Mariah Carey has had a precarious few years with more headlines being written about the diva’s increasing waistline, her lack of love life and her failing vocals than her impeccable body of work. But the close of 2018 has been kind to the 'My All' songstress thanks to her in-house spin-doctors receiving the ultimate shake up they indeed needed. With former manager Stella Bulochnikov being shown the exit Carey seems to have put out her career sh*t storm and taken back control, erasing the lacklustre I Don’t era that included a docusoap of the worst kind and a glitch-plagued performance in New York City on New Year’s Eve 2017.

 

'Caution', Carey’s fifteenth studio album, is her first full-length release through Butterfly MC and Epic Records imprint and has earned the veteran yet another No. 1 album, her second this year. More than 17 years after its first release, 'Glitter' finally hit the Number One spot on Thursday Nov. 15. 'Caution', much like 'Glitter', is a solid album with the musical cohesion of her best work. It effortlessly blossoms in its pure hip-hop-leaning pop bliss, a musical tour-de-force that sits dexterously within the current trends while giving a perfectly-manicured middle-finger at the non-believer, exemplifying Carey once again as a formidable RnB pop presence.
