May 29, 2014Carey’s back to adding her sparkly touch to summer-ready pop tunes.
-
May 20, 2014Contrary to its title, the new album may be Carey's least elusive work. Rarely has she made her talent more clear.
-
Jun 16, 2014The album sounds exactly, defiantly like Mariah, acknowledging her place in the pop ecosystem both implicitly and explicitly without chomping at the bit.

May 27, 2014What is unfortunately not elusive on the album are a clutch of interchangeable slow-to-midtempo tunes long on pulsating atmosphere--several with distractingly fidgety rhythmic tracks--but short on melody or verve.

Jun 9, 2014She needs great material and she needs star power. But this album doesn’t have great songs, and the only thing that’s changed shape more than an R&B hit in recent years is the definition of star power.
