Amazon Originals has unveiled the trailer for its upcoming documentary, Mary J. Blige’s My Life.
The documentary will take viewers on a journey with the nine-time Grammy winner Mary J. Blige including her early days growing up in Yonkers, New York, to meeting Sean “Diddy” Combs, who executive-produced her 1994 Grammy-nominated sophomore album, My Life, under Uptown Records.
“Nobody sounds like her,” says Diddy in the trailer, while before I Can Do Bad All by Myself co-star Taraji P. Henson adds that Mary “made it OK for people to say it’s all right to be me.” R&B powerhouseAlicia Keys also appears in the trailer.
The documentary also features clips from Mary’s music videos and past shows, taking a deep dive into the life of the queen of hip-hop and R&B.
“My Life is probably my darkest albums at one of the darkest times I’ve had,” Mary admits in the trailer. “Most of the time, I was depressed and didn’t want to live. I had it all inside, and I was able to sing it and write it, but I didn’t know so many people felt the same way.”
Mary J. Blige’s My Life, from award-winning filmmaker and executive producer Vanessa Roth, arrives June 25.
