Mariah Carey - The Ballads (2008) "Reload"

Mariah Carey has always been a wonderful singer; and this CD offers us many of her best hits with a few lesser known numbers all on one single CD. The quality of the sound is excellent and I really like the artwork as well. Mariah can take a song and infuse so much energy and emotion into it that you can instinctively tell she possesses a singular talent. This is a great CD for her fans and anyone just getting to know the artistry of Mariah Carey.

Mariah Carey - The Ballads (2008) "Reload"

"Hero" is a major highlight of this album; Mariah sings this with great sensitivity and I really like "Hero." The music that accompanies her fits in just right with her vocals, too. Then we get "One Sweet Day;" this ballad tugs at my heartstrings whenever I hear it and I could never tire of hearing Mariah sing this–and she gets wonderful help from Boyz II Men. Listen also for "Vision Of Love;" this elegant love song features Mariah squarely front and center–right where she deserves to be! Mariah performs "Vision Of Love" without a superfluous note.
"Love Takes Time" has Mariah singing her heart out; and that's grand. The music fits in perfectly; I love that percussion in particular. "I'll Be There" gets a very tender interpretation from Mariah who aces this seemingly effortlessly. Of course, we know it really wasn't so easy–but Mariah Carey's talent always carries her through. Similarly, Luther Vandross joins Mariah for a sensual duet on "Endless Love;" and "Endless Love" is also another highlight of this CD.
"I Still Believe" is simply awesome to hear; and I really like "When You Believe" which features Whitney Houston singing with Mariah for quite a positive effect. "Anytime You Need A Friend" is a very pretty melody with a very fine choir to backup Mariah–not that she needs backup, but it does sound great. There's also "Always Be My Baby" with its awesome beat; Mariah sings this special type of love song with great finesse and a certain sensitivity that I rarely hear or enjoy.
"Dreamlover" also boasts a great beat as Mariah sings her heart out; she gives blood to make "Dreamlover" a truly wonderful number; and the CD ends strong with Mariah performing "Reflections (Care Enough)." "Reflections (Care Enough)" is a most tender ballad that leaves me wanting more!
Every once in a very long while all the stars in all the heavens align just so–and a true star is born. Such was–and is–the case with Mariah Carey. We are all so much better off for Mariah's sharing her talents with us; she is a special entertainer who has immense promise for the future, too. I highly recommend this album for Mariah's fans; and people who enjoy timeless love songs will not be disappointed.
Thank you, Mariah!
