  1. Spin Cycle

    Pulling it all together is her beautifully rough voice, which has grown more precise without losing any of its raw, bluesy power.
  2. Entertainment Weekly
    100
    The multiproducer arrangements are expansive yet warm, and Blige's pushy rasp has never sounded better.
  3. New York Magazine (Vulture)
    20
    More than ever, Blige's harmonious state just isn't an interesting place to be: Songs like "Beautiful Day" and "Flying Away" express exuberance of the rainbows-and-flowers variety. Miserable, Blige can be penetrating and profound; happy, she comes off generic and bland.

    Love it more each time I listen. Fills me with emotion. Sometimes it fits too well with my mood. Scary. She is something else.
