Mariah
Carey
The
biggest-selling solo female artist of the '90s is back
|
| Carey is right back to
her old tricks; cooing trademark melismatic spirals through sexy, beat-heavy
hits. Mariah
doesn't really need an introduction, but it's hard to resist. Mariah is
legend in her own time - already selling well over 120 million albums and
scoring the top spot with over a dozen Number One singles! Her list of
Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, Soul Train Awards and more could
fill pages. But sales and honours are merely the results - the bottom line
is talent. Mariah does not ride off in a silver coach. Instead, she continues
to work hard. |

Merry
Christmas
She's been hailed for her multi
octave vocal range--a tool that sometimes detracts from her pop recordings,
but actually works quite beautifully in the context of this charming holiday
collection.
Fans will surely approve
of Carey's renditions of slinky secular songs like "Christmas (Baby, Please
Come Home)" and a nicely subdued "All I Want for Christmas Is You." But
where she really surprises is in her unadorned delivery of a passel of
traditional carols, highlighted by "Silent Night" (which she sings quietly,
avoiding the temptation to wail those high notes) and "Jesus, Oh What a
Wonderful Child." A must for diehards, and a pleasant surprise for the
unconverted. |

The
Emancipation of Mimi
|
|
Mariah Carey returns strong,
proud and super confident with her brand new release The Emancipation of
Mimi!
Early buzz on The Emancipation
of Mimi predicted that this would be the disc to mark "the return of the
voice"--the voice being that glass-shattering instrument that propelled
Carey to bestselling female artist of all time status--and mostly it is.
But because of the small army of talent involved in its assembly, the album
is way more than just a comeback vehicle. |
