Love Is All We Need
[2] During the production of her next album Share My World, Combs' absence was filled with a bevy of high-profile producers, such as duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.The end result produced songs that were less entrenched in the hip hop soul of her first two albums, and replaced with a style that was more aligned with R&B, revealing a softer side and noticeably lighter mood of Blige who had made a concerted effort to clean up her life after experiencing clinical depression, while also battling drug and alcohol addiction."[5] Jonathan Bernstein from Entertainment Weekly noted "the exultant way Blige reacts to the whomping drums, vast chorus, and wide-screen production Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis cook up" on "Love Is All We Need"."[7] Billboard editor Larry Flick called "Love Is All We Need" a "hit-bound jam that, once again, elevates [Blige] miles above the ever-growing pack of wannabes gunning for her throne."[8] Music Week rated the song three out of five, describing it as a "lively, funky track featuring rapper Nas and a tasty Rick James sample."[10] Alexis Petridis, writing for The Guardian, remarked: "A booming, dense production by Jam & Lewis, a feature from Nas in his imperial phase [...] a killer hook, Blige on commanding form.
