Why "Butterfly" Is Mariah Carey's BEST Album | Flying to Freedom (Part 2/2)

In part one of this series, we discussed the rocky development of Mariah Carey’s fifth studio album “Daydream” but also why it earned the success it did. If you’d like to dive into that deeper, be sure to check out the video. But as a brief summation, Mariah was at the hands of a label who didn’t believe in her artistic vision and a controlling husband.

After being given label leniency, Mariah pushed forward into hip-hop and R&B which rubbed Columbia Records and her husband the wrong way, as it was too differentiated from what she had put out.

Though after the success of “Daydream” nationally and across the globe, it’s clear Mariah knew what she was doing. We ended the video on Mariah’s divorce from Tommy Mottola which brings us to this video.

After divorcing her ex husband, the rollercoaster didn’t stop for Mariah. She was now at the mercy of critics who had a lot to say about her image, sound and public relationships. Let’s pick up right where we left off in Part 1 where Mariah leaves Tommy Mottola, and get into the development of “Butterfly”.

As mentioned in my last video, Mariah herself at one point has considered “Butterfly” her magnum opus, which was stated in 2009 in the booklet for her album “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel”. So let’s explore why she and others may think that. As we continue, let me know what your favorite track off Mariah Carey’s “Butterfly” is, and if you prefer it over “Daydream” or vice versa. Let’s get into it on Pop Dissected. This Flying to Freedom Part 2, and in this video we'll be talking about why "Butterfly" is Mariah Carey's BEST album!
