Early buzz on ‘The Emancipation of Mimi’ predicted that this would be the disc to mark ‘the return of the voice’ – the voice being that glass-shattering instrument that propelled Carey to the bestselling female artist of all-time status. But because of the small army of talent involved in its assembly, the album is way more than just a comeback vehicle. For proof, try straight-ahead, look-out-Beyonce-Mimi’s-still-got-it ‘Mine Again,’ or ’70s-soul cuddle-up, ‘Circles:’ a don’t-attempt-on-American-Idol love song, or the gospel dazzlers ‘Fly Like a Bird’ and ‘Stay the Night’. Snoop Dogg, Pharrell Williams and Jermaine Dupri also pitch in; between them and the highwire vocals, ‘Emancipation’ works the kind of pure-pop magic that sets us all free.
