    Alfred Roy and Mariah were estranged. She had limited contact with him. He was proud of her debut and actually thought that was her only album. She talked to him briefly in '96, but when he was diagnosed with cancer in 2002, they reconnected. She found out he thought her debut song was about him abandoning her and wasn't sure if she wanted to see him. He kept some memorabilia about her childhood and progressing music career. They became close, but he lost his battle later that year. He left her his car which she had restored and showed it in the music video for "Beautiful". His favorite flowers were sunflowers, which is why they're featured at the end of the Through the Rain video. She often has them in her dressing room before a show, and takes her kids to sunflower patches to tell them about the grandfather they never got to meet.

    She wanted The One to be the first single but her label didn’t let her do that and chose Through The Rain to be the first single instead. This album deserves so much more recognition. I love it so much.
    Also now that you’ve listened to Charm you’ve listened to the the Trilogy of Derek Jeter inspired guitar ballads. My All, After Tonight, and I Only Wanted.
    Finally, Clown is the first song she wrote about Eminem.

    Charmbracelet holds a very special place in my heart! It’s the album after her breakdown, it should’ve had a different first single (“The One”, hello!!!), and it was the first release right after I became a lamb!
    I have my own favorites, but I think we can all agree that The One is a masterpiece! This song alongside Breakdown and Always Be My Baby are indeed We Belong Together’s parents.
    Also I really love Bringin On The Heartbreak, I really wish she’d cover more 80’s rock songs, it fits her range so well!

    i only wanted is the final song that completes a trilogy that tells a story with a not really happy ending
    it starts with "my all" where she expresses her desire for the person, willing to risk her life to have him again
    and then it continues in "after tonight" where she wonders if she'll ever have that again, if he'll truly come back after he goes
    and it ends in "i only wanted" where, as you could see, he didn't come back and she ended up alone.

And btw Clown was a dis track to Eminem 😂 and yes, I and the whole Lambily agree that “The One” should have been a single. And there was actually yet another single that is part of this album’s deluxe edition, “I Know What You Want” ft. Busta Rhymes, which is the one single that is known from this project. Cheers!

    This is my second fav Mariah album and its so ahead of its time musically on MOST songs.
    the album is mostly in head voice (Similar to 2018's Caution) and has some very swift and subtle transitions that give it the illusion that it is simple. But the vocals are some of her hardest and very complex!
    Critics were also paid by (guess who😂) to give the album bad reviews so that her career would not revive after Glitter.
    This however was an album that grew on me immensely even though I liked it initially because it's an intense hearing experience especially with headphones so I hope that happens for you too. It's extremely lyric and vocal production heavy which I LOVE. Although very different in sound than her other albums, it sets more of a precedence for her sound post-2003 and till now.
    In My opinion Boy and You Got Me could've been BIG songs but since Mariah is known as the "Songbird Supreme" they didn't quite let her deviate from her typical ballad sound. and the Giltter drama only led to Through the Rain not being supported by US Radio she was blackballed and it peaked at #86 with sales alone. (Airplay impacted charts more than sales back then, similar to streaming today) It was a big global smash tho.
    Moving forward you will have very lyric heavy songs and a plethora of vocals that seem easy but are complex and layered.
    Also a side note- Don't worry about your reactions being too long, I think I can speak for all lambs on this but we love hearing people respectfully admire and love her music. Your editing game has gotten so much stronger too!!! Can't wait for you to reach 2k followers!
    Also, I just remembered.. This could be a short video but The Emancipation of Mimi Ultra Platinum edition has some bops. There are like 5 extra songs. Maybe you could re-listen to emancipation in the background and react to the Ultra Edition while giving some commentary to see the transition from Charm, Emancipation and E=MC²

