Legacy

Mariah Carey is a Grammy Award-winning American singer/songwriter known for her remarkable vocal range. She was the most successful artist of the 90s in the United States, according to Billboard magazine. With a voice that covers all octaves between alto and soprano, Carey's agility and ability to sing in the whistle register set her apart. Inspired by Minnie Riperton, she honed her technique from an early age and expanded her vocal range over time.

In 2003, MTV and Blender magazine ranked Carey's voice first in their countdown of the 22 Greatest Voices in Music, as voted by fans and readers. Despite this recognition, Carey remains humble about her talent. Inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2007, she has a Lyric Soprano vocal type but considers herself an alto.

Upon its release, Butterfly was interpreted as Mariah Carey's declaration of independence from her ex-husband (and label president) Tommy Mottola.

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. Carey is continuing to improve and refine her music, which makes her a rarity among her '90s peer.
