Can't Let Go

Home

"Can't let go" was the second single from the album Emotions and the first disappointment. It was inevitable the record-breaking run of chart-toppers would come to an end someday, and "Can't let go" was the first "failure". It only managed to make number 2, thanks to the dominance of vocal quartet Color Me Bad. But it was produced by co-writer Walter Afanasieff who, a victim of his own success, was having a difficult time dividing his attentions between Mariah and his other project Michael Bolton.

"Mariah and I started writing together for the album a few months before starting to record. I was doing Michael's album, and during the time he would do a small tour or take a break over the holidays I'd have the opportunity to write with her." "Can't let go" was one of the first results.

In the year 2005 a book will be published by mcarchives.com, with everything Mariah has ever released, as far as possible. But for this they need your help. If you have a release of Can't Let Go not listed below, or with a different cover, or from a different country, please let them know. Because they want to make the book a reliable work of reference, you need to send a scan of the front- and back-cover of your item (because the book will be printed, the scans need to be at least 400 x 400 pixels). In return you will be mentioned in the book. You can sent the info (format, country, catalogue number, tracklisting, front-cover, back-cover and, if possible, any additional information) to deridder@sitewise.nl.
