With a catalog as colossal as Mariah Carey‘s, major milestones are constant.

Case in point the 30th anniversary of the diva’s third studio album ‘Music Box.’

With Mimi commemorating the enduring LP with a new re-release, this week That Grape Juice‘s salutes one of its central anthems – ‘Any Time You Need A Friend.’

Produced by Walter Afanasieff, the power ballad was serviced as the fifth and final single from the LP. And oh does it deliver on the notion of going out with a bang.

Lyrically, the track – much as its title suggests – finds Carey belting about her support for a loved one in their time of need.

Beyond its uplifting subject matter, Carey’s vocal prowess elevates the song to heavenly heights. A majestic display of melismatic magnificence, the vocal performance is widely hailed as one of the most revered of the legend’s career.

Peaking at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100, ‘Anytime’ dominated the airwaves in earnest. Its music video, directed by Diane Martel, added another layer to its impact.

An eternal toast to one of the best to ever do it!
