Mariah Carey - Emotions

About Emotions by Mariah Carey Album

Emotions is the second studio album by American singer Mariah Carey, released in the United States on September 17, 1991 by Columbia Records. It is primarily composed of strong ballads and dance music - written by Carey herself, Walter Afanasieff, Clivillés & Cole (of C+C Music Factory), and Carole King. The album was noted to be composed of stronger material than her previous effort, Mariah Carey. The title track became Carey's fifth consecutive number 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100, making her the first artist to achieve this feat. The album also generated the top 5 singles Can't Let Go, which peaked at #2, and Make It Happen, which became her lowest peaking single at the time (#5). Contrary to her debut album, Carey wrote and co-produced and musically composed the entire album, providing lyrics for all ten tracks. She was nominated for two Grammy Awards for Producer of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Emotions was eventually certified 4x platinum by the RIAA. Emotions debuted and peaked at number 4 on the U.S. Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 129,000 copies, which surprised some following the huge success of Mariah Carey. It spent twenty-seven weeks in the top twenty and a total of fifty-five on the Billboard 200. It became the first of four Carey studio albums not top the Billboard 200 and was her lowest-peaking album until Glitter (2001), but it was certified 4x platinum by the RIAA in 1994. Emotions performed better on the chart than her debut in the UK, peaking within the top five and spending four weeks more in the top seventy-five, with a total of forty weeks. The album was a success in Canada and Australia, but as in the U.S. it did not sell as well as Mariah Carey. The album made the Canadian top five and the Australian top ten, and was certified 4x platinum in Canada and 2x platinum in Australia.

- emotions

great album

- Favorite album

Has to be her best vocally, it’s unreal llamo. Emotions and Can’t Let Go are just amazing

- Not as good as her first

Had to grow on me,I grew up listening to these CDs my mom had, 'Mariah Carey' 'Music Box' and 'Daydream' were the main we listened to,'Emotions got left out except for the title track I knew and liked. The other singles 'Cant Let Go' and 'Make It Happen' are very good,'Your So Cold' and 'If It's Over' should have been other two singles,because they are standouts

- LOVE IT!!!❤️❤️❤️

This album is so good I think this is ur best one yet I love those whistle notes that u hit A+++

- GOAT👼

Mariah is the voice, period 🎤

- THIS GETS A 5 STAR

Mariah Carey's "So Blessed" revolutionized my music taste, introducing me to the world of R&B and pop. Her soaring vocals and uplifting melody captivated me, and I became hooked on her signature sound. Exploring her discography led me to discover timeless hits like "Vision of Love" and "We Belong Together", showcasing her impressive vocal range and storytelling. Thanks to "So Blessed", I expanded my musical horizons, discovering iconic artists like Whitney Houston and Celine Dion. Mariah Carey's music has become my go-to comfort, motivation, and joy, transforming my taste forever. I was born in 2004 and love the 90s music that my parents grew up listening to!

- Beautiful album🎼🎼🎼✨

I love Mariah!!! Her music never changes and if it does it almost always goes in the right direction✨🎤✈️☁️

- This Album Shows Her Vocals Off

this album FOR SURE is her to date BEST album that shows her vocals and how well her music is with simply a simple beat beautiful lyrics and her AMAZING VOCAL Range. Not one of these songs go over board or over produced. They are simple, beautiful lyrics, catchy beat and AMAZING vocals. This wasnt her most famouse album or her most sold, but it is definatley a stand out.

- One of her best albums...

This is the very first mariah carey album i bought...amazing vocals.....great album overall...

- Solid Sophomore Album

Overall, this album works better in the ballads then the fast songs, but it's not fair to judge altogether. Here's a track by track review: Emotions - fun and definately benefits from have C&C producing, but is oversung to the point of annoyance in certain sections (those climbs! what human can hit those?) And You Don't Remember - certainly an emotional improvement over "Emotions," this one is very poignant and sincere. Can't Let Go - the best single from the album, this one is a great ballad that still bounces enough to keep listeners awake who aren't paying attention Make It Happen - a song that will grow on you over time; at first glance this is simple, but is intoxicatingly fresh and inspiring after a few listens. If It's Over - simply put, this is a fantastic vocal performance even if its lyrics and musicality sound like they're from another time period (fitting that Carole King co-wrote) You're So Cold - interesting attempt at a dance song, this one is again is oversung, albeit a little easier on the ears than Track 1 So Blessed - this is where the album really starts to take a turn towards the best qualities in a Mariah track: the earthy vocals, simple yet effective production, shot-to-the-heart lyrics, and over-the-top theatrics that build from the slow start to the dramatic finish To Be Around You - the best fast track on the album, because it takes a simpler approach with more laid-back vocals that sit better on the track Till the End of Time - similar to "So Blessed," this one ups the ante by being more atmospheric and takes its time to really send the message to the listener; easily, the best song from the album. The Wind - a very mature song for such a young singer, "The Wind" was maybe too quiet and simple - it's perfectly fine, but rather simple and almost boring.

