African Giant Mary J. Blige has had many successful albums, but her second album, My Life, is the most important to her. She sees it as the moment she started speaking to her fans and its significance stretches beyond music. “I have 13 albums, but my second, My Life, is my most important,” she says in a new documentary commemorating the LP, originally released in 1994.
Blige spoke about why she decided to make the documentary. “I wanted to show people that no matter what you go through in life, you can make it,” she said. “You can be successful and happy if you keep your head up and stay focused.”
