Mariah Carey

" Can't Let Go " is a song recorded by Mariah Carey (pictured) for her second album Emotions . Columbia Records released it as the album's second single in November 1991. Featuring synthesizers and drum programming, "Can't Let Go" is an R&B and pop slow jam that describes post-breakup sadness. Carey's vocal range spans more than three octaves; her delivery is predominantly breathy and in a low register, with whistle notes in the song's introduction and ending. Critics considered "Can't Let Go" a vocal showcase for Carey but gave the composition mixed reviews. It peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and ended her streak of five consecutive number-one songs. It was her lowest-charting single in Australia, New Zealand, and the Netherlands at the time, but peaked within the top ten on sales and airplay charts in Canada and at number twenty in the United Kingdom. Jim Sonzero directed the music video, which depicts Carey singing alone in an empty house. ( Full article... )
