Mariah Carey's self titled debut album Reviewed by Unknown from south africa on 16 February 2004

Mariah's debut was austere and lovely showcasing her impossibly dexterous voice. This eponymous album was a promising kickoff for her career, rich with smoky diva swagger and raw vocal power. Best here were the ballads - "I Don't Wanna Cry," Vision Of Love," "Love Takes Time" - which she delivered with fantastic grace and style.

One of her bestReviewed by Londi Zikalala from Johannesburg, South Africa on 08 June 2005

After signing to Columbia, Carey entered the studio to begin work on her 1990 self-titled debut LP; the heavily promoted album was a chart-topping smash, launching no less than four number one singles: "Vision of Love," "Love Takes Time," "Someday," and "I Don't Wanna Cry." Her overnight success earned Grammy awards as Best New Artist and Best Female Vocalist, and expectations were high for Carey's follow-up, 1991's Emotions. The album did not disappoint, as the title track reached number one — a record fifth consecutive chart-topper — while both "Can't Let Go" and "Make It Happen" landed in the Top Five. Carey's next release was 1992's MTV Unplugged EP, which generated a number-one cover of the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There"; featured on the track was backup singer Trey Lorenz, whose appearance immediately helped him land a recording contract of his own.
