Billboard named her the Artist of the Decade (1990s), while the World Music Awards honored her as the Best Selling Female Pop Artist of the Millennium.Īfter eleven consecutive years charting a U.S. After separating from Mottola, Carey adopted a new image and incorporated more elements of hip hop into her music with the release of Butterfly (1997). These albums spawned some of her most successful singles, including " Hero", " Without You", " All I Want for Christmas Is You", " Fantasy", " Always Be My Baby", as well as " One Sweet Day", which topped the US Billboard Hot 100 decade-end chart (1990s).

Known for her five-octave vocal range, melismatic singing style, and signature use of the whistle register, she is referred to as the " Songbird Supreme" and the "Queen of Christmas".
The answer to getting through these unprecedented times may be to listen to a good pop song and to take Carey’s lyrics to heart: when you feel like hope (and your friends, family and social life) is gone, “look inside you and be strong.” And yes, you’ll finally see the truth, that a self-quarantining, homebody hero really does lie in you.Mariah Carey ( / m ə ˈ r aɪ ə/ born March 27, 1969) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and producer. The singer-songwriter seems to be working on new music as well - she posted a photo of herself in the studio on her “anniversary” last month with the caption, “new song.”Īnd while members of the “Lambily” are now campaigning for Carey to release a new version of her underrated 2002 self-help ballad, “ Through the Rain,” it seems there couldn’t be a more appropriate song for self-isolation right now than “Hero.” As Carey croons on the song, “It’s a long road when you face the world alone and no one reaches out a hand for you to hold.” Carey sang a memorable version of “Always Be My Baby” on Elton John’s “ Living Room Concert for America” telethon last month.įresh off the end of her Vegas residency, Carey has been quarantining at home with her twins, Moroccan and Monroe, and the once-“ elusive chanteuse” has been active on social media, retweeting words of gratitude for nurses and medical professionals, and sending messages of encouragement to fans in affected countries. The new recording of “Hero” marks the second time Carey has given an at-home performance since the coronavirus outbreak forced millions of people to stay indoors.
Her peak performance though, may still be this 1996 event, where Carey paid tribute to police officers killed in the line of duty with an octave-defying performance that left even then-President Bill Clinton misty-eyed. Carey also performed “Hero” in front of President Obama, during his inaugural ball in 2009 (it was reportedly one of Obama’s favorite songs to listen to during his campaign). Of course “Hero,” taken from the 1993 album, Music Box, is undoubtedly Carey’s signature song the singer has performed the inspirational ballad on a number of occasions, including a benefit concert following the September 11th attacks, and for the 2005 revival of Live 8.
