Mariah Carey Pop Music CD Review

Mariah Carey is the latest release from Pop Star Mariah Carey, and is another great one from this talented musician.

Mariah Carey launches with a great track, Vision Of Love, that I suspect will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It really is a very nice track.

Mariah Carey is a pleasantly varied, mix of 11 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly superb artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are her own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

If you’re even mildly into Pop music you’ll enjoy this CD. Overall Mariah Carey is an a great release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

While the entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 – There’s Got To Be A Way, track 9 – Sent From Up Above, and track 11 – Love Takes Time

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Vision Of Love. What a nice track!
