Jul 24, 2020This album is just not it.. It's her worst, some songs like 'The Art of Letting Go' kinda saved it but the album is still bad. Poor production and generic.

Jul 24, 2020This album offers a lot of Mariah’s good work. She is truly and incredibly talented. #Beautiful and You’re Mine are a bop!! The cover of George Michael’s One More Try is fantastic. A gospel song is included, Heavenly (No Ways Tired/Can’t Give Up Now). Gem? Yessssss, it’s the Art Of Letter Go

May 27, 2014Back in true form! Mariah is singing like she has not sung since "Butterfly" This album is very reminiscent of that album and I am so excited to listen to this album over and over.

May 27, 2014this is incredible. the album's two unabashedly uptempo ditties are also the forums for Mariah's most serious-minded performances, galaxies away from "loving you long time." "You Don't Know What to Do" is a stunning tribute to the soul-shouting piano gospel of Jocelyn Brown's "Somebody Else's Guy," with swirling disco swings turning Mariah herself into the calm, confident eye of a disco hurricane.

May 27, 2014Wow. What an album. Mariah is back and the album is pure Mariah. Amazing vocals, amazing use of featured guests and amazing production. Stand out tracks : Faded, you're Mine, meteorite, beautiful, you don't know what to do, thirsty, heavenly to name a few. This album reiterates why Mariah is the top selling and most successful female artist of all time. A+

May 27, 2014This album is really everything us lambs have been asking for for the past 5 years. It's been a long wait, but it's been completely worth it. This is Mariah's best effort since her 1997 Butterfly album. I'm truly impressed, and very happy with the result.

May 27, 2014Mariah is truly back to form. Gone are the gimmicks(except for thirsty), the catchy sounds for a quick hit. She's is really just doing what she does best, SINGING. Every song on this album has a meaning behind it and you can relate to the lyrics. Great album, great melodies and off cause great lyrics.

May 27, 2014One of her best albums of all career, proving that she can still do some great music. #Beautiful, Money, You Don't Know What You Do and Heavenly overtakes for complete her last two albuns and put her in another level that we didn't see since The Emancipation Of Mimi.

May 29, 2014This is indeed Carey's best album post Glitter! it even has more memorable jams than the Emancipation of Mimi and is her most solid work in years! Best Tracks are Dedicated, Faded, Thirsty, Heavenly, You Don't know what to do & Meteorite!
Next potential hits: You don't know what to do & Dedicated -
Jun 4, 2014We have been waiting for over 2 years now for an album and it was definitely worth the wait, Me I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse is true perfection. Almost every song is amazing. 9.510 REMARKABLE.

Jul 7, 2014She’s just a comfortable [singer], and that’s a good thing for her. She doesn’t need to be, nor should she ever be elusive. This album proves that in spades.
-
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.
-
Jun 9, 2014Even for all its collaborations, bringing in Mary J Blige and R Kelly, the desperate skirting around for identity leaves this album feeling underwhelming.
