Rainbow 25th Anniversary

Mariah Carey's Rainbow from 1999 captures her at peak vocal power across hip-hop influenced R&B, pop ballads, and club-ready dance tracks. The album features collaborations with Jay-Z, Usher, and Da Brat while showcasing Carey's five-octave range on both intimate slow jams and uptempo anthems.
