It had orignally been Tommy Mottola's idea to bring in David Cole
and Robert Clivilles. It was a given that that the new album would repeat
the successful formula of mixing ballads and dance music, and
who better for the dance music than the hottest team in the country.
"Emotions" became one of the four Carey-Cole-Clivilles collaborations
and the first single, although it wasn't originally planned as the first
single, that was going to be "You're so cold".
Both Mariah and Clivilles came up with separate ideas for "Emotions",
the title of which paid homage to the 1970s girl group best
known for their collaboration with Earth Wind and Fire for "Best of
my love" and "Boogie wonderland". They borrowed the celebratory feel
of those records, but stopped short as Mariah put it of "stealing the
damn record... we're not dumb".
"Emotions" was premiered by Mariah at the eighth annual MTV
Awards ceremony in September and its rapturous reception must
have been music to the ears of anyone in Columbia fretting about
Carey's ability to manage without her usual co-writer. "Emotions" made
it five Number 1's in a row on its release in mid October. It beat the
Jackson Five's 21 year old record of four US chart-toppers in their
first four releases - a fact that was much a thrill for the two former
DJs as it was for the girl who sang the song. "Working with Mariah
was fun," Cole revealed. "Robert and I came up with a whole bunch of
grooves. If this worked, cool, if this doesn't work, next. We would all
come together and decide..."
According to People Weekly, "Emotions" has an irresistibly bouncy
bass line and a Carey's signature vocal trick - soaring high notes
that most singers couldn't reach from the top of the Empire State
Building.
