Album Notes & Community Reviews
Executive produced by a young Sean 'Puffy' Combs, this phenomenal debut effectively crowned Blige as the 'Queen of Hip-Hop Soul'. Seamlessly merging the gritty, sample-heavy beats of East Coast hip-hop with soaring, deeply emotive R&B vocal performances, the record permanently altered the trajectory of 1990s urban contemporary music.
