Produktbeschreibungen
Mariah Careys erstes Album nach ihrer Scheidung, enthält Anspielungen auf ihren Ex-Mann (und Plattenboss) Tommy Mottola, die aber zurückhaltender sind, als es in ähnlichen Werken häufig der Fall ist. Nun macht sie wieder das, was sie am besten kann und säuselt den verführerischen, rhythmusreichen Liedern ihre typischen, melodischen Gesangsspiralen ein. Die Fans werden sie alle lieben: Das Schlummerlied "Baby Doll", das süß-triefende "Honey" und den eingängigen Titelsong, ein neu aufgenommenes Stück, das Teile aus Elton Johns "Skyline Pigeon" aus dem Album Fly Away integriert. Das Duett mit Dru Hill im Lied "The Beautiful Ones", das aus der Feder von Prince stammt, stellt den Höhepunkt des Albums dar. --Michael Ruby
Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Upon its release, Butterfly was interpreted as Mariah Carey's declaration of independence from her ex-husband (and label president) Tommy Mottola, and to a certain extent, that's true. Butterfly is peppered with allusions to her troubled marriage and her newfound freedom, and the music is supposed to be in tune with contemporary urban sounds instead of adult contemporary radio. Nevertheless, it feels like a Mariah Carey album, which means that it's a collection of hit singles surrounded by classy filler. What is surprising about Butterfly is the lack of up-tempo dance-pop. Apart from the Puffy Combs-produced "Honey," Butterfly is devoted to ballads, and while they are all well-crafted, many of them blend together upon initial listening. Subsequent plays reveal that Carey's vocals are sultrier and more controlled than ever, and that helps "Butterfly," "Break Down," "Babydoll," and the Prince cover, "The Beautiful Ones," rank among her best; also, the ballads do have a stronger urban feel than before. Even though Butterfly doesn't have as many strong singles as Daydream, it's one of her best records, illustrating that Carey is continuing to improve and refine her music, which makes her a rarity among her '90s peers.
