymes , who recruited Blige for his “Touch It (Remix)” the next year.
“The haters plot and they watch, lookin’ all pale/While I’m on a yacht overseas, doin’ my nails,” she raps alongside Busta, Missy Elliott and Rah Digga.Brook Lynn took a hiatus for a few years after that, but she came back blazing in 2011.”Homegirls love me and we be ridin’ Phantoms/Mad chicks hate me ’cause I be writin’ anthems,” she rhymes on “Midnight Drive” from My Life II… The Journey Continues (Act 1).The Soundtracks Since “You Remind Me,” her first Top 40 entry, appeared on the soundtrack to Strictly Business, Blige has written stunning original songs such as “I Can See in Color” for Precious (2009).
She has also licensed other hits to dozens of movies.After years of contributing to soundtracks, Blige created her own as executive producer and performer of the soundtrack for Think Like a Man Too (2014), which includes a cover of Shalamar’s “A Night to Remember” and guest appearances by Pharrell Williams and The-Dream .Blige has been cast in several acting roles since she guest starred in an episode of The Jamie Foxx Show in 1998 and has played fictional characters as well as real life figures Betty Shabazz (Betty and Coretta) and Dinah Washington (Respect).She received Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Song for her work on 2017 film Mudbound.More than 30 years into her recording career, Blige appears happy, energized and ready to add more hits and heartfelt anthems to her songbook.
Songbook: A Guide To Whitney Houston’s Iconic Discography, From Her ’80s Pop Reign To Soundtrack Smashes Photo: AB + DM interview Meet The First-Time GRAMMY Nominee: Viola Davis On Sharing Her Life To Help People Change Theirs & Her Potential EGOT Viola Davis has already netted an Academy Award, two Tonys, and an Emmy, but now the iconic actor has earned her first GRAMMY nod for her performance of the audiobook for her memoir, ‘Finding Me’ — a work that Davis hopes can help change lives.”There are not enough words and pages to quantify one’s life,” Viola Davis says with a warm, stern certainty — despite having delivered a memoir that carries a remarkable weight and beauty.Living through difficult experiences takes incredible strength.Living through them again to write a memoir and then read them aloud as an audiobook must be a herculean feat.But it should come as no surprise that Davis has proven herself more than capable of meeting that challenge.The acclaimed actor’s memoir, Finding Me, reaches back to her difficult childhood, to trauma and struggle, and continues through on her journey of healing and artistic achievement — and Davis delivers it with an uncanny blend of fragility and strength.Davis, a first-time GRAMMY nominee, has been lauded for her efforts, with Finding Me receiving a nod for Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording at the 2023 GRAMMYs .
And now the audiobook extends the possibility to add a GRAMMY Award to her awards shelf alongside an Emmy, an Oscar, and two Tonys, potentially making her the 18th person to complete the EGOT.While joining those ranks would be an undeniable honor, Davis’ vision of achievement and impact remains much simpler: helping others find the hope and healing that she discovered.”When you begin to connect with yourself, to unpack your life and make peace with it, it’s easier to connect to the world — and I want other people to do the same,” she says.
GRAMMY.com caught up with Davis to talk about how reading Finding Me differed from her usual style of performance, finding her calling in life, and what joining the ranks of EGOT winners would mean to her.Let’s start at the beginning! How did you feel when you got the call that you were nominated for a GRAMMY? I don’t know if I expected it.When I wrote the book, I was just trying to write a good book.That was the goal.
I wanted to be honest.
I wanted to honor the people who were in my life and who were the subject of my story.And that was it.Everything else that came out of it has been the icing on the cake, those beautiful sort of boons and gifts that come when you put yourself out there.’Cause they don’t always come.
The GRAMMY nomination and how the book has done have been truly a gift that I didn’t expect.And it’s something of your own.It takes such an incredible amount of introspection to write a memoir, and Finding Me is simultaneously so elegant and raw.I can imagine that the whole experience of writing was incredibly powerful as well — putting yourself at the forefront, but also giving yourself the time to honor that self.
