“The idea was brought to me about doing a residency in Vegas and I just thought, ‘Hm, do we want to do that?’” Carey recalls. “I was going to do it in the traditional way. And then when I thought about doing the Celebration of Mimi and bringing back the songs — many of which I’d never performed — I just thought, ‘That’s the way to do it.’”with her debut single “Vision of Love,” released in 1990. “That’s why we did it the way we did it where we start at ‘Vision of Love’ in the black dress.
Her process was collaborative and intentional, as she hoped to strike a balance between her classic ballads and a more hip-hop-infused approach to R&B. “When you sit down and go through the wholeas an album, and go, ‘Some of these songs were a little bit more that way or a little bit more this way,’ it’s just really interesting,” she adds. “I love the album so much that it’s hard to pick it apart and go, ‘Oh, I like this part less than I like that part.’ It really is one unit.
