Mariah Carey Discografie - Album Emotions


INFO: Mit 10 Songs ist "Emotions" ein "kleines Album" und war - kurz nach "Mariah Carey" erschienen - kommerziell zwar weniger erfolgreich, gleichwohl aber ein wirklich gutes mit großen, gefühlvollen Balladen. Auf "Emotions" setzte Mariah die begonnene Zusammenarbeit mit dem Producer Walter Afanasieff intensiver fort (vier Songs), der hier erstmals an erster Stelle als Produzent benannt wird und der dann auch die nachfolgenden Alben bis "Butterfly" mit seiner besonderen musikalischen Handschrift und seinem Gefühl für große Balladen prägen wird.
Mariah Carey zeigte zugleich, daß ihr erstes Album keine Ausnahme war, sondern daß sie an ihren Liedern generell als Songschreiberin und Mitproduzentin beteiligt war - kaum eine andere Sängerin war so sehr persönlich eingebunden in Entstehung, Bearbeitung und Produktion ihrer Songs wie Mariah Carey.
David Cole (vier Songs) und die berühmte Songschreiberin Carole King ("If It's Over") haben gleichfalls einen großen Beitrag zu "Emotions" geleistet.
Die "Emotions"-Single stürmte auf Platz 1 der Billboards und wurde damit die 5. # 1 Single von Mariah in Folge seit ihrem Debüt. Das hatte vor ihr noch keine Newcomerin geschafft.


SINGLES: Aus dem Album "Emotions" wurden 4 Singles ausgekoppelt: "Emotions", "Can't Let Go" und "Make It Happen" - Versionen von "Till The End Of Time" (Hasta El Final Del Tiempo) erschien allerdings nur in Mexiko und Spanien.

Album Reviews

Fan-Review: Anno ´91, da war´s noch nicht völlig ausreichend, sich in einer Fernseh-Castingshow durch die Bohlen-Maschine quetschen zu lassen, um zum "Superstar" aufzusteigen. Mariah Carey, amtlich anerkannter Megastar im Jahre 2003, musste sich nämlich damals so einiges anhören ... und das, obwohl sie damals bereits ein Nr.1-Platin-Album und 4 Nr.-1-Hits in der Tasche hatte - "Eintagsfliege", "ohne stimmliche Begabung" - bevor Mariah ersteres spätestens mit "Music Box" wiederlegte und zweiteres mit "Unplugged" - veröffentlichte sie erst einmal ein 2., nur 10 Songs langes Album namens "Emotions" - und erntete Platin und einen weiteren Nr.-1-Hit! Tja, und eben dieser ist "Emotions" - ein peppiger Disco-Knüller, fast übersprudelnd
vor Spaß. Neben großen, eher stilleren Balladen bilden eben jene tanzbaren, poppigen Soul-Upbeats den zweiten, völlig anders klingenden Schwerpunkt des Albums - pure "Emotion" eben. "Make it happen" ist auch so ein Song: Mitsing- und absolut tanzbar, geschickt arrangiert aus sexy, frischem Popsoul; auch so ein poppiges Perlchen ist "To be around".
Berühmt bei den Fans allerdings ist "Emotions" eher wegen der Balladen - und hier erreicht MC eine fast atemberaubende Vielfalt - von der gediegenen Pianonummer "The Wind" über das sphärische, schwebend- melancholische "Can´t let go" bis zum klassischen Mariah-Schmachter "So Blessed". Eine nette Überraschung übrigens gibt´s auf "You´re so cold": Wo JEDER mit einer traurigen Gescheiterte-Beziehungs-Ballade gerechnet hatte, serviert Miss Carey fetzige Dancefloor-Beats - ich musste erstmal lächeln. Da hat MC ganz schön auf´s Glatteis geführt...
Ansonsten aber ist alles,"wie es sein solte":Auch "And don´t you remeber" und "If it´s over" schmelzen vor "Emotions"; alles bestens also. Mein persönlicher Favorit? Bei "Can´t let go" würde wohl selbst der allereisigste Schneemann vor Mitleid in Tränen ausbrechen, wenn Mariah "There you are / holding her hand / feeling so lost / dyin´to understand ... ganz unglücklich ins Mikro haucht. Also, alles in allem schöne Balladen, fetzige Upbeats - keine musikalischen Großüberraschungen, dafür solid-perfekte Soul / Pop-Perlen. Gelungen. Allgemein gilt "Emotions" schon als das Album, mit dem Mariah auf die Soul- Göttinnen-Stufe der Whitney Houston kletterte.... (Rene´Freudenthal)

