Mary J. Blige - Growing Pains [12/18] — 

MJB's latest album, "Growing Pains", has the makings of a classic as we hear Mary J. Blige like you never heard her before but in then again...you probably have.

Blige keeps herself truth to her music and love to tell her life in her songs as she goes from one track to the next without stopping, which makes the album itself worth listening to from start to finish.

A cameo from Ludacris brings out another head banger in the way of 'Grown Woman', which makes the world take noticed that she isn't the same woman from the Uptown records days.

As always, Blige connects to her fans in songs like 'Work In Progress' and 'Roses' which brings out the rawness in Blige as well as the newness of her handling different and most interesting beats to her songs.

Overall, the album brings out the very best in Mary J. Blige that many of her fans already knew was there.  And to those who have never heard her, this will be a grand example of how grown she is now and how powerful her music has become to date.
