In the dazzling segment of the “Christmas Pop”, the proverbial “Diva” has been taking on a dominant position for a long time. Your Las-Vegas-like shows with luxury slametta and gingerbread from Walmart are legend.
Mariah Carey has long left the modern Soul-R’n’B-Pop discourse. From Beyonce to Rihanna to Ariana Grande and the Um-20-year-olds; The English colleague Adele also belongs in this (Las-Vegas) Champions League.
So now the first studio album in seven years.
Still impressive voice
It offers that it can be revealed, a mixture of bright, synthetic beats and R&B, which reminds of beet herb from the Vorifel from their consistency. A sugar -sweet stuff. And ok, everyone admits that: their five octaves comprehensive voice is still impressive.
For the 16th studio album, the 56-year-old harvested mixed reviews in Great Britain and also in the United States, where pretty much all media were already at the start 10 minutes after the “Embargos” has been lifted.
Regardless of the evaluation of the “material”, most colleagues emphasize their largely intact voice. “A constant highlight itself on less convincing tracks,” says a review
“Here for it all” comes as a bubbling mix of classic ballads and a (very!) Carefully experimental sound.
Wust on synthetic elements
For this purpose, she brought Anderson. Paak to the yacht. But even when listening to the third, the placet predominates: smooth and catchy, a certain lack of disorientation and a custody of synthetic elements. In the meantime, a whole dozens of colleagues can better deal with this neo-modern collagen sound technology.
“I won’t allow it” is an airy, disco-inspired song that comes across the most fluffy in his “Studio-54” character. “Type Dangerous” works with a funky R&B on “toxic” relationships. Something like that seems to be part of the compulsory repertoire today. Motto: Somehow feminism always works.
The title track here for it all ”is a kind of musical keystone that begins as a ballad and ends in a coda-soaked coda. Not really bad, but also very expected.
Here are a few more voices from the English-language press:
“The Independent” describes the album as “pretty and polished”, but criticizes a lack of innovation. The “Times” speaks of a “excess of synthetic beats and sirupartige R&B”, but recognizes Carey’s vocal skills. “The Au Review” from Australia states: not a bad album, but there is no clear personality and conceptual depth. “The ballad load could be patient”, which is a nice conclusion.
