| | Mariah Carey Issues an 'Emancipation' Proclamation: BMI MusicWorld® Feature Story |
 | | With The Emancipation of Mimi, Mariah Carey repudiates the rumor mills, negates the naysayers and opens up her voice and soul to blaze a sensational return to the pinnacle of the charts. |
 | | This new found freedom, or “emancipation” as evidenced in the title, is given an emphatic dictionary definition on the CD booklet, “To free from the restraint, control, oppression, or power of another.” As she nails a door shut on the past, her lyrics proclaim the autonomy of her new life. |
 | | It was too close to my life.” A well-publicized break from her next record label, Virgin, and recovery from exhaustion kept Carey in the trades and tabloids, if not on the charts, but even her record sale doldrums were relative. |
