Relisten to this masterpiece. Crazy how fresh it sounds.
She has a great song on this album called “BLISS” that I think people should really check out also on this record, there’s an interlude called “Vulnerability” that is the most superb thing you’ll ever hear. I mean it really is the most heavenly thing in the whole wide world. I could go on and on about this record now that I think about it. But kudos to mariah for producing a solid album given the amount of pressure she was under.
This album didn’t need a re-release tbh, its the weakest one in her catalog after Charmbracelet.
I love the new single Rainbow’s End 🌈 and especially the dance remix of it 🏳️🌈. I will definitely buy this new deluxe version of Rainbow 🌈❤️💛💚💙💜!