- Perfection

Although I'm 19 years late, this is definitely one of the BEST albums I've ever heard. One of the very few cd's I can leave playing and not skip a track. Incredible album. Definitely her best work in my opinion.

- Amazing

I love you Mariah, keep doing what your doing

- MC y'all

Mariah has been on fyah from her first single up until today! Every single track on this cd I can replay a million times.

- Emotional

This album, for the most part is very raw. Vocally, she gives this album her all, not to say that her all Is not in all of her work, but on this one, her "emotions" are a lot more intense than on her other records. After the success of her 1990 debut, with the Grammy's and all, I think Mariah was just in a good place, just emotionally and spiritually. If you really listen closely, Mariah is not really speaking about love on the most personal ballads, she's really talking about a more spiritual kind of love. I mean, "You got me feeling emotions/deeper than the heavens above" or "I will love till the end time" or "Lying beside you/This joy is so deep." Mariah on this album focussed more on art than being trendy, it's evident on the entire LP; it's very old school R&B. It's a good album; one of my favorites of all time. The only reason this album did not receive 5 stars was due to some of the production; the entire album used the same type of piano which on some tracks like "To Be Around You" just sounded cheap and tacky. If the album was left a little simpler and cleaner with the instrumentation, this album would have been perfect. Other than "Butterfly" and "E=MC2" This remains Mariah's best work, simply because of the emotions behind it. Album Highlights: Till the End of time; The Wind.

- Her best album!

Honestly her best album and her most underrated one, she was in her prime in terms of vocals and was in a lust for life type state during this album, our happiness and excellence, a must have!

- Mariah's Most Underrated Album

Emotions is literally her most underrated album ever! It has the most beautiful songs written and it's so heartfelt. It's pure beauty

- One of my faves!

I'm in love with the song make it happen! Not too shabby not too shabby! Way to go Mimi!!

- A Classic

Make it Happen and Can’t Let Go are my Fav

- This is REAL MUSIC!!

This was an AMAZING album for Mariah!! Vocally this album was her very best in my opinion!!! Emotions- Mariah's best song ever recorded!! The song is alive, catchy, feel good, and sung exceptionally!! And You Don't Remember-Beautiful ballad. Very underrated song. The dynamic vocals Mariah throws into this song are breathtaking!! Can't Let Go-Should have went number one!! The song captures you. It pulls you into the beautiful motion and vibe of the song. Love it!! Make It Happen-Mariah's beautiful testimony!! It is encouraging and well sung. If It's Over- not her best!! It has a 60s Aretha, Jackson 5 vibe. Pretty good!! You're So Cold- The first 56 seconds are wonderful and the the song is dissapointing from then. It has to grow on you. So Blessed- Typically beautiful!! To Be Around You- An upbeat gospel feel!! It makes you wanna dance!! Hidden vocals here and there. She makes you dance but still sings perfectly!! Till The End Of Time-Leaves you speachless!! Calm, soothing ballad!!! The Wind- Slow jazzlike ballad. Tear drawing

- Classic

This is a great classic album from Mariah. This is one album that has helped establish Mariah's career. Amazing... 5 Stars!!! My song pics: 'Emotions' 'Make It Happen' 'Your So Cold' 'Can't Let Go' 'Till The End Of time'

- If you are a die-hard Mariah Fan .....

This and her title album "Mariah Carey" could do something to your soul no other songstress could ever do. She single-handedly kept Me afloat during some of the toughest times of My Life , I thank God for her angelic voice and her passionate soul 😌.

- Amazing

One of her best albums ever!! I LOVE YOU M.C.

- Pretty good

The worst song on this album is the #1 hit "Emotions." The rest is pretty darn good besides "The Wind." I think "Can't Let Go" is underrated. So is "Make It Happen."

- loud song

i love a turning this song up loud and dancing to it

- One of my FAV albums the '90's!

All right! I LOVE Mariah Carey except... well this my FAVORITE album of her's except I WASN'T EVEN BORN YET! LOL! Her vocals are so amazing and she's just one of those artists that never ages with time. People like Hilary Duff have basically disappeared out of the music world! Buy this album because you WON'T regret it!

- Emotions AMAZES !!!😊

I love this woman's voice, the best I have ever heard. Gosh, nothing like the classic Mariah Carey ! Her voice is a rarity and even though they say others sound like her, I believe otherwise. There is only ONE Mariah👌one voice !!!!!!!

