1999

His cliched, self-penned lyrics suggest a youth spent dodging tutors, and their fixation on trite surface thrills makes his soulman phrasing too mannered for the rote riffs he rides.

Charmbracelet

New York, NY, USA

Tempos plod, and hooks are few. Carey needs bold songs that help her use the power and range for which she is famous. "Charmbracelet" is like a stream of watercolors that bleed into a puddle of brown.
