My cousin was jamming out to Mariah Carey yesterday and I hope that Mariah's impeccable cover of "I Still Believe" was included on his mix as it's one of Carey's sublime joints in her vast discography. With that said after the jump you can take a listen to Mariah Carey's cover of Brenda K. Starr's hit "I Still Believe."
Lifted from her #1s
album back in 1999, Carey re-recorded the song as a tribute to Starr, as she had been Starr's background singer in the late 1980s and Starr actually helped jump start Carey's career by handing a demo tape to then Sony Music Entertainment executive Tommy Mottola, who then signed Carey's first recording contract. With that said, take a listen to Mariah Carey's sublime rendition of "I Still Believe" below and Enjoy!
Everything about this remake is perfection!
ReplyDeleteThe best things about a Mariah Carey ballad are in place: lyrics intimate & heartfelt, production elegant & smooth, voice beautiful & soulful Her mad skills with exquisite melancholy never sounded so good, and this highlight is arguably her best cover.
