“Mariah Carey has had the privilege to not care about making new music for a while now. The pop icon has built such a towering legacy over the course of her phenomenal career: 19 Billboard Hot 100 Number ones, six Grammys, and a catalogue that’s influenced an entire generation of artists from Adele to Ariana Grande. The elusive chanteuse could hang up her mic now, but she’s back again with her 16th”
“Anyone expecting a late-career masterpiece from the singing legend will be disappointed, but the songs are a marker of her consistency and, most of all, her endurance.”
“The diva’s 16th studio album is thoughtfully constructed and surprisingly candid about the present condition of her voice. It’s a no-makeup sound for a persona devoted to glamour.”
“On her long-awaited 16th studio album, the superstar mostly stays in her pocket and proves her voice is still intact”
