Reliving the Splendor: Mariah’s nostalgic storytelling on Butterfly
Quote:
Arguably the most captivating tracks on Mariah Carey’s Butterfly are the trifecta of “The Roof,” “Fourth of July,” and “My All.” On each of these songs, Mariah showcases her lyrical prowess not solely through rhyme or clever lines, but rather through her superb and imagery laden storytelling. All three have one thing in common: she is yearning for a love she experienced in the past and is feeling nostalgic as she longs to experience it once more.
Whenever You Call is unexpectedly slaying me. Meaning I've now officially had every song on Butterfly do that for a period. Her smooth vocals are beautiful. Just noticed different layers as well. Dr Dre headset is a whole different experience
Edit: on vacation. Anything happen with the queen this past month? Haven't really paid attention to anything bar that turtle drag

I heard ABMB (Mr. Dupri Mix) on the radio yesterday. It surprised the hell out of me cause I thought it was "Tell Me If You Still Care" at first since they cut Da Brat's verse.

Lord! I have so many. I would love if she worked with Dev Hynes, Solange, and maybe Frank Ocean. I also would love a Diana Ross disco cover.
And I would simply adore if she promoted the album at all, went to BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, did a cover of Ed Sheeran's "Photograph" and got REAL!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES, she needs to work with Dev Hynes, just like the Queen of Pop Carly Rae Jepsen did. And an MC cover of Photograph will never happen but imagine if it did. I would I actually CRY, like 4real4real.
If it's Til The End Of Time... is it a Spanish version? I heard she recorded some Spanish versions of songs (Close My Eyes, Whenever You Call) that were never released that I know of
