Mariah Carey’s fifth album balances big ballads like the heaven-gazing Boyz II Men duet “One Sweet Day” and the Journey tear-jerker “Open Arms” with fizzy, feather-light pop that takes cues from hip-hop. “Fantasy”, which pivots on a sample from Tom Tom Club’s “Genius of Love”, shows off Mariah’s lighter side, her joyful vocal energising its electro-funk hiccups. The gospel-tinged “Always Be My Baby” struts even as it sighs about a lost love.
