On April 22, 1997, MCA Records (parent company to Uptown Records, which was in the process of being dismantled) released Blige’s third album, Share My World. By then, she and Combs had dissolved their working relationship. In his place were the Trackmasters, who executive-produced the project along with Steve Stoute. Sharing production duties were producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, R. Kelly, Babyface and Rodney Jerkins. The album was made at a time when Blige was trying to “get her life together”, by trying to overcome drugs and alcohol, as well as the ending of her relationship with Hailey. After an encounter with a person who threatened her life the previous year, she tried to quit the unhealthy lifestyle and make more upbeat, happier music. As a result, songs such as “Love Is All We Need” and “Share My World” were made. Share My World debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and spawned five hit singles: “Love Is All We Need” (featuring Nas), “I Can Love You” (featuring Lil’ Kim), “Everything”, “Missing You” (UK only) and “Seven Days” (featuring George Benson). In February 1997, Blige performed her hit at the time, “Not Gon’ Cry”, at the 1997 Grammy Awards, which gained her a third Grammy Award nomination, her first for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, as Blige was recording the follow-up to My Life. In early 1998, Blige won an American Music Award for “Favorite Soul/R&B Album”. That summer, she embarked on the Share My World Tour, which resulted in a Gold-certified live album released later that year, simply titled The Tour. The album spawned one single, “Misty Blue”.
