Review

Butterfly feels like Mariah Carey shaking off her pop princess armor and stepping into a bolder, more self-defined R&B and hip-hop-infused sound—songs born from heartbreak, freedom, and fierce reinvention. The classic ballads still register (“My All,” “Butterfly”), but it’s in the streetwise swagger of “Honey” and the soul-drenched grit of “Breakdown” where she claims control—and the spotlight—on her own terms.

Tracks like “The Roof” and “Babydoll” are quiet flexes of artistry: moody, richly textured, and dripping with emotional subtext. This is the version of Mariah that whispers as much as she soars—grounded in lyrical honesty, even when the melodies float. Even when she leans into glittering pop, it’s layered with purpose: she’s not just singing, she’s shedding.

Butterfly doesn’t always land with commercial perfection—but it’s Mariah’s most personal album, a milestone of independence and genre-bending ambition that still echoes today. - Amira
