Reviews Customer Reviews for Butterfly      the only brilliant album of mariah      Rating:       This is, in my opinion, the only brilliant album from mariah carey. if you don't know which album from her to buy, don't hesitate, this is the one. Here you will be able to listen to fantastic R&B and hip-hop songs never released in single, such as "the roof" and "babydoll". one of the most interessting songs that you will definately fall in love with is "the beautiful ones", originatelly released in the album purple rain, from prince. In this record mariah manages to sing in her own way in a duet with trey mantaining arrengements that makes you recall "purple rain". Sad, beautiful and brilliant are the words to describe this album.

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.
