He pensado lo mismo JJ23
Estoy leyendo un artículo muy interesante sobre Mariah (del 99)... y aunque no venga demasiado a cuento voy a poner unos cuantos quotes porque la verdad es que son muy interesantes:
"I remember having so many meetings with my record company about releasing more of an illustration of my work in order to show fans who maybe only bought singles what I'm about, especially with the ballads doing so well. But their thoughts were that stylistically different singles could 'confuse' the core audience. I know how rounded I am musically but it was everyone else that was banging on about the pop diva."
That must have been dispiriting - being unable to assert and reflect exactly who you are. "It's more than dispiriting," she says with sombre weight,
"to leave your home to go to the record company to have meetings with the same person you come home with."<- Sobre Tommy Motola
"It's funny… when you mention dating fans, even they can be successful individuals in their own fields who started out as fans and you date them and you think about them and care about them, for them.(smile) But they're still looking at 'the artist'… Because I don't walk around thinking of myself that way, I don't understand it."
"See I was in a situation where I was vulnerable… I mean, I don't know if you get that impression of me, but I meet a lot of famous people and a lot of them are like, so into their own world. I try to be real, so it's hard when you're a vulnerable person and people don't necessarily see that; they may be blinded by what you do, who you are… it depends," she smiles naughtily, "it could be a fan."
"I did a feature for Interview magazine, a 20 most important entertainers or whatever. My friend and I looked at it when it was published. I was happy with it, but I looked at the credit next to it. It said 'Mariah Carey: singer'. On the next page it had Mary J Blige: singer/songwriter. On the page after that it had Puffy: rapper, entrepreneur, popstar. Jewel: poet, singer, da-da-duh-duh…
I'm like, 'You know what? How many albums do I have to write every single frigging song on to get some credit?' And I don't know if it's because people perceive me as this vocalist with a big range and most of those people tend to not write their songs and they don't want to acknowledge that…"
"Fortunately I think, I hope, that people understand that this is the music I love and I love all types of music and I've tried to integrate a lot of different things on this album. I've a lot of collaborations on it, but that's not me trying to become hip to the scene… I co-produce all my own work. I work with a producer in the studio when I'm singing, but that's it.
Prince is saying to me that he can teach me how to operate the studio entirely. I know how to punch-in vocals if I was producing for someone else, but I don't know how to do it for myself. Anyway, co-producing is the only way I could incorporate all the styles I wanted to work with on this LP. <- ESTO VA PARA TI, DS
