Rainbow 25 (106,700)
by Lee from UK
| |
|
|
The Mariah Only TGIFY sounds to me like it was always intended to have featured artists. The new Mariah vocals sound like demo cuts of Mariah indicating what she wants the featured artist to sing.

Rainbow 25 (106,675)
by BFF from United States

I like this "Mariah Only" version of "Thank God I Found You." It provides new insight into the recording process for the single and demonstrates that the song was complete before she decided to add the guest artists.
I've always liked the album version of the song (prefer it to the remix version) and thought it deserved to be a bigger hit than it was. It went to #1 but mostly based on single sales, not radio airplay. Maybe it would've worked better as a duet with Joe without 98 Degrees?
I think the Make It Last version worked best in its iteration without the rap from Nas, but it feels more like a cover of "Make it Last Forever" than a remix of Mariah's song. There are very few elements of the original song in the remix.

Just listen to both simultaneously and you can't hear any difference, if anything the enhanced Dolby version is just clearer.

The question becomes what do they mean by "original mixing problems"? Does that mean the mixes we've known for 25 years are not what she initially wanted? Are these new mixes what 2024 MC prefers?
I just realized that on Spotify the OG album has been updated with these new mixes and that's annoying. I was listening to the climax note of the Vulnerability interlude and the ending of that sustained note is missing something that was in the OG.

Rainbow's End (106,698)
by Jamie from UK

|

I think Mariah should have done a 3 minute version of Rainbow's End. Added a second verse like the one at the beginning and reduce all the extras and released that version as a single for Pride season

Rainbow 25 (106,697)
by jaker20 from US

I love TGIFY but I felt like they had no chemistry. I agree that it probably would have been better if it's just Joe. Three artists is a bit of a crowd and on stage, it's even more crowded for her interact with. It's strange how that came about. As far as I know, Mariah's never talked about her collaboration with 98D when all of her collaborations have a story. With that said, I love the song itself, it's actually one of my most played songs in the album when I first had it. Sometimes, I wonder if she will ever add it on her setlist and 98D and Joe show up as a surprise.
I love every single version of the song, including the jazzy one that she performed live a few years ago in Vegas, which she completely slayed by the way.

Rainbow 25 CD? (106,696)
by Bobby A from United States
| |
|
|
Lol. I am here searching the YouTube comments for the reason why Sony didn't make the CD available for preorder. I can't find a reason why. I can only speculate that CD sales for Music Box and The Rarities must have been low compared to vinyl sales. This is why I miss Fye's Mix and Burn. I could get on their website and create the CD and have shipped to me in 7 days.

Mariahtrends on X is reporting that MC worked with her engineers to correct original mixing problems for the anniversary release. I always felt that the sound quality was not like Butterfly or Daydream. Did she rush the mixing process as well to be done with Sony?

Honestly, I'm not stoked for a release of the song knowing the back story as to why it never saw the light of day. I'm also never really into her duets or features, since to me those other artists are a distraction. Lol. That's just me though.

Lol I miss the 90s too Jamie. I go back and revisit in my memories, probably too often. Some of my favorite albums and movies are from the 90s. But going to the store to buy the Rainbow CD on release day was such a high feeling. Enjoy the album and your weekend.

Agree. I like hip hop MC better than disco queen Mariah. Lol. I think that she and David were going for a beat that the queens could relate to the most since a lot of drag queens love to perform 70s disco songs. A Rainbow End has Sylvester written all over it.

After listening to the reissued album last night, I too have a new found appreciation for Rainbow. I absolutely love it. There For Me and it's acapella version? I can't believe it. I'm ecstatic and I love Rainbow's End. Just what we needed for Summer. Feels like 1999 again, not really, but whatever. Have a great weekend. Stream and buy if y'all can. Thank you Mariah.

by Terna from Nigeria

"There for me" finally has been released officially. I noticed that on the Mariah Only version of TGIFY, there's distortion, it's like the master tape was wrinkled in some areas. All in all this feels really like a 2nd take done right. The original recording to me always had this rushed feel to it and was mastered poorly, matter of fact Rainbow out of all her albums is the only one that comes across as half baked. She wasn't in a good place physically, vocally and emotionally and that's reflected on the record. Just for the nostalgia however, I would always love it. It was my first Mariah Carey CD. Lol. I recall it all too well, I bought it alongside Shola Ama's "In Return".

Sounds like the sound/volume issues from the original version have been fixed on the remastered version of After Tonight. And on the Heartbreaker remix, I heard extra whispers in the beginning that I hadn't heard on the one released back in '99. Nice to have There For Me digitally.