- Favorite album of all time

Ok grab a chair & buckle up because this album is such a vibe. everything about this album screams legend & artistic. each song has its own emotion & theme. my top three are the wind, til the end of time & can't let go

- one of my favs💖

i love this album, i truly think it’s underrated. literally no skips !

- Mariah my girl

I love u Mariah I wish you and me cud du a duet 2geta

- Mariah Carey's "Emotions"

This was her second album. Even though it did not share the same success as her first album, there were still some great hits produced from it. Some of them are "Emotions," "Make it Happen," "Can't Let Go," and "If it's Over." Like almost all of Mariah Carey's albums, this one reflects elements of love, both happy and sad. It also showcases her unforgettable vocal ability, this album containing some of the hardest song's to perform in her entire carrier.

- Make it Happen Soars

Make it Happen is still the very best. Such a CLASSIC song. I miss this kind of Mariah. Soo Good!

- Greatest voice

Best voice of all time with Whitney

- Exceptional Album!!!

This is by far the best work I have ever seen of all time from any artist. The depth of the emotions that pervade the lyrics is to say intense, but that just doesn't do it any justice. This is a must have for any person who wants the most intense feeling a person can have put to words. Every single song on this album is exceptional with the power of the words in the lyrics to the awesome intensity of a top rate band, producer, mixer all complimented by a gorgeous singer!! I can't say enough good about Mariah!!!!

- One of the greatest records of the 90s

Pure music magic ✨

- Favorite album of all time!

Out of all of Mariah's successes and failures with her releases, "Emotions" is the only album I can officially call my favorite. Her vocals are astonishing and the classic R&B only compliments her. My personal favorites are "So Blessed" and "You're So Cold". "Emotions" is an amazing album.

- I give this one a 4.5. Prefer her debut.

I like this album. Mariah has surely grown as an artist and as a lyricist, and only in one year since her last album. She really came back on this one but it was, like another reviewer stated, kind of the same compared to her debut. But what I did notice was that with a couple of the songs, Mariah did a complete 360. I don't know what to name it, but the sound is a kind of elevator music sound. Jazz. I know a lot of people who say that Mariah Carey only sings the same thing with each song, and that is not necessarily true. They need to do their research. I noticed with this album the lyrics are much much more complex, as with her first album they were more simplistic (but still good). As an overall cohesive whole, I prefer her self-titled debut album. I didn't really care for the ending on this one, The Wind. I thought it was kind of strange. But I am not Mariah Carey, and I didn't make it. Overall, good but not my favorite. I liked Make It Happen and Emotions and So Blessed and Can't Let Go and And You Don't Remember.

- Love!!!

I've always loved this album!!! I still remember when this cd came out, when I was in highschool!! I love Mariah now, but I really love her early 90's stuff the best!!!

- Love it!

Great album, we love you Mariah! #Lambily

- nobody can sing like her.... 90s classic...

90s must-have... i bought as LP...in 1991 or 2 ...

- Till' The End Of Time..

It hurts to listen to this song ! It reminds me what it feels like to be in love. I love mariah carey , im 19 & ive been listening to her since i was 8 ! This is one of my fave albums by her along with daydream ,music box & butterfly. This album is pure singing at its best<3

- Amazing

Love her voice and she is the best!!!!!!

- Emotions

Mariah Carey has always created such colorful and creative music! There's a good reason why she is the Godess of R&B/Soul! Yeah, artists like Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, Usher, Neo, etc. are okay...maybe. But Mariah Carey's the real deal here! And you cannot go wrong with this album! It's epic from start to finish! Every song on here is amazing, especially "Till the End of Time." Beautifully written and composed song!

- Haunting masterpiece

If you want to be taken away on an octave journey through the deepest inquires of your conscience, listen to this album. From the ghostly, angelic intro to "can't let go" to the haunting synthesizing organ riffs of "till the end of time", this album is nothing short of a dream. Exquisite for late nights vibe cravings, a must have for anyone with a true passion for music.

- So Blessed

Oh Lord this album is just the perfect album in my opinion ... Such great emotions and pure soul ... Listening to this album always makes me cry ... However I feel as though as So Blessed is just ignored ... To me this particular had raw vocals and it was filled with emotions and soul ... It is so romantic

- Emotions

Her whistle notes are so good and this is such a good album and all the songs are amazing emotions is amazing

- Such a Haunting and Chilling VOICE

I bought this album along with the "Memoirs" CD as a special buy. Her voice was put in the spotlight for this one. A must have for any MiMi Fan

- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

- Mariah's most Gospel-Sounding and vocally acrobatic

If you love hearing Mariah's vocal acrobatics then this is the best album. Though the album was pumped out really quick one year after her debut album which she never did again it is still just as good. Out of every Mariah album this album has the *most* gospel sound, on tracks 2,4,5, and 6 especially. The number one hits on this cd like Emotions and Can't let go are great but the *real treasures are So Blessed with it's gorgeous melody, Till The End of Time, one of her best ballads in my opinion, and The Wind whom she wrote for a friend that died in a car accident. This is the young Mariah showing off her greatest vocal abilities and her *big big voice. There really isn't a lot of her singing in her softer sultry voice on here, it stands out on it's own, and in my opinion is better, and more "Mariah" than her first album was.

