    Tell me one reason not to love this album; among all these pop stupid records, there is still a star who can produce music of quality.
    This is her best since Breakthrough, congratulations to her.
    Really beautigul.

    This is a great album! Mary J. Blige did a great job with major producers and producers who are up in the UK. Really surprised me and got me hooked. Simply captivating and beautiful.

    Favorites tracks: "Not Loving You", "Whole Damn Year" & "Nothing But You".

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

    While The London Sessions takes her in fresh new directions, Blige's own identity remains the dominant flavour. [Jan 2015, p.98]

    Blige’s enthusiasm is most powerful on Follow.

    It’s a seamless and occasionally thrilling listen that establishes a fact many could have predicted: Blige’s throaty vocals, as passionate and emotional as ever, are an ideal fit for house music. Nonetheless the album doesn’t exactly play out how you might expect.
