EMOTIONS, the 1991 chart-topping release from dance/pop chanteuse Mariah Carey, showed the world that she would have no sophomore slump. With her knack for writing hit material, Carey turned out a few smashes off of this release. The title cut was #1 on the Billboard chart for three weeks. Mariah sings her heart out on the power ballad "Can't Let Go," which went to #2 in early '92. Her distinctive multi-octave range allows her to manipulate casual dance/pop melodies, making them soar.
Industry Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - ...EMOTIONS is a technically perfect example of mainstream R&B....sashays with the customary elegance of a multi-million dollar production, and Carey's pipes are...in fine fettle...
Q (10/01/1999)
Performance Fine singing / Recording Very good - ...the lustrous texture of her voice, with its appealingly breathy quality, is enough to invite attention, but it is her startling high notes, far beyond the range of most vocalists, that inspire awe...
Stereo Review (01/01/1992)
...technically impressive and impassioned pop-gospel singing. Few vocalists in any musical genre have voices as flexible as Ms. Carey's nearly four-octave instrument...