Absolutely.The character that I played in The Woman King, Nanisca, who is the leader of this female army, has a line in the movie that has been motivating me in this part of my life.She says to her daughter, Nawi, “I’m sorry I left you.I wasn’t brave enough.” And I just never want to get to the end of my life with that turn, saying, “I wasn’t brave enough.” And I certainly do not wanna get to the point in my life that I say that to my younger self.
I don’t wanna leave my story behind.I don’t want wanna leave it unexplored, not articulated, hidden, in a vat of shame.I don’t want that.With this book you got to tell your own story in your own time, and you get to shine a light on stories that haven’t been told before.
And now that might bring you into the storied halls of EGOT winners.You don’t seem like the type of person driven primarily by ego, but the EGOT is a rare achievement and a huge moment to recognize all the work that you’ve done in the past as well.I absolutely, definitely think about it as a huge accomplishment.I feel this way, even though it’s probably a very dramatic statement on my part: I think that everybody wants their life to mean something.
I believe in the Cherokee birth blessing, which is “May you live long enough to know why you were born.” I do believe that you literally wanna blow a hole through this world in whatever way you can.A lot of people don’t know how to do that.A lot of people haven’t found that thing that they’re passionate about, that they can do.Some have.
But we all are looking for that, blowing a hole through this earth before we leave it.I think about that in my work a lot.I really found that thing that I love to do.So I always wanna make it meaningful.
You can feel that when listening to you read the audiobook.There’s that passion throughout your work that’s always there with you.How did you make sure that you punched that hole in the world with the audiobook, specifically? Well, my briefing to myself was to be honest with my voice with each chapter, to match my heartbeat with my voice; to not make it feel formal.I always feel that when one is honest, words leap off of the page and they really enter someone’s soul.
When you speak from the soul, people receive it in their soul.I really wanted that, which sometimes is very difficult when you’re reading an entire book that’s over 300 pages.You get tired.But I have to say, I wrote most of the book at 2, 3 o’clock in the morning.That’s when inspiration hit me.That’s also the hormone reset time.[Laughs.] But I wrote it at that hour because things would hit my spirit.I really, really do believe that when it comes to artistic excellence — and this is not my ego saying it, it’s a general statement — when it comes to things that are just good, they always have to move you.
You cannot stay in your head and admire something from afar, the technical aspects and proficiency of it, the technical execution of it.It’s got to hit your heart.And once it does that, you cannot downplay that value.That is what we are supposed to do as artists.And that was what I wanted to hit when I was doing the audiobook.Three o’clock in the morning is, I suppose, a time when you can get out of your own way.Absolutely.Your book showed that, and the story flows without impediment.
But it must have been difficult at times to not have another actor to bounce off of.I’m so curious about how you’ve trained yourself as an artist to ensure you can still deliver a powerful performance in the audio booth.It’s a wonderful question.Listen, I’m always an actor in search of a director.I got my Equity card at 23.That’s when I became a professional actress.That’s 34 years ago.
I have put in my 10,000 hours.[Laughs.] I cannot tell you how many speaking gigs I’ve had.I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had performances where there was a director, but they weren’t very good so I had to direct myself.Then there’s my undergraduate degree, my degree from Julliard, as well as other schools where you learn a way of working.That’s what being an artist is about.
Being an artist is not getting up and making the bold statement: I wanna be an actor.Yes, I did say that, but the step in between is learning a process, learning how to warm up your voice, learning what to emphasize, learning what the main thought is, how to breathe, what exactly you are saying and what the journey is.I ask myself all of those big questions.If I did not have a process, I don’t know, maybe I’d just be an entertainer.But I went to school to learn a process and it serves me when I am in a situation where there is no director other than the guy running the sound booth.You have to just check yourself.
That process clearly helped ground you in the performance, but at the same time you’re almost re-embodying your own past and experiences.Were you conscious of that as you were performing? Or was it more of a natural process? Sometimes both.It is my story, so I know where I was at each moment — at the beginning, running as a 6-year-old little girl, being called ugly Black n—.Here’s the thing, no matter what I wrote on the page, there are not enough words and pages to quantify one’s life.As much as I remember, it only represents 30 percent of who I was.A huge part of what I was just still exists somewhere.
Some memories were just lost.Some memories I just couldn’t even interpret.But when I’m speaking them, there is a sort of backstory stream of consciousness, of emotional elements, that could not even be put on the page but can inform the words when I speak them.It’s my life.My heartbeat.And at the same time, there is a technical aspect of it because you have to speak it in a way that people receive it.
