EDITORS’ NOTES After blowing listeners away with her dizzying five octave range on her first two energetic albums, Music Box is a much mellower affair, more appropriate for a candle-lit evening than a night at the club. Carey does offer two chances to dance the blues away on the uptempo tunes “Now That I Know” and “I’ve Been Thinking About You,” but on the whole Music Box is Carey’s way of showing that she’s not all vocal pyrotechnics - she can pull off a slow burn just as well.

The songs, most of which were co-written by Carey, feature a lot of lyrics focused on love as a form of escape, as on the album’s two biggest hits, the tellingly-titled “Dreamlover” and “Hero.” Elsewhere she touches on the various stages of longing and heartbreak, including a cover of the tearjerker “Without You,” which was a huge hit for Harry Nilsson in 1971. Daydream is the fifth studio album by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey, released. This subdued approach allows Carey to squeeze every ounce of drama from the synth-soaked ballads that dominate the album.
