Grammy-winning and best-selling female recording artist of all time Mariah Carey will celebrate the 30th anniversary of her third studio album, "Music Box," this fall. The celebration will include the release of new unreleased tracks, mixes, live audio, and remastered audio with "My Prayer," "Hero (2009 Version)," "Anytime You Need A Friend (Extended Mix)," and "Music Box (Acapella)." A remastered version of "Mariah Carey Live at Proctor's Theatre" will also be released. Carey will release a mini documentary behind-the-scenes of "Dreamlover," which will also be released in 4k. Mariah Carey's "Music Box: Then & Now" celebration will begin on September 8. "I’ll never forget creating this record, fully immersing myself in the music that would change my life and connect me with YOU, the lambily, in a way that bonded us forever," Carey said in a social media post.
The titular "Mimi" of The Emancipation of Mimi is, by all accounts, an alter ego of Mariah, a persona that captures Carey's true feelings and emotions. In case you didn't know what "emancipation" means, Mariah helpfully provides a dictionary definition of the word in the opening pages of the liner notes for her eighth proper album: it means "to free from restraint, control, oppression, or the power of another" or "to free from any controlling influence" or "to free somebody from restrictions or conventions." So, on The Emancipation of Mimi, Mariah frees herself from the constraints of being herself, revealing herself to be well, somebody that looks startlingly like Beyoncé, if the cover art is any indication.
This extremely impressive debut is replete with smooth-sounding ballads and uplifting dance/R&B cuts. Carey convincingly seizes many opportunities to display her incredible vocal range on such memorable tracks as the popular "Vision of Love" (featured during her television debut on The Arsenio Hall Show, an appearance noted by many as her formal introduction to stardom), the energetic "Someday," and the moody sounds of the hidden treasure "Vanishing." With this collection of songs acting as a springboard for future successes, Carey establishes a strong standard of comparison for other breakthrough artists of this genre.
"Mariah is the kind of band that moves from sharp, dissonant modern classical to anthemic hard rock to laid-back fusion to a bunch of other styles like it's no big deal. Like, to the point where I'm reminded of early Mr. Bungle. Speaking of Mariah, Carrie. It is common real music fans to answer so. But when I hear Mariah, it is the perfect music nerd that reminds me of Yasuaki Shimizu, Masanori Sasasuji, Hideo Yamaki. But I take the initiative to address this blog is possibly a daughter of a maniac? What? … So, the 80's J-Fusion's name group, Mariah's representative album "YEN TRICKS" and "AUSCHWITZ DREAM (Auschwitz Dream)" are the next group of Cassiopeia, T-Square, Prism, Parachute, It was relapsed with jacket specification"

Mariah Carey claims Rainbow, her first album since divorcing Tommy Mottola, "chronicles my emotional roller coaster ride of the past year," but less subjective listeners could be forgiven for viewing it as simply another Mariah Carey album. After all, all the elements are in place – the crossover dance hits, the ballads, the cameos, the hip producers, the weird cover choice from the early '80s. But dig a little deeper, and her words ring true. Rainbow is the first Carey album where she's written personal lyrics, and allusions to her separation from Mottola are evident throughout the album, even if it doesn't really amount to the "story" she mentions in the liner notes.
