Free Music Review: "It's just like honey..."
Hit: 4 Stars
Mariah Carey released her Butterfly album at an interesting time in her life. She had just gotten divorced from her record executive husband of 4 years, and used this album as a statement of her independence and the start of a new chapter in her life and career.
Her albums up to this point were of a more pop sounding, adult contemporary nature, and were receiving huge airplay on radio stations. This time around, Mariah Carey decided to add a more R&B sound to her music, which works well for her. It also compliments many of the strongest tracks on this album. "Honey" is the funnest track on the album, which is incredibly catchy, "Butterfly" has some of the better lyrics of Mariah's writing career, "Fourth of July," while a blantant knockoff of "Underneath the Stars" from her Daydream album, is peaceful and romantic, "Breakdown" is slow and moody, and finally, "Babydoll" is very funky and seductive.
Despite the album having some of Mariah's most atmospheric and sexy music of her 18 year (and counting) career, the album does have some major flaws. For one thing, the songs tend to sound the same after a while, making it seem longer than it needs to be. Her vocals, while still good, were also beginning to show a little wear-and-tear at this point too.
All and all, though, this is a great album to relax to and set a calming mood. The album has become of Mariah's most revered releases, and a few listens can make anyone see why.
Butterfly Poster
Carey's first post-divorce effort makes passing allusions to her ex-hubby (and label honcho) Tommy Mottola, but it doesn't dwell on them the way many similar projects do. Instead, Carey is right back to her old tricks; cooing trademark melismatic spirals through sexy, beat-heavy hits. Fans will dig the bedroom slink of "Baby Doll," the dripping "Honey" and the infectious title track (reprised, along with a bit of Elton John's "Skyline Pigeon," in "Fly Away"). The highlight is a duet with Dru Hill on Prince's "The Beautiful Ones," which just might be her most pointed commentary on Mottola. --Michael RubyThe second single & title track of her 1997 album.
