Music Box

by Mariah Carey

Overview

Mariah Carey reins in her remarkable voice from the previous heights it once reached (the eardrum-shattering end of "Emotions," for instance) and the result is Music Box, her finest album yet. Featuring the breezy "Dreamlover," the touching anthem "Anytime You Need a Friend," and the massive ballad "Hero," every song is a fine example of adult contemporary pop, and it deserves all the abundant airplay it receives. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
