Free Music Notes for Mariah Carey

Free Music Review: The voice of an angel.
Hit: 5 Stars

Mariah Carey's debut, released nearly 20 years ago (it doesn't seem like she's been around that long) was one of the most successful albums of the year. The public was amazed at her singing, and radio played her songs repeatedly. Nowadays, with her albums being on a hit-or-miss rating system, it is hard to remember that for a while, it seemed she could do no wrong. But one listen of this debut, and you'll see why people thought so.

"Vision of Love"- Her very first hit song, and it is easy to hear why. Fabulous soulful singing that she has yet to surpass, the song can really give you chills. A

"There's Got to Be a Way"- A very catchy and moving song about making the world a better place. It could have been a huge hit if released, but even so, it is one of the best songs on the album. A

"I Don't Wanna Cry"- This song went to #1 as well as 3 others on the album, though I cannot understand why. This is a song meant to be filler, as it isn't very catchy, they lyrics are not particularly interesting, and her vocals are pretty average. C+

"Someday"- A fun, albeit more dated song on the album. It sounds good, and is the type of song that's fun to sing to on the radio, but at the same time, it also sounds like a song Paula Abdul would have done. B-

"Vanishing"- It is filler, and there's no way around it, but it still is a nice track. Gospel meets torch song, it is pretty good. B

"All in Your Mind"- Another nice song, which could have had success if released as a single, but as an album track, it's still very nice. A-

"Alone in Love"- A great background song, this is very relaxing and soothing. Shows that Mariah could sing well even if she did not hit super high notes. A-

"You Need Me"- Not my favorite song, but catchy and danceable at any rate. Great personality shown in the singing. B

"Sent Up From Above"- This feels a lot like a song Sade would have recorded, but Mariah still makes it her own. It's very beautiful. A

"Prisoner"- An okay track. I have to say it is very easy to laugh at at times, especially at the times when Mariah raps. Yes, you read correctly. This track has probably aged the worst out of all of them on this release. C

"Love Takes Time"- A lovely, moving song, and a nice way to end the album. Will definitely strike a chord with those getting over a break-up. A

This is not the easiest album of Mariah Carey's to consider flawless, since it has a dated early-90s adult contemporary sound to a lot of it. But even so, this has aged like fine wine, putting it up there with Whitney Houston's debut as one of the greatest soul albums ever. Every Mariah Carey fan will want this, as it is still one of her best releases.
