I have been recently introduced to the latest Mariah Carey CD. I must admit that I have been extremely disappointed by her music in recent years...so much so, that I assumed she was heading down the Whitney Houston road and could no longer hit her trademark high notes. The Emancipation of Mimi was a pleasant surprise, and proved that she can in fact still sing as well as she could when Vision of Love was released.
Mariah has returned to her strengths. Unlike most singers, she does not build up to that one big high note intended to blow everyone away. In fact, Mariah nails a high note, listeners go "Wow that was awesome, I'm impressed," and then she goes even higher, knocking our socks off. It takes amazing talent to go where no other artists have gone before, and Mariah succeeds here... Furthermore, this album clearly demonstrates that her multi-platinum days are far from over. I number We Belong Together among my favorite Mariah songs. Give it a listen if you have a chance!
Note to self: Get mom a copy of this CD for her birthday.
