Circles by Mariah Carey Song Info
In a track-by-track commentary with AOL Music in 2005, Mariah said: “Circles” is a song that I wrote with Big Jim Wright, who’s an incredible musician. He works with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. He also does outside projects like Sounds of Blackness and a lot of different gospel things. He’s just very talented. Basically we were going for an old school vibe. It’s all live musicians. I feel like it has that organic kind of feel. We were going for a somewhat retro urban record that wasn’t overly produced that gave you a feeling of something from the 70’s, like a very soulful type of a record. That’s how I tried to produce the background vocals to give you that vibe of just a really basic soul record.
