Nov 20, 2018A neat album of only 10 tracks. We find her in life-admin mode, clearing out any dispensable trash that she no longer has time or the inclination for. ... Sublime.
-
Nov 16, 2018On her 15th studio album, the breezy, pleasingly defiant Caution, she finds a freshness that’s been missing from her recent material.
-
Nov 20, 2018On Caution, she is still doing it better than most of her students, and sounds more comfortable than she has in quite a while.
-
Nov 16, 2018An honest album, full of truths and delivered as only she can.
-
Nov 16, 2018No songs are highly energized, but Carey sounds like she's deriving joy from each one.
-
Nov 16, 2018With tracks produced by Timbaland, Skrillex and DJ Mustard, Carey duly pays homage to the sounds prevalent at different stages of her career whilst remaining fresh and contemporary.
-
Nov 26, 2018She’ll employ of-the-moment producers to add current touches to her tracks, but the way she uses them on Caution results in her fine-tuning her aesthetic, not bending to current playlist-friendly trends.

Nov 15, 2018Caution feels like the album Mariah has wanted to make all along: one that literally throws caution to the wind and sees her embracing her inner weirdo. And, ironically, it took her ending up back at Sony Music to do it.

Nov 26, 2018Previously, Mariah Carey has made it clear that she’s been through too much to care what anyone else thinks, shrugging off critics and denying all drama. On Caution, Carey has channeled that energy into the music itself.
