Blige Opens Up On Learning To Celebrate Her Successes: ‘It’s Peace Of Mind’ “Real Love”, released in 1992, was Blige’s first single to make it into the Billboard Top 10, and has continued to be one of her more enduring, iconic songs. “In the coming-of-age romantic drama Real Love, Kendra sets off on her own for the first time to a college in upstate New York, determined to focus on her studies,” reads the plot synopsis. “But when she meet’s her film class partner Ben, she tries her hardest to keep things professional.
Despite disapproving parents, financial hardship, and competition for the top spot in class, Kendra and Ben find themselves falling hard for each other and ultimately learn the meaning of real love.” The movie will feature the song “Real Love”, as well as more music from Blige’s catalog. “I wrote ‘Real Love’ based on my real life experiences and my fans connected to it in a deeply personal way,” Blige said in a statement. “It’s exciting to now use this song and my music to create a new story by way of film, continuing to build on a pillar of the foundation of my production company, Blue Butterfly.