'Emotions' ist der perfekte Titel für Mariah Careys zweites Album. Denn die bringt die raketengleich in den Charts- Olymp gestartete Amerikanerin mit ihrer Wahnsinnsstim- me in allen Schattierungen rüber. Dabei klettert sie vokal in solche Höhen, daß einem schwindlig werden kann, gospelt mit einer Hingabe, die Weißen nur selten gege- ben ist und setzt so konsequent wie dezent auf program- mierte Helfer. Hitträchtiger Pop-Soul, der zurückhaltend mit dem Zeitgeist kokettiert, ohne dadurch auf den Geist zu gehen." (Audio)

Die Lyrics

Emotions


You've got me feeling emotions
Deeper than I've ever dreamed of
You've got me feeling emotions
Higher than the heavens above

I feel good
I feel nice
I've never felt so
Satisfied
I'm in love
I'm alive
Intoxicated
Flying high
It feel like a dream
When you touch me tenderly
I don't know if it's real
But I like the way I feel
Inside

Chorus

In the morning
When I rise
You are the first thing
On my mind
And in the middle
Of the night
I feel your heartbeat
next to mine
It feels like a dream
When you love me tenderly
I don't know if you're for real
But I like the way I feel
Inside

Chorus

You know the way to make me
lose control
When you're looking into my eyes
You make me feel so
High

Chorus



And You Don't Remember


Shattered dreams
Cut through my mind
Tragically our love has died
Memories confine my head
Bitterly I face the end

Trustingly
I gave my self to you
I let you inside
Believing your lies

Chorus:
And you don't remember
Every time you told me
You were mine for ever
For eternity
And you don't remember
How you used to hold me
How we'd melt together
How you needed me
How we used to be
In love

Stranded here
In notingness
With only tears
And lonliness

Foolishly
I gave my soul to you
I let you inside
Believing your lies

Chorus

Helplessly
I fell so deep
I was so naive
To let you in
Why did I let you in
To my heart

And you don't remember
Anything you told me
You were mine forever
For eternity
I know you don't remember
How you used to hold me
How we'd melt together
Together
How you needed me
How we used to be
In love



Can't Let Go


There you are holding her hand
I am lost
Dying to understand
Didn't I cherish you right
Don't you know you were my life

Chorus:
Even though I try I can't let go
Something in your eyes
Captured my soul
And every night I see you in
my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go

Just cast aside
You don't even know I'm alive
You just walk on by
Don't care to see me cry
And here I am
Still holding on
I can't accept
My world is gone

Chorus

Do you even realize the sorrow
I have inside
Everyday of my life
Do you know the way it feels
When all you have just dies
I try and try to deny that I need you
But still you remain on my mind

No I just can't get you out of my mind
I never can say goodbye
'Cause every night
I see you in my dreams

You're all I know
I can't let you go
Even though I try
I can't let go
of something I need so badly
You're all I know
I can't let go



Make It Happen


Not more than three short years ago
I was abandoned and alone
Without a penny to my name
So very young and so afraid
No proper shoes upon my feet
Sometimes I couldn't even eat
I often cried myself to sleep
But still I had to keep on going
Never knowing if I could take it
If I would make it through the night
I held on to my faith
I struggled and I prayed
And now I've found my way

Chorus:
If you believe in yourself enough
And know what you want
You're gonna make it happen
(Make it happen)
And if you get down on your
knees at night
And pray to the lord
He's gonna make it happen
(Make it happen)

I know life can be so tough
And you feel like giving up
But you must be strong
Baby just hold on
You'll never find the answers
if you throw your life away
I used to feel the way you do
Still I have to keep going
Never knowing if I could take it
If I would make it through the night
I held on to my faith
I struggled and I prayed
And now I've finally found my way

Chorus

I once was lost
But now I'm found
I got my feet on solid ground
Thank you Lord
If you believe within your soul
Just hold on tight
And don't let go
You can make it happen
(Make it happen)

Chorus



If It's Over


Won't you talk to me
This is so out of hand
Something's gone wrong
With the life that we planned

Won't you look at me
You're avoiding my gaze
And it seems like you've changed
In so many ways

