Caution is the fifteenth studio album by American R&B singer Mariah Carey. It was released on November 16, 2018, by Epic Records, her final release with the label. Her first studio album in four years, Carey collaborated with Ty Dolla Sign, Slick Rick, Blood Orange, and Gunna on the album's songs and worked with a variety of producers. Musically, Caution is a R&B, pop and hip hop record. The album was supported by the singles "With You" and "A No No".

Contents

The album achieved modest success, debuting and peaking at number 5 on the US Billboard 200, with 51,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. It also reached the top forty in Australia, Canada, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom. The album received critical acclaim, with many critics calling it Carey's most cohesive work in over a decade, and appeared on several year-end music lists of 2018. Carey embarked on the Caution World Tour in support of the album.

In 2022, the song "Runway" from the album's Japanese Edition was release onto all streaming platforms as a re-issue of the album. And in May 2024, she re-released "Portrait" as an EP with three remixes.

Background

After Carey's fourteenth studio album, Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse , [6] Carey secured a multi-album record deal with Epic in January 2015, a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment. [7] She subsequently came out with her sixth compilation album, #1 to Infinity , which includes its first and only single "Infinity" and a residency deal to perform at The Colosseum at the Caesars Palace hotel in Las Vegas. [8] In 2017, Carey released the single "I Don't", featuring American rapper YG, which peaked at number eighty-nine on the US Billboard Hot 100. [9] Carey also released the song "The Star", from the soundtrack for the movie of the same name, and was nominated in the Best Original Song category at the 75th Golden Globe Awards. [10]

In January 2018, Carey confirmed that she had begun work on a new album. [11] In a March 2018 interview with Vanity Fair, Carey stated that she had recently begun work on the album. [12] Carey finished the album in August 2018 when she recorded the title track "Caution". [13] [14] The track inspired Carey to change the record's original title "Portrait" to its official title "Caution". [13]

Music and lyrics

Sure there are love songs and moments of inward reflection, but the majority of the tracks are kiss-offs aimed at those who have doubted her or left her scorned... While big, emotional ballads were the groundwork of Carey’s early years, there is only one truly heavy moment on the album: final song "Portrait." Following the lyrical curves, R&B coos and stellar production, it’s a starkly heavy moment that feels like a throwback to a bygone era of power ballads for vocalists of her calibre.

 — Brittany Spanos, Rolling Stone

Consisting of 10 songs and two additional tracks featured exclusively on its Japanese issue, Caution is an R&B, [1] [2] hip hop [5] and pop [3] [4] record that incorporates elements of EDM, [15] psychedelia [16] and Latin pop. [17] Jumi Akinfenwa from Clash Magazine views the album as a "homage to the sounds prevalent at different stages of her [Mariah's] career". [18] Mike Wass from Idolator hailed it as being "the new blueprint for legacy acts" such as Carey. [19]

Writing for NOW Magazine , Kevin Hegge remarked that "despite the variety of styles, the most notable element of the album was its succinctness". [20] Hegge further juxtaposed Carey's "collaborations with a handful of hot artists and producers" with the fact that she wasn't "pandering to trends" in her music. Similarly, Andrew Unterberger from Billboard summarized Caution as being "a resolutely mid tempo album", praising the production for being "uniform but not stagnant" in its "lush chillness and steady trending". [21] Within his review, Unterberger took note of the "incredible roster of producers" credited on the album, describing them as "bending their trademark sonics" to fit into Carey's "pop-n-B comfort zone". Winston Cook-Wilson from Spin described the album's production as being the apotheosis of "trends in contemporary R&B music, absent its glitchier, experimental tendencies"; [22] he did cite the track "Giving Me Life" as a notable exception to this rule.

Thematically, Caution has been described as "a concept album about relationships", featuring "songs about them falling apart, bops about new love and others that celebrate something more lasting". [23] Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly similarly interpreted the album as being "a study in various degrees of incline". [16] Nick Smith from MusicOMH felt that Carey was "at her most ethereal and reflective" [24] on Caution, commenting that its overall narrative focused on the relationship the singer has with herself. [24]

Composition

The album opens with "GTFO", described as a "ghostly, tender record with a magnetic rhythm". [25] Its EDM-influenced instrumentation is based around a sample of "Goodbye to a World" by Porter Robinson. [26] In the song, Carey focuses on the aftermath of "a doomed relationship", her vocal delivery adding "a gratifying edge to the song’s delightful kiss-off hook". [27] As noted by the critic Sal Cinquemani in a review for Slant Magazine , "beneath Mariah’s nonchalant delivery and kitschy patois... belies a heaviness that's perhaps informed by the song's apocalyptic source material". [28] "With You" is a "velvety" classic R&B/soul ballad "built from little more than gospel piano and booming 808s". [29] Its lyrics tell the story of a woman seeking safety and security in her potential partner's promises of unconditional love, with Carey viewing "romance with an open-eyed caginess". [30]