    i’ll add a few points to not reiterate what everyone is saying in the comments.
    1. the album is titled "charmbracelet" because each song represents a part of a whole, like a charm in a bracelet. they're pieces that make up a story. also, i think that around that time mariah obtained a charmbracelet that belonged to her grandmother (im not 100% sure tho). you can find the booklet online
    2. the album starts with through the rain (which is represented by a raindrop) to signify that she went through hardship (glitter era). the album ends on the remix (represented as the sun) because sis made it through the rain and the sun came again.
    3. i have a theory as to why "my saving grace" is placed after clown. it's because, some, if not all the songs before this (except clown which is about eminem) are about luis miguel, her boyfriend from rainbow to 2001ish. actually, the media after the glitter fiasco said that she'd had a breakdown because luis miguel broke up with her. "my saving grace" acts as a divider in the storyline because the songs after are about derek jeter. mariah hasn't spoken about this but it seems that at some point in the early 2000s her and derek reconnected so he's the inspiration for themes present in you had your chance, subtle invitation, miss you (that's not in the album), etc. it is also possible that my saving grace is placed there chronologically since it represents how she sought faith because of glitter at the end of her relationship with luis. lullaby is the roof pt. 2 and the reference at the end is intentional. subtle invitation also has a reference to anytime you need a friend which is derek's favorite mariah song and my all which is another song about him.
    in the album there are two mini-stories that comprise a whole. the general one is through the rain --> through the rain remix. all the stuff from glitter up until she literally makes it through the rain. then the one --> clown which is mini love story 1. then you had your chance --> bringin' on the heartbreak which is the storyline about her reencounter with derek. also, mariah is dealing with the death of her father who was suddenly diagnosed with terminal cancer despite being very healthy and strong his whole life which is what she sings about in sunflowers for alfred roy.
    4. the charmbracelet era was intended to be mariah's comeback but it didn't really work out. the era had similar success to glitter. charmbible nonetheless was very big outside the US, particularly in asia where through the rain is still a very well-known song.
    5. between glitter and charm era mariah was dragged by the critics like never before. even though the album is not bad whatsoever, the critics really went after her because that's what they were expected to do due to the media's narratives. they equated her commercial downfall to her songs being shit and her not being able to sing anymore. they really criticized her approach because she sings in a breathy way the majority of the time despite her approach being exactly the same as in butterfly (some lambs even call charm the whisper album). they said her voice was weak and that she'd lost the magic she had in the 90s. this is why in the next album, the emancipation of mimi, she barely whispers and instead she takes a very belty approach.
    6. i only wanted is the end of the latin songs trilogy that are my all, after tonight and i only wanted. we don't know to what extent mariah made this sequence consciously but the trilogy still works because of the style of the songs and the storyline that is produced by the lyrics.
    7. the charmbracelet tour is the most extensive mariah has done to date. mariah is not really a touring artist and recently she revealed that she doesn't like touring that much but that she does it for the fans. the tour, unlike the album, was praised across the board because she sounded amazing. her voice was in really good condition and she was incredibly consistent. mariah being consistently in a good vocal state is hard to achieve because of her vocal nodules.
    8. this album is also referred to as the "lost mariah carey album" because the public doesn't know it at all. after glitter people dismissed her, so charmbible is mostly known by the lambs. the public only remembers glitter because of the drama and the emancipation of mimi because it was her big triumphant comeback. and to some extent, the album wasn't really meant to be a big commercial thing. if you notice, the album is missing that one song, a fantasy, heartbreaker, honey, etc. that could help anchor the album commercially. the one or boy could've been better lead singles than through the rain, but they still don't have a certain element that her previous lead singles had. mariah made an album that truly reflected her life at that point and the styles that she liked. it's an album for the fans, and it's still a fan favorite as you can probably tell. you should definitely check out miss you and there goes my heart. miss you is included on the remixes album which you should surely react to.

      Charmbracelet is similar to Caution in that regard in my opinion because of how they were never really intended to be commercial successes but just provide enough of a buffer period between the preceding and succeeding albums. Because of the drama that ensued between them. It sucks but both albums are my top 2 and had so much potential.
      and to be honest I think that The One could've been No.1 had it been given an explosive video and promotion. But maybe it would've been blackballed by radio like Through the Rain.

