"Dreamlover" was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female in the 36th Annual Grammy Awards.

"Hero" was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female in the 37th Annual Grammy Awards.

Mariah Carey's ascension to the top of the charts is an affirmation of her deep affection for the roots of popular music, to wit, gospel and R&B. She's not the first pop vocalist to find commercial and artistic bliss in black music, but her efforts are among the most heartfelt and convincing. And with the surehanded support of contemporary music's most creative producers and songwriters, Carey has developed a smooth, brassy sound signature all her own.

What makes it all happen is that luminous, vaulting voice, one of the surest most impassioned instruments in all of pop, capable of leaps in register most vocalists can't even imagine, yet alone execute. Her dark ornaments and trilling upper register cries on "Dream Lover" make this plain. On power pop ballads like "Hero" and "Anytime You Need A Friend"--with their gospelish "To dream the impossible dream/The greatest love of all" cadences--Carey's over-the-top expressive range sparks these arrangements to one emotional catharsis after another.

It is Carey's new found restraint--reining in her voice to suit the emotional fabric of each tune--that marks her growing maturity. The lush understatement of her singing and Walter Afanasieff's charts on the title tune, allow the tender grace of the song's lyrics to shine through--without superfluos vocal acrobatics. Ultimately it's Carey's reserves of vocal power, barely constrained on "Never Forget You" (with Babyface), that brings her fans back time and again.

Engineers: Dana Jon Chappelle, David Gleeson, Manny LaCarrubba.

Rolling Stone (10/28/93, p.76) - 3 Stars - Good - "...Every song on MUSIC BOX, an album dominated by huge soaring ballads, has been written and arranged as a potential home run...a sustained passion enhances the record's wedding-album feel...."
Q (2/02, p.120) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Loaded with big sentiments and notes that only dogs can fully appreciate, this 1993 celebration of the all-conquering power of love was her defining moment..."
Musician (11/93, p.88) - "...This isn't the flashiest singing she's done, but it's better for its restraint..."

5 stars One of Mariah's bests.
Mariah Carey used to be my crush back in 93-96. I loved her so much. In 97 she started to turn ugly, then in 99 I was heartbroken by her looks. This album is so awesome though. Mariah Carey is gifted, she was born with a great talent; the talent is her voice.

One of Mariah's best albums.22 million copies sold all over the world prove it.There are some excellent mid-tempo songs,like Dreamlover,Now that I know, and the incredible I've been thinking about you.But also great ballads,such as Anytime you need a friend (gospel style),Music Box,and the brilliant All I've ever wanted, which is one of Mariah's best vocal performances ever. Buy it,you won't be dissappointed at all.

Mariah Carey CD  (1990)

Music Box
CD $7.59  4.8 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
It was clear early on in her recording career that Long Island's own Mariah Carey possessed a rare combination of qualities that would make her special. She had a commanding voice, an uncanny ear for a hit, commanding stage presence and an effervescent personality. She was, in short, an American pop diva just waiting to be discovered. When her eponymous 1990 debut sold more than 12 million copies, it was clear Carey would become the pop queen she'd always dreamed she'd be. From the doo-wop-influenced opening track "Vision of Love" to the sweet, last-dance ballad "Love Takes Time," Carey's debut was one of biggest-selling ...

Mariah Carey Daydream CD  (1995)

Music Box
CD $7.45  4.6 stars Top 100 Audio Samples Definitive Album
All songs co-written by Mariah Carey except "Open Arms" (S. Perry/J. Cain). Samples included "Genius Of Love" (as performed by Tom Tom Club). DAYDREAM was nominated for 1996 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year and Best Pop Album. "One Sweet Day" was nominated for Record Of The Year and Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals; "Fantasy" was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance; and "Always Be My Baby" was nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. On DAYDREAM, Mariah Carey's singing expands the panorama of its emotional release--her voice, having been a strictly powerful pure instrument, now taking on the thespian strategies of great vocalists. She has added subtle understatement to her bag of tricks. On the hit single "Fantasy," a groovin' piece of soulful pop based on a sample of the Tom Tom Club's "Genius Of Love," the chorus layers generous helpings of her voice. But rather than featuring the high-pitched lead she's famous for, the vocal parts reflect off each other in penetrating harmony. When she ...

"Butterfly" was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. "Honey" was nominated for 1998 Grammy Awards for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song. A mature and contemplative Mariah Carey emerges as if from a chrysalis on her seventh album, displaying her now-familiar otherworldly vocal abilities tempered by a new restraint, as well as an infallible ear for irresistible rhythm-based, hook-laden music. BUTTERFLY's uptempo songs, including "Honey" and "Fly Away (Butterfly Reprise)," are flawlessly produced and catchy, and the title track ...

Mariah Carey #1'S CD  (1998)

Music Box
CD $9.75  4.8 stars Top 100 Audio Samples Definitive Album
This is a Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players. Blessed with a voice that covers more of a range than anyone this side of Minnie Riperton, and a knack for ingratiating, breezy pop/R&B, Mariah Carey became one of the premier pop divas of the '90s. For those who were hibernating during that decade, #1's lays it all out in an easily digestible format, presenting Carey's biggest and best under one roof. From the inspirational message of the poignant ballad "Hero" to the roots nod of "I'll Be There" (with impressive assistance from Trey Lorenz), it's clear that Carey has charisma to match her chops. On the infectious, almost giddy "Dream Lover" she voices her romantic desires so sweetly that the listener is moved by the urge to jump into the track on a white horse and whisk her off to ...

Looking to go down the vocal-diva-becomes-movie-star path blazed by Diana Ross, Madonna, and Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey teamed with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to executive produce the soundtrack to her film debut. Keeping with her character Billie, a struggling 1980s singer trying to break into the biz via the club scene, GLITTER has a handful of vintage dance covers given a modern twist. Chief among these interpretations are a vintage electro-funk ...