- This is very nostalgic

Till the end of time is a winter song for me. Half of the songs in her albums are songs I only listen to in the winter. I even remember dancing to emotions in the basement with my cousins and brothers when I was 3 years old. Good Times!

- Production is perfection

This album truly showcases Mariah Carey’s vocal ability’s and songs like Make It Happen and To be Around You, uplift you and make you giggle with joy.

- Mariah Songstres at her finer moments

This was when Mariah showed her self, off, best, as a writer and great vocalist. She needs to re conect, I think, with this spirit. I know as an artist, sometimes they get bored and want to experiment. But how amazing will it be to get her to do these stuff from her again ...

- MARIAH AT HER BEST!

Anyone who wants to listen to Mariah at her best, and truly wants to feel emotions, then listen to this album! AMAZING!!

- She's got me feeling emotions!

An undeniable great album and emotions is just out of this world her best uptempo IMO. Best Track: Emotions Worst Track: The Wind

- Wig snatched

The whistle era! Pure perfection

- 1 OF MARIAHSSS BEST!!!!

This album is amazing especially your so cold/make it happen & emotions. Mariah's voice is untouchable and she was, is and will be number 1!! Her voice is abnormal/ superhuman and amazing!!

- AMAZING

I think this is Mariah's best album vocally, her voice is amazing throughout, especially the song 'You're So Cold'. Amazing album. Enjoy it.

- MY FAVOURITE ALBUM EVER.

WOW. Is all i can say. The album is so carefree and has so many amazing songs on it! First of all "Emotions" is a truly classic song. Her voice is undeniably amazing. "Can't Let Go" is like the Great Ballad of the album where she totally pours out the emotion. "Make It Happen" Is very inspiring and reminds me of an old soul Aretha type of song. "the Wind" is so beautiful. It's about losing somebody, But it gives off that really "Carefree" feel. "Till The End Of Time" is one of those rare songs guaranteed to make you shed a tear and "To Be Around You" is such a happy song!! I love this album so much and I'm proud to be a mariah fan.

- emotions

This album in short is excellent, in the songs on this album you hear the extent of Mariah's voice with is truly amazing range! She continues to be the greatest female solo artist in the world

- The best

Love you mariah

- Her best

Emotions Wiki

Emotions are physical and mental states brought on by neurophysiological changes, variously associated with thoughts, feelings, behavioral responses, and a degree of pleasure or displeasure. There is no scientific consensus on a definition. Emotions are often intertwined with mood, temperament, personality, disposition, or creativity. Research on emotion has increased over the past two decades, with many fields contributing, including psychology, medicine, history, sociology of emotions, computer science and philosophy. The numerous attempts to explain the origin, function, and other aspects of emotions have fostered intense research on this topic. Theorizing about the evolutionary origin and possible purpose of emotion dates back to Charles Darwin. Current areas of research include the neuroscience of emotion, using tools like PET and fMRI scans to study the affective picture processes in the brain. From a mechanistic perspective, emotions can be defined as "a positive or negative experience that is associated with a particular pattern of physiological activity". Emotions are complex, involving multiple different components, such as subjective experience, cognitive processes, expressive behavior, psychophysiological changes, and instrumental behavior. At one time, academics attempted to identify the emotion with one of the components: William James with a subjective experience, behaviorists with instrumental behavior, psychophysiologists with physiological changes, and so on. More recently, emotion has been said to consist of all the components. The different components of emotion are categorized somewhat differently depending on the academic discipline. In psychology and philosophy, emotion typically includes a subjective, conscious experience characterized primarily by psychophysiological expressions, biological reactions, and mental states. A similar multi-componential description of emotion is found in sociology. For example, Peggy Thoits described emotions as involving physiological components, cultural or emotional labels (anger, surprise, etc.), expressive body actions, and the appraisal of situations and contexts. Cognitive processes, like reasoning and decision-making, are often regarded as separate from emotional processes, making a division between "thinking" and "feeling". However, not all theories of emotion regard this separation as valid. Nowadays, most research into emotions in the clinical and well-being context focuses on emotion dynamics in daily life, predominantly the intensity of specific emotions and their variability, instability, inertia, and differentiation, as well as whether and how emotions augment or blunt each other over time and differences in these dynamics between people and along the lifespan.
