The Emancipation Of Mimi
“Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today we revisit Mariah Carey’s triumphant comeback, an album that captured the zeitgeist of 2000s R&B and resurrected a pop icon.”
The Rarities
“The Rarities is the newest testament to Mariah Carey’s legendary artistry”
Here For It All
“Mariah Carey has had the privilege to not care about making new music for a while now. The pop icon has built such a towering legacy over the course of her phenomenal career: 19 Billboard Hot 100 Number ones, six Grammys, and a catalogue that’s influenced an entire generation of artists from Adele to Ariana Grande. The elusive chanteuse could hang up her mic now, but she’s back again with her 16th”
Caution
“The strong LP is highlighted by sassy love songs and a softer delivery.”
Daydream
“On 1995’s Daydream, the spectacular pop vocalist fine-tuned her songcraft. The album redrew the boundaries of what a Mariah Carey song—and a pop song—was supposed to sound like.”
Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse
“Mariah Carey's 13th album, Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse, comes on the heels of her most trying period since the infamous Glitter bomb of 13 years ago. The record seemingly acknowledges her increasingly murky future by looking back at loves and sounds of the past.”
