MARY was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album. "All That I Can Say" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and for Best R&B Song. "Don't Waste Your Time" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.
The queen of hip-hop soul, Mary J. Blige, returned with her third album, MARY, at a time when R&B was experiencing a surge in popularity. Blige collaborates with numerous producers and songwriters like Lauryn Hill ("All That I Can Say"), Babyface ("Don't Waste Your Time," which also features vocals from Aretha Franklin and Soulshack), and Karlin ("Time") to bring a more expansive sonic recipe to her music.
MARY is a dynamic, intricately arranged album that gives the singer a softer, more melodic sound than her tougher hip-hop sound of the early '90s. "Beautiful Ones" (produced by Chucky Thompson), "Not Lookin'" (a duet with K-Ci Hailey), and "The Love I Never Had" (produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis) are standout tracks.
