Summary of this CDs & Vinyl...
Charmbracelet is a truly contemporary album, swinging with the times, It is a hit-maker in its own unique way and proves to the music world that Mariah Carey always had it and always will. Not that she needed to prove anything, but if she did, she could do not better than the soulful, artistic, party-in-a-jewel case that is Charmbracelet.
Charmbracelet has a perfect mix of hip, 'happening' songs and slow groove ballads. This is definitely a more mature album, chronicling emotional and personal growth while showcasing Mariah's lyrical expertise and musical supremacy.
This type of CDs & Vinyl is good for...
Parties or just at home fun and if you're in a reflective mood, program the ballads, sit back and enjoy.
I especially liked...
MC's darling soulful version of Def Leppard's 'Bringin' on the heartbreak'. This one will cause you to sing along and belt it out with Mariah. It must be because I heard hers first that I prefer it to the original, or maybe it's because I am not a DL fan. I think MC's version does more credit to the beautiful lyrics and her voice is awesomely complemented by the musical arrangements for this cover version. DL's version has the typical guitar riffs of a rock song but not much more to recommend it because compared to MC's expressive voice they can not even come close to matching that kind of splendour so even though they sound alright they do no more. The music is what rescued them but with MC, she rescues the music to a higher plane of ecstasy and proves once again that she can sing anything and sound good doing it.
When I finished n/a this CDs & Vinyl I wanted to...
Listen again and again.
This CDs & Vinyl made me feel...
Like I sampled bits of the artist's soul and lived some of her experiences.
The n/a of this CDs & Vinyl...
Mariah Carey is a true contemporary musical genius with an extraordinary vocal prowess. She writes almost all the lyrics on her albums and produces a lot of her music as well in collaboration with other masters of the craft. She is unafraid to share the spotlight and often performs duets with other artists to create unique styles that are always a delight, one in particular is the record-breaking collabo with Boyz II Men entitled, One Sweet Day.
Her record-setting career began at the dawn of the nineties and by the year 2000, she had become one of the best-selling female acts of her time. Her charitable works are also an inspiration to many, the most popular one being the Fresh Air Fund and Camp Mariah a summer program for inner-city kids. Mariah explored her acting skills in recent years and earned critical acclaim for her part in the independent film, Wise Girls. She is currently on tour promoting her latest album, Charmbracelet and the critical reviews have been glowing.
I recommend this CDs & Vinyl because...
Mariah Carey's astounding vocals would be enough, but add to that an incredibly hip sound and a virtual tapestry of an album that never fails to delight the listener.
