What’s notable about the album is its inclusion of strategic interludes. The album itself is nearly two hours of listening to Blige’s bittersweet nostalgia and is an auditory trip back in time, even for those of us who weren’t alive to experience the songs the first time around in ’94. In her 2020 rerelease, My Life (Deluxe/Commentary Edition), Blige mingles the details of her creative process with the songs themselves. Blige, which can be generally categorized as danceable and upbeat, My Life is teeming with soul and melancholy, a musical manifestation of Blige’s battle with depression and an abusive relationship. It was only 26 years ago that the queen of hip-hop/soul released her breakthrough album My Life to the world.
