Me. I am Mariah… the Elusive Chanteuse - May 23, 2014
In 2011, my situation began to turn around. The summer from 2011 to the summer of 2016 were among the best years of my life.
A good opportunity for my work as a historian came along, along with new creative opportunities. I know I’m looking back with rose colored glasses and hustle culture ended up being toxic, but still, I had a great time during those years.
For music, I was focused on the EDM and club bangers that define that era, so I missed out on MC’s 2010s albums. These will be first time listens. Obviously on her part she was raising her family and busy until this 2014 release.
After the first listen, I think the album presents an interesting combination of her signature quiet storm style with nods to 2010s production quirks and techniques. The crossovers appear in tracks like “Beautiful,” “Meteorite,” and “Money” while “Heavenly” is a classic churched up inspirational song. “The Art of Letting Go” is also good. I do love the sweet closing song. Worth the wait.
I appreciate listening to the music of an artist who despite everything she went through, held on to her creative spirit.