Chorus:
It isn't fair
It isn't right
If it's really gone
Then tell me tonight
If it's over
If it's over
Let me go

Won't you speak to me
I'm just here holding on
'Cause baby I really don't need to
wait around
If the feeling is gone

Chorus

I don't need no apologies
I'm not looking for sympathy
All I'm asking for
Is your honesty
Won't you give it to me
Give it to me now

It isn't fair
It just isn't right
'Cause if is't really gone
You've got to say the word tonight
If it's over
If it's over
Won't you let me know
Baby if it's over
If it's over
Over - let me go



You Are So Cold


Lord only knows
Why I love you so
You're a heartless man
I don't understand
Why you gotta be
Why you need to be
So cold

Chorus:
So cold
How can you be
So cold
So cruel to me
Ice cold
Don't even feel
Your kiss is like fire
But deep down inside
You're so cold

You play games with my mind
Cheat and lie time after time
And I know you'll never change
But I just can't break away
I don't know why I let you treat me
the way you do
You're just no good for me
I wish I never fell for you

Chorus

So many times
You keep me waiting around endlessly
You just laugh as I drown in despair
Never a worry, never a care
I don't know why I let you hurt me the
way you do
You've got a spell on me
I'm hopelessly in love with you

Chorus

Made of stone
Oh you're wicked to the bone
I give you my heart
You tear me apart
You're like a devil
In disguise

Chorus



So Blessed


Lying beside you
This joy is so deep
I reach out and touch you
Tenderly
Looking inside you
My world is complete
I struggled to find you
Now I'm free

Precious love
Burning so deeply
Shining completely
For you

Chorus:
So blessed
Amazingly
Touching you now
Awakens me
You are my heart
My everything
Feeling you now
Is all I need

Adrift in a moment
So sacred and pure
Alive for you only
I am yours
As you touch me so sweetly
And you whisper my name
I feel how you love me
We are the same

Precious one
Don't ever leave me
Forever need me
This way

Chorus

Stay with me
Beyond the end
I treasure you
You made me whole again

Chorus



To Be Around You


Something that you do
Hypnotizes me
Sets my soul at ease
Every time you're near me
I'm in heaven baby

I don't know how you do it
Never felt like this before
I don't wanna lose it
Give me all your love
(More and more and more)

Something that you do
Mesmerizes me
Sets my body free
Every time you touch me
I'm in heaven baby

I don't know how you do it
Never felt so sweet before
I don't wanna lose it
Give me all your love
(More and more and more)

Chorus:
I just wanna be around you
Tell me are you feeling the same
I just wanna be around you
Every minute of the day
Oh I'm never gonna let you go

Every time you smile
It captivates my mind
And it lifts me to the sky
Anytime you touch me
I'm in heaven baby
I don't now how you do it
Never felt so sweet before
I don't wanna lose it
Give me all your love

Chorus

I just want
To be the only one you live for
I just want
To give you all my love
(More and more and more)

Chorus



Till The End Of Time


Close to me
Oh I need you close to me
Loving me
Close to you
How can I get close to you
Help me to

Chorus:
Why can't you see
I would give the world away
To have you by my side
I'm so in need
Each and every night I pray
You'll come and save my life
I would love you
Till the end of time

I think of you
Every moment I go through
Thoughts of you
I dream of you
All I have are so many dreams of you
Won't you please come true

Why can't you see
I would give the world away
To have you by my side
Oh I'm so in need
Each and every night I pray
You'll come and save my life
I would love you
Till the end of time

Tell me what you need
Let me give you all of me
Without you nothing's real
You're the reason that I feel

Tell me what you need
Let me give you everything
Every moment I'm alive
Until the end of time

Chorus

I would love you till the end of time



The Wind


The wind has taken you
You're free finally at peace
So still you lie
Leaving your cares behind

The pain is gone
Gone with the spirit in your eyes
Now you're wandering around
Above us
Looking downward
As we cry

You've flown into the wind
Escaping all the hurt within
Took to the sky
Leaving the world behind

So young to die
How could you let it all pass you by

And to the wind go so many dreams
That you held inside
Now you're just a memory
Burning in my mind

So young to die
How could you let life pass you by
And now you'll never know I loved you
And now you'll never know I cared

I really loved you
And now you'll never know

You'll only fade
Into the wind
