Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0074646783528 Label: Sony Manufacturer: Sony MPN: 67835 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Sony Release Date: September 16, 1997 Studio: Sony Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Carey's first post-divorce effort makes passing allusions to her ex-hubby (and label honcho) Tommy Mottola, but it doesn't dwell on them the way many similar projects do. Instead, Carey is right back to her old tricks; cooing trademark melismatic spirals through sexy, beat-heavy hits. Fans will dig the bedroom slink of "Baby Doll," the dripping "Honey" and the infectious title track (reprised, along with a bit of Elton John's "Skyline Pigeon," in "Fly Away"). The highlight is a duet with Dru Hill on Prince's "The Beautiful Ones," which just might be her most pointed commentary on Mottola. --Michael Ruby Album Description: The second single & title track of her 1997 album. Pt.1features 'Butterfly' (Album Version), 'Fly Away (ButterflyReprise)' (Album Version), 'Fly Away (Butterfly Reprise)'(Fly Away Club Mix) and 'The Roof' (Remix With Mobb Deep).Slimline jewel case. 1997 Co Average Rating:
 Rating:  - the only brilliant album of mariahThis is, in my opinion, the only brilliant album from mariah carey. if you don't know which album from her to buy, don't hesitate, this is the one. Here you will be able to listen to fantastic R&B and hip-hop songs never released in single, such as "the roof" and "babydoll". one of the most interessting songs that you will definately fall in love with is "the beautiful ones", originatelly released in the album purple rain, from prince. In this record mariah manages to sing in her own way in a duet ... Read More Rating:  - "It's just like honey..."Mariah Carey released her Butterfly album at an interesting time in her life. She had just gotten divorced from her record executive husband of 4 years, and used this album as a statement of her independence and the start of a new chapter in her life and career. Her albums up to this point were of a more pop sounding, adult contemporary nature, and were receiving huge airplay on radio stations. This time around, Mariah Carey decided to add a more R&B sound to her music, which works ... Read More Rating: - Not as good as her previous albums.. 3.75 starsI must say that Mariah Carey took a turning point and switched genres. Before this album, I would classify her music as R&B/Pop. And From Buttefly to E=MC2, I would classify her music as Hip-Hop/R&B. And While her music has been good since this album, it hasn't been the same Mariah introduced in 1990. 1. Honey is a hip-hop-ish song using samples and production by Sean Combs (Which, when working with Puffy/Diddy, you're most likely to get samples). Sean Combs speaks too much on this track. ...

Rating:  - A Giant Step BackwardsAfter watching American Idol tonight, and watching and hearing Mariah's newest release - a truly moving number - I'm ready to get back in her corner. It's been awhile. As a huge Mariah Carey fan, I had always bought all of her albums, But this album, Butterfly, turned me off so much it took a long time to overome it. The opening song, Honey, was so bad, and the video so suggestive and vulgar, that I was turned off for years, and haven't bought a Mariah album since. I know ... Read More |
