Butterfly review

"Honey" may still be lingering in the hearts of many, but Columbia is wisely beginning to stoke the flames of early interest in the title cut from La C's fine new collection. While "Honey" had a natural edge of adventure, the lovely "Butterfly" is classic Carey, from its gospel-kissed ballad instrumentation and choir chants to the diva's soaring, glass-shattering performance.

This should not imply, however, that she is covering crusty old ground. The notable maturity in her lyrics and worldly warmth of her vocal reflect the growth that she has continually strived to attain. The fact that it's placed in a mildly familiar package that Carey's faithful followers will be quick to embrace is only a bonus.