    I'm assuming Lullaby is about Derek Jeter since The Roof was about him.
    Would highly recommend her memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey w/ the Audiobook (MC herself is telling her story). I listened and followed along in the book. Even if you're not a super fan it is worth reading.

    This is the album that i can listen to every single day of the month, then get bored with it for the next few months. I don't understand about my relationship with this album. "My Saving Grace" is one of my most favorite songs, though. It's one of the songs that i always revisit once every few days. That song is just so powerful, and the lyrics are just so relatable with how i often feel.
    "The One" is such a banger. I know many people have expressed how disappointed they are with it not being the lead single. If i remember correctly, she already shot the music video in Japan, but she was charged for filming the music video without permission, and it ended up with her shooting the music video for Boy (I Need You) instead. I don't really like the song, but the music video is really cool! "You Got Me" kinda has the same vibe with "The One" in my opinion. I also think "Through The Rain" was a great lead single, and "The One" was a much better candidate as the second single. I think we have a very different taste in music. I personally much prefer a huge ballad song to a dance track, and Mariah is the best at making those types of songs. It's also kinda weird how i became a Lamb 12 years ago without really paying attention to the lyrics of her songs and was only focused on her vocals instead. I only started to really pay attention to her lyrics around 3-4 years ago when i was 19.

    • @iamcontron
      @iamcontron  3 роки тому

      Haha amazing how without even fully grasping the lyrics, you felt drawn and connected to her music just off vocals and productions alone. I've had the same experience with music I loved when I was younger and then listening again as an adult and connecting on a whole nother level. Kinda makes the music feel brand new again ✨

  • @tlobrown5381
    @tlobrown5381 3 роки тому

    There is so much to say about this album. So underrated and undervalued but so good. This album was basically a catharsis album after Mariah's notorious breakdown of 2001 which is a long story for another time. Going into a new label this was the first album of that deal. Through the Rain is a major hit in the Phillipines and has been sung by some great Filipino singers. This album reached moderate success in the US but not as much as it deserved because Mariah served. Boy (I Need You) is an r&b adaptation of Cam'rons rap song Oh Boy which came out a year before. Mariah heard the production loved it and had to get in and make a rendition of her own. I think you might have skipped Yours but yours is vocal heaven. Clown is an Eminem diss track. That song is the prelude to her Obsessed track of 2009. I only wanted is part of what the lambs refer to as being the final parts of Mariahs trilogy. I only wanted is the final of a trilogy that includes I Don't Wanna Cry from her first album and My All from her Butterfly album. similar sounds and themes. Lullaby is the second part of her song The Roof from her Butterfly album. Similar sounds and themes. This album is fantastic and to think critics from this time were saying that Mariah lost her voice. But not only was Mariah's voice in it's second peak but the writing on this album is second only to Butterfly. The lyricism on this album is some of her best.

    • @iamcontron
      @iamcontron  3 роки тому

      I absolutely love the way she has song trilogies/continuations over the course of multiple albums. This is quite a way to bounce back after a breakdown.

She wrote a hanful of songs about him for Butterfly and obviously ran into him and wrote a couple more, lol! She refrences "the roof" cuz that one was about him and she wanted to let him know not to belive the rumors because a lot was said during the Glitter era. I still think they should have been together and especially after reading the book you can see how special thier timw was together for her.

    Tidbits: I'm not sure why the comment section is saying The One was supposed to be the debut. It wasn't. It was going to be the second single and fan demanded. Carey even made a music video for it. Clips were used in the Boy music video instead. The label screwed it up. At the last possible second, they switched the single from The One to Boy for the DUMBEST reason ever: too many acts had a single with the same name. So, what? Let the best title win! They didn't promote the fact it had been switched. Fans didn't know what was going on. We weren't sure if Boy was a promotional single or what, because T.O. was promoted for months. They just put out Boy, said nothing, released a video, and dropped it as single. It flopped. Fans were so mad they had record high of hand written complaints.
