In May of 1990, Long Island native Mariah Carey released her self-titled debut album. The unmistakable power of her voice drives her first four singles to #1, and she never looks back. You literally can’t make it up because that’s the story of Mariah Carey, whose debut album arrived 30 years ago. Carey began showcasing her phenomenal range on several TV appearances in 1990 to promote the album, including The Tonight Show, The Arsenio Hall Show, and Good Morning America. “Vision of Love” was released as the first single in May of that year ahead of the album hitting stores. The song hit the Hot 100 chart in June, went #1 in the fall, and stayed in the spot for four weeks. Her next three singles from the album each went to #1; “Love Takes Time,” "Someday,” and" I Don't Wanna Cry” kept Carey at the top of the singles charts. The tune powered the album and Carey to four Grammy nominations in 1991; she won Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

We continue down the path with Mariah Carey's fourth studio album, "Musicbox," which was released on August 31st, 1993. Unlike her previous album before this, Mariah decided to take a slightly different approach, focusing her attention on a more pop, radio-friendly direction. Lyrically, most of the tracks on "Musicbox" are depicted as straight-up love songs. The album went on to be certified Diamond by the RIAA, selling over 10 million copies in the U.S. alone. It put Mariah back at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 with the first single, "Dreamlover," and the second single, "Hero," and giving her 8 total number one's songs to hit the top spot in only a span of 3 years. You cannot deny she has an ear for melody that makes this an instant classic. The arrangements can sound a little bit dated and somewhat cheesy, but Mariah's angelic voice elevates them to the next level. Production is slick, and that credit goes to her collaboration with long-termer Walter Afanasieff, who have since parted ways after working together on her fifth album "Daydream." The record is her most Pop/Adult Contemporary sound, but it holds a particular place in her catalog for her fans especially. Mariah’s fans certainly cherish this album for what it meant to her career. “Hero” is the perfect example of why Mariah has always been able to reach a broad audience and hold a special place in people's hearts. Her voice, her lyrics, and melodies are the soundtracks to our lives.

Soulful singer Givēon made his TV debut earlier today on the Ellen Degeneres Show.

Released on May 20th,016, was Ariana Grande's third studio album called "Dangerous Woman." This was the follow-up to "My Everything," which transformed her from Nickelodeon actress to chart-topping international superstar. She shifted from the low-slung groove to electro-pop on this album and is a little bit of everything. The album was co-produced by hitmaker Max Martin, the mastermind behind everything from The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face” to Taylor Swift’s ”Blank Space." The lead single, the swaying, low-key title track "Dangerous Woman," taunts and tantalizes with its enticing beat before exploding into a blaring chorus full of horns synths that give it an extremely catchy hook. The incredible, abrasive electronic energy of "Into You" is never really matched as the chorus stays stuck in your head. The album’s strongest cut comes in with "Everyday," featuring Future, with its trap beats in the verses and dubstep-lite refrains in the chorus giving the song a powerful first impression, which could have ruined the flow of the song. The album also packs some one-off styles that expand the album's stylistic scope. "Side to Side," featuring a collaboration with rapper Nicki Minaj, features a swaggering reggae beat that stands out on the album. On the other end of the spectrum, "Greedy" is a joyous, upbeat disco track that features many prominent bass and stabbing strings, offering a nice throwback moment. The opening track "Moonlight" and closing track "Thinking Bout You" cover different ends of the same spectrum: "Moonlight" is a slow, romantic love ballad that relies on sweeping strings to set the mood of the track, while "Thinking Bout You" uses ambient, airy strings to create a minimal track coated in reverb, with its twinkling chorus being one of the album’s best moments. She even ended up calling her album "Dangerous Woman" because it represents more accurately where she was in your life at the time. Just like every album, not all the tracks were standouts, but the album as a whole really shows the progression with Grande’s music. "Dangerous Woman" has more hits and less filler than she’s ever managed to fit onto one album. It may not be a total reinvention for her in style or sound, but it does focus more on what made her so enjoyable in the past.
