From The Vault: Mariah Carey – Honey
Mariah Carey’s 1997 smash ‘Honey’ serves as this week’s From The Vault video. As the the first single to be lifted from the diva’s ‘Butterfly’ LP, the track and its accompanying video ushered in what was then considered a very ‘different’ Mariah. Newly divorced and musically embracing an edgier, Urban sound, Mariah shed her conservative ‘girl next door’ image with this racy Paul Hunter directed clip. Random tidbit: here, also saw the debut of the ‘Mariah Whine’ LMAO. Check it out:
Great song, even better video.
Your thoughts?

The ‘Mariah Whine’ is her little dance that she does in the video. Ever since then, she’s been doing this little shimmy in all her urban videos – a la “Shake It Off”
