    i LOVE this cd. it's definately one of mary's best. the thing i love most about mary is that she puts her heart and soul into everything she sings. we hear a HAPPY mary on Love & Life. Here's another one to remind us (as if we could forget) why mary j blige is the Queen of R & B!

    'Love & Life' suggests "the queen of hip-hop soul" is truly now at the top of her game.

    It's the songs of sadness and anger that work best.... But her club-anthem ambitions fall short here. [Oct 2003, p.180]

    It's an easy listen, enjoyable on the surface with deeper meanings you're willing to dig.
