Dec 1, 2014The result is her most vital album in years, one that not only carves out a niche for her in contemporary dance music but also digs deeply into her gospel and soul-ballad roots.
-
Dec 4, 2014The London Sessions just happens to have her best round of songs, productions, and performances since The Breakthrough.
-
MojoDec 17, 2014While The London Sessions takes her in fresh new directions, Blige's own identity remains the dominant flavour. [Jan 2015, p.98]
-
Dec 1, 2014Structural issues aside, the strength of the material on The London Session is enough to place the Queen back on track to relevance, after a number of less-inspired efforts had all but sapped her career momentum.
-
Dec 15, 2014Blige’s enthusiasm is most powerful on Follow.
-
Dec 2, 2014Too much of The London Sessions is given over to frisky house tracks like “Follow” and “Nobody But You,” which don’t hit nearly as hard as the rest, but Blige has maintained her fierce authority throughout.
-
Dec 3, 2014Too often does this Mary J. Blige record not actually feel like a Mary J. Blige record, and compounding that fundamental issue is the mere reality that so many of these songs piggyback the hottest genre of music in the world right now.

May 18, 2018Just a beautiful album full of new sounds and emotions poured into it. She brought my soulful house music to R&B back.
