Mariah Carey - Glitter - OST (2001)

One of the best-selling female performers of all time, Mariah Carey rose to
superstardom on the strength of her stunning five-octave voice. An elastic
talent who has easily moved from glossy ballads to hip-hop-inspired
dance-pop throughout her career, she earned early comparisons to Whitney
Houston and Celine Dion, and did them both one better by co-writing almost
all of her own material from the start.

All four singles off her multi-platinum debut album, Mariah Carey (1990),
topped the Billboard Hot 100, beginning with "Vision of Love," which also
led to Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Performance,
Female. Each one of her proper studio albums, including the diamond
platinum releases Music Box (1993) and Daydream (1995), as well as the
Grammy-winning The Emancipation of Mimi (2005), has peaked within the Top
Five of the Billboard 200, promoted with smash-hit singles that either
pushed or adapted to contemporary pop production trends with solid
songwriting at the core.

By the time she released her 15th album, Caution (2018), Carey was one of
only six artists with two songs in the upper half of the Billboard Top
100's All-Time Hot 100 Songs (the record-breaking "One Sweet Day" and "We
Belong Together"). Two years after that album, Carey celebrated the 30th
anniversary of her debut with archival releases such as The Live Debut:
1990 and The Rarities.

Glitter is the soundtrack to the 2001 film of the same title and the eighth
studio album Carey. It was released on August 18, 2001, in Japan by Sony
Music and in the United States on September 11, 2001, by Virgin Records.
The album was a complete musical departure from any of Carey's previous
releases, focusing heavily on recreating a 1980s post-disco era to
accompany the film, set in 1983. By covering or heavily sampling several
older tunes and songs, Carey created Glitter as an album that would help
viewers connect with the film, as well as incorporating newly written
ballads.

The singer collaborated with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and DJ Clue, who
co-produced the album. Musically, Glitter was structured to be a
retro-influenced album and have more of a dance-oriented element. On
several songs, critics noted Carey to be more sexually suggestive lyrically
than before. Glitter featured several musical acts such as Eric Benét,
Ludacris, Da Brat, Busta Rhymes, Fabolous, and Ja Rule.

All tracks co-produced by Mariah Carey.
