Most of the songs are uptempo and the slower songs you will find towards end of the album. The opening song which is co-production by Akon has a spectacular beat. It is exciting. The One featuring Drake is exciting too with the dancehall rhythm. The dance vibrations continue in the songs "Said and Done" produced by Ryan Leslie, Good Love featuring T.I. and they really culminate in the party song "I Feel Good".

Almost every song Mary J Blige sings sounds good. The challenge for producers must be to give her the best songs and not the simple sing alongs. The song "I AM" is a nice uptempo love song and love from the hood Mary finds with Trey Songz in "Hood Love". Just like the bedroom the kitchen is known as a place for love affairs to happen. The message from Shirley Brown in "Woman To Woman" is the same message that Mary J Blige sends from the "Kitchen". The sweetest ballad on "Stronger withEach Tear" is "In The Morning". The crooners have to listen to "I can See In Color".(TA)
