The album 'My World' was released in March 1993 by Warner Bros. Records. It marked Ray Charles's return to studio recording after several years focused on touring and special projects. The record featured production by multiple producers, including Richard Perry and Phil Ramone, and blended R&B, soul, and contemporary pop styles.
The album included notable collaborations, such as the song 'My World' featuring saxophonist David Sanborn, and 'I'll Be There' with country singer Reba McEntire. The production was varied, with contributions from Arif Mardin and Narada Michael Walden, reflecting Charles's intention to reach a broad audience without losing his musical essence.
Although it did not achieve the massive success of his earlier works, 'My World' received positive reviews for Charles's vocal vitality and the quality of the arrangements. The album peaked at number 145 on the Billboard 200 chart and number 45 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. It was his last original studio album for Warner Bros. before his death in 2004.
