Mariah’s classic 1983 album “Utakata no Hibi,” which was reissued in 2015, has seen a revival thanks to rediscovery by contemporary DJs, including those in Switzerland, particularly the track “Shinzō no Tobira.” The group also collaborated with artists such as Ryuichi Sakamoto and Haruomi Hosono.

Released in May 2013, this duet with Miguel drew attention as the lead single from the album “Me.

I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse.” Built on just clipped guitar and minimal rhythm, it exudes a vintage soul vibe.

Here, she intentionally reins in her upper-register power, opting for nuance and weaving an exquisite harmony with Miguel.

The stripped-down arrangement highlights how well their vocal tones complement each other.

It peaked at No.

15 in the U.S.

and reached the top 10 in Australia and New Zealand.

A perfect track for a calm afternoon unwind or as a driving soundtrack.

Even in the 2020s, when you think of a “global songstress,” Mariah Carey is still the first name that comes to mind.

In Japan as well, Mariah’s popularity and recognition are overwhelming.

When it comes to her Olympics-related songs, many might recall the historic classic “Hero,” which TBS used as its theme song during the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.

This time, let me introduce a track released in 2010 called “100%.” It may be less well known compared to “Hero,” but it was released as a promotional single to support Team USA at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, and it’s a hidden gem that was not included on any of her studio albums.

It’s an emotional ballad quintessentially Mariah, and the gospel-tinged chorus at the end along with her ultra-high notes are truly breathtaking.

As for what the title “100%” signifies, read the lyrics closely and discover its true meaning!

A cover of Phil Collins’s hit “Against All Odds” (Japanese title: “Mitsumete Hoshii”).

It’s a gentle, listenable ballad that reminds us that true classics never fade with time.

The version he sings as a duet with Westlife is wonderful as well.
