NEW VINYL LP ON SONY 2017

180 GRAM PICTURE VINYL NUMBERED.

Upon its release, Butterfly was interpreted as Mariah Carey’s declaration of independence from her ex-husband (and label president) Tommy Mottola, and to a certain extent, that’s true. Butterfly is peppered with allusions to her troubled marriage and her newfound freedom, and the music is supposed to be in tune with contemporary urban sounds instead of adult contemporary radio. Nevertheless, it feels like a Mariah Carey album, which means that it’s a collection of hit singles surrounded by classy filler.