The title-track "Caution" is a "sleek, pop-R&B hybrid", [23] presenting Carey "on the amber traffic light; vulnerable and tentative, yet honest and hopeful about embarking on a new journey". [24] Within the song, she considers the ephemerality of her current relationship before warning her lover to "proceed with caution", conflating the triviality of factors such as "material possessions" with her desire for her lover to "commit" to being her "everything". [31] "A No No" is a "jagged, jazzy" hip hop track which "channels the spirit...and cadences...of TLC's "No Scrubs" while Carey exterminates "snakes in the grass" before musing on "the fact that no is the same across languages" in the song's bridge. [30] The track itself notably contains a sample from "Rain Dance" by the Jeff Lorber Fusion, and "Crush on You" by Lil' Kim featuring The Notorious B.I.G. and Lil Cease. [32] "The Distance" featuring Ty Dolla Sign is described as being "sleek, slow funk", with Carey speaking out against the detractors who doubted her relationship with her lover would "go the distance", setting the song during the "warm days" and "cold nights" of "late October". [33]

"Giving Me Life", featuring Slick Rick and Blood Orange, is a psychedelia-inspired track that sees Carey admit that "a summertime love has her thinking back to being 17 and "feeling myself like I'm Norma Jeane". [34] Lasting six minutes and 8 seconds, "she entices a lover to follow her "on another tangent" within a "big, dusky [musical] landscape" [35] which eventually "dissolves into woozy, guitar-laced spaciousness" [34] towards the end of the song. "One Mo' Gen" is a "bedroom anthem" that "evokes 90's R&B without sounding dated"; [36] it sees Carey "throb with desire" over her and her lover's sexual chemistry. [37] The Timbaland-produced "8th Grade" is an "old-school R&B" [36] song where Carey "coos over crisp digital fingersnaps and mentholated synths", [34] expressing an angst towards her lover's motivations.

The Gunna-assisted "Stay Long Love You" weaves "retro influences into a modern sound palette" containing heavy trap inflections, with Carey expressing desire through "a slightly quicker tempo and party vibe". [38] Album-closer "Portrait" has been described as a "slow burning and vintage Mariah ballad". [39] It sees the singer reveal "the inner emotional tension of having her own crosses to bear but wanting to keep them hidden from the world". [40]

Mariah Carey is the debut studio album by American R&B singer Mariah Carey, released on June 12, 1990, by Columbia Records. Its music incorporates a range of contemporary genres with a mix of slow ballads and up-tempo tracks. Originally, Carey wrote four songs with Ben Margulies, which solely constituted her demo tape. After Carey was signed to Columbia, all four songs, after being altered and partially re-recorded, made the final cut for the album. Aside from Margulies, Carey worked with a range of professional writers and producers, all of whom were hired by Columbia CEO, Tommy Mottola. Mariah Carey featured production and writing from Rhett Lawrence, Ric Wake and Narada Michael Walden, all of whom were top record producers at the time. Together with Carey, they conceived the album and reconstructed her original demo tape.

<i>Daydream</i> (Mariah Carey album) 1995 studio album

Throughout the project, Carey collaborated with Walter Afanasieff, with whom she wrote and produced most of her previous albums. With Daydream, Carey took more control over the musical direction as well as the album's composition. Carey considered the album to be the beginning of her musical and vocal transition, a change that would become more evident in her sixth studio album Butterfly (1997). During the album's production, Carey endured many creative differences with her label and then-husband Tommy Mottola. On Daydream, Carey collaborated with Jermaine Dupri, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, and R&B group Boyz II Men. With Afanasieff's assistance and the addition of a few contemporary producers, she was able to make a subtle transition into the contemporary R&B market, after previously only pursuing pop, adult contemporary and traditional R&B music.

The song was written by Carey, Charles Hinshaw, Dijon McFarlane and Greg Lawary, with Carey and DJ Mustard also producing it. The song was announced on October 2, along with its single artwork. A "velvety" ballad with a finger-snap beat and warm piano, the song's lyrics center around a woman seeking safety and security and her partner promising his love.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">A No No</span> 2019 single by Mariah Carey

"A No No" is a song by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey from her fifteenth studio album, Caution (2018). The song was written by Carey, Robert "Shea" Taylor, Priscilla Hamilton, Mason Betha and Camron Giles. Since the track samples Lil' Kim's "Crush on You" (1997), songwriting credits were added for a total of nine. Digitally released as a promotional single in November 2018, Epic Records serviced it to rhythmic contemporary and urban contemporary radio as the second single from the album on March 4, 2019. "A No No" is a hip hop and R&B song with a blithely dismissive chorus and frisky beat. The song failed to chart on the US Hot 100 or any major international music chart. Its parent album Caution would sell approximately 80,000 units globally, falling off many international music album charts after only one or two weeks. The album became Carey's lowest-selling studio album. Epic Records would depart ways with Carey after the release of this album.

<i>The Rarities</i> (Mariah Carey album) 2020 compilation album by Mariah Carey

The Rarities is the eighth compilation album by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey, released on October 2, 2020, by Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings. It is a part of "#MC30", a promotional campaign marking the 30th anniversary of Carey's self-titled debut studio album, Mariah Carey (1990), and coincides with her memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey (2020). Featuring a mix of b-sides and previously unreleased material "with personal relevance and meaning" to Carey—some of which are discussed in her memoir—the album also includes a second disc consisting of audio from her March 7, 1996, live performance at the Tokyo Dome during her Daydream World Tour. A Blu-ray disc featuring enhanced video footage from the concert was released exclusively in Japan.
