Recommend an album.
I am about to begin a week of vacation, so I promise to listen to them all.
Here is my Spotify profile, I& #39;m not on Facebook anymore but I like the social aspect of Spotify, seeing what my friends are listening to and such. I have some playlists, too many of which have too much Pearl Jam. https://open.spotify.com/user/sncreducer?si=6w3zW1lEQ-CpTGHYCpXGYQ">https://open.spotify.com/user/sncr...
You guys are wonderful, btw. My week off is gonna be filled with music I& #39;ve never listened to (and in many cases never heard of) before.
Finishing the album I had already started when I posted this tweet: https://open.spotify.com/album/4RoOGpdrgfiIUyv0kLaC4e?si=9mbfMEiiRbyuvJC-ZcdpyA">https://open.spotify.com/album/4Ro... fell in love with this one very quickly, very hooky. i& #39;ve seen live clips and i& #39;m not sure it fully translates on stage, but it doesn& #39;t need to to me.
:extremely DJ voice:
OK, let& #39;s go back to 1990, when a young woman with a huge voice rocketed to the top of the charts with "Vision of Love," beginning a career that would make her one of the biggest solo artists of all time. Thanks @ciruelas_rojas! https://open.spotify.com/album/5SwNGsGw1I8H361DKiYnnn?si=aCEZVizlSQa4HQbIdOoGFg">https://open.spotify.com/album/5Sw...

"Vision of Love" is just a perfect pop song. It& #39;s obviously the product of a lot of session work, engineering and assembly, but I imagine when Mariah hit some of those runs and high notes, Clive Davis was like man, we are about to print some money.
hmmm but is this like einstein helping the bomb get made?
oooooooh "I Don& #39;t Wanna Cry" is putting me in the wayback machine, bigtime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfG1qwl-Zho">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
definitely remember "Someday" too, even though I haven& #39;t listened to this album since the 90s. did I have it or did my sister? or do I just know all the singles from MTV, which was a huge presence at the time?
oh nevermind i think just had a huge crush on mariah carey like approximately 100 trillion other people at the time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RWfSUWVP2I">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
this album is very of its moment (1990) with the slow-jam feel of a lot of these songs, but it& #39;s A-material all the way through. easy to see why it stayed in the top 20 for a year and change (!!!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3mQ11AQfL4">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
mariah just throwing off crazy high notes in the closing seconds of the song now because she can. they actually seem to minimize them in the production. i wonder if they wanted to emphasize her humanity instead of her superhuman voice.
i imagine mariah carey and taylor dayne having a knife fight over "prisoner" when a brain trust of songwriters comes up with it in 1989
extremely 1990 rap breakdown in the middle there, i& #39;m glad mariah left it to actual rappers going forward

Ace has always had a laconic flow. When he& #39;s really winding up, it starts to feel like Gangstarr to me.