They have to understand phrases, pauses, those technical things, but for the most part I spoke from my heart because the story was birthed in my heart.The mere existence of the book is proof of concept for the hope that exists in its pages, the hope that cycles of trauma and suffering can be broken through healing.How does it feel to know that that hope will impact readers? As an artist, you have similarly chosen roles that have really impacted people, so it must be a guiding principle for you.It feels fantastic.I started out being an actor because it was the one thing I loved to do and I knew that it would get me out of my situation.
But sometimes, it is divine intervention with what you choose in life.
I was just driven to get out, and I found something that just made me jump out of bed in the morning.Sometimes when you fall in love with something, the reason why you fall in love with it becomes your purpose, which in this case is it helped heal me.It was almost like everything that happened in my life created this giant emotional cyst within me and I couldn’t rein it in.It was just being fed by just holding onto secrets, holding onto shame, holding onto feeling not worthy.And then all of a sudden, whenever you’re given a chance to express what is inside of you, to put your story out there, showing up as Viola, it slowly began to drain that cyst.That then provides extraordinary healing to people who are witnessing it.
I’ve had so many people read my book, and I so appreciate it.More than even my acting, I’m really, really enjoying this whole experience with my book.But I find there’s one thing that I wanna say to people, but I don’t say, but in the back of my mind is my fantasy.There are so many people that read my book and say, “Oh my God, you’ve had a hard life.It’s so unbelievable what you were able to accomplish.Oh my God.
It was so hard.It was harder than anything I’ve been through.” I always wanna say, “That’s not why I wrote the book.I shared my story, now I want you to share yours.” I’m not the only one moving through life with all of the sticks and stones and filthy swill and obstacles.We all have it because life is hard.
But the other side of it is not sharing.Then what you do is you abandon people.You make them feel alone.We’re not alone.
I’ve had people read my book who I know have been abused by their spouses, who I know have been in jail for substance abuse, who I know have addiction issues.
And they’ve said, “Wow, your life was hard.” Well, their life was too.But you see, what I did was I unpacked it.I resolved it.
I continue to resolve it and continue to not live in shame, to make peace with myself.That’s a larger conversation.
It makes me feel so wonderful when people say “Your book has shifted people.” That for me is everything.Speaking about the potential impact to shift people, it’s incredible to look at your fellow nominees in the category.
You’ve got Mel Brooks , who’s obviously an EGOT winner himself.You’ve got three other people of color: Lin-Manuel Miranda , Questlove , Jamie Foxx .How powerful is it for you to see that your own story is sharing the category with these nominees? It feels overwhelming.They say everything you are is the company you keep.Being with that level of excellence? I have to say, I’ve always wanted to be excellent.And I understand that in the path to be excellent, there’s lots of failures along the way.There has to be.It’s how you chisel yourself.
It’s how you become.But to be in the presence of these extraordinary artists — all men too by the way [laughs] — it makes me feel like I’m on the right path.Meet The First-Time GRAMMY Nominee: GAYLE On The Real-Life Pain Behind “abcdefu,” Nashville Beginnings And Taylor Swift Graphic: The Recording Academy news The Recording Academy Partners With Top Brands For The 2023 GRAMMYs The Recording Academy has announced that IBM, Google Pixel, Mastercard, GREY GOOSE, Amazon Music, JBL, City National Bank, United Airlines, Hilton, People, Frontera, FIJI Water, and SiriusXM will serve as the official partners for the 2023 GRAMMYs.The Recording Academy has announced that IBM, Google Pixel, Mastercard, GREY GOOSE, Amazon Music, JBL, City National Bank, United Airlines, Hilton, People, Frontera, FIJI Water, and SiriusXM will serve as the official partners for the 2023 GRAMMYs .”The GRAMMY is the music industry’s highest honor, so it’s only fitting that we have the world’s top brands partnering with us for this year’s GRAMMY Awards,” Adam Roth, Senior Vice President of Partnerships & Business Development at the Recording Academy, said.”These brands truly support the Academy’s mission of celebrating excellence in the recording industry and protecting music’s place in our culture.
