Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: "I'm talkin' 'bout things I know," Mary J. Blige wails on "Work That," the second single and opening track of Growing Pains. The album squeaked into 2007 too late to make best-of lists but otherwise would have stormed its way up several, for sure. She needn't have hit us with such a pronouncement: In 16 songs that ring as remarkably, unflinchingly true as those on 2005's landmark The Breakthrough, the queen of hip-hop soul keeps "keeping it real" a specialty. There's no sense in trying to assign credit for the skin-tight grooves and funked-up retro vibe here; with nine producers padding Blige's emotion-rich voice and the lyrics she so obviously lives by, what we're left with is a melange of sounds. But it's a measure of an artist who has mastered her own identity and left nothing to chance that this, her eighth studio album, comes off so free of wild cards and loose edges. "You ask what love feels like," she sings on "What Love Is," one of the disc's less fierce tracks. "It feels like joy, and it feels like pain, and it feels like sunshine, and it feels like rain," she continues, answering the question. The album feels the same way, a passel of complex feelings all wrapped up in love. No one knows struggle, heartache, and triumph over mediocrity like Blige. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews
Mary is still Mary and I love her no Matter What
I love "If you Love Me." I love that song. That song talks about all the things a man need to do to retain the relationship.
I knew before I bought this album that it was not going to be her best but I bought it anyway because I'm a fan forever.
Just fine is a good song too if you really listen to the words. I listen to this song when I'm going to work and working out at the gym. Other than that, those are the only 2 songs I listen too. she is still the "Queen" and nobody can wear that crown the way she does!

Growing Pains
Very good CD. A good variety of music, some fast to dance to, some slow to mellow out with and some duets.

A Nice and Chill Album
This is Mary's best album, it brings something new and exciting with every song. Work That is a feel-good song definitely. Grown Woman has Ludacris rapping in it, and Mary toughens up for this song. Just Fine is where you can tell that Mary is feeling more than "Just Fine". Feel Like A Woman has a nice beat, and it sounds like a slowed-down club song. Stay Down has yet another great new beat, and an amazing chorus. Hurt is a more somber song off of this album. Mary and Usher are awesome together in Shake Down. Till The Morning is my favorite, and it has an amazing beat to back up her amazing voice. Roses has a very clever chorus. Fade Away has nice piano instrumentation in the background. What Love Is has a soft beat to back up Mary's peaceful singing. Work In Progress (Growing Pains) reminds me of Love by Keyshia Cole, and is another one of my favorites. Talk to Me has a super-catchy chorus. If You Love Me? has a pretty beat. Smoke sounds like a song Mary would have done years ago. Come To Me (Peace) is a very chilled-out song. Overall this album is amazing! Very satisfied.

Good cd
This was another good cd. The breakthrough was the best, but this was a job well done.
