Emotions

Home

Both Mariah and Clivilles came up with separate ideas for "Emotions", the title of which paid homage to the 1970s girl group best known for their collaboration with Earth Wind and Fire for "Best of my love" and "Boogie wonderland". They borrowed the celebratory feel of those records, but stopped short as Mariah put it of "stealing the damn record... we're not dumb."
It was premiered by Mariah at the eighth annual MTV Awards ceremony in September and its rapturous reception must have been music to the ears of anyone in Columbia fretting about Carey's ability to manage without her usual co-writer. Emotions made it five Number 1s in a row on its release in mid October. It beat the Jackson Five's 21 year old record of four US chart-toppers in their first four releases - a fact that was much a thrill for the two former DJs as it was for the girl who sang the song. "Working with Mariah was fun," Cole revealed. "Robert and I came up with a whole bunch of grooves. If this worked, cool, if this doesn't work, next. We would all come together and decide..."
According to People Weekly 9, "Emotions" has an irresistibly bouncy bass line and a Carey's signature vocal trick - soaring high notes that most singers couldn't reach from the top of the Empire State Building.

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 Emotions 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.
