this made my heart melt. for all those who don’t know, mary j blige’s 2nd studio album, ‘my life’ carried me through the toughest times of my life. i was young and i was just learning about the complexities of relationships and that album just supported all of my feelings at the time. i related [...]

"i work hard, i play hard. i love life so much that i never give up. im also into music and clothes and shoes and fashion and everything jay-z and celebrity gossip and taking pictures and flirting on blackberry messenger and making mixtapes and reading blogs and balancing life and coming up with new words and hanging out with friends and looking at my booty in the mirror and traveling and dressing up and singing in the shower and kissing boys and drinking cliqot in cute champagne glasses. i had my last blog hacked into, i don't know why, i wasn't that popular and never said much then. its a new blog now. join me." *kisses* ~lissa

this made my heart melt.
for all those who don’t know, mary j blige’s 2nd studio album, ‘my life’ carried me through the toughest times of my life. i was young and i was just learning about the complexities of relationships and that album just supported all of my feelings at the time. i related to every verse, every chorus, i cried when mary cried, i hurt when mary hurt…im just so emotionally attached.so when i saw this tribute of amazing male singers covering songs off of that album, i just HAD to download.

this amazing lady  over at the inner soul described this tribute best:

My Life was about Mary’s relationship with one man, and now many men have reinterpreted these songs in an effort to pay tribute to an artist who has given us so much of herself. As a culture, we do a great job of paying tribute to our stars posthumously. Men Love Mary: A Tribute to My Life is an opportunity to celebrate our Queen and let her know how much she means to us and to music. This is our chance to honor her and give her flowers while she’s still here, and we’re sharing the bouquet with her adoring fans.

download the EP HERE and enjoy these new renditions of some of your favorites from My Life.

LISTEN to TL Cross’s rendition of “You Gotta Believe”
