The album received critical acclaim, topping the Billboard 200 and spawning #1 hits 'Honey' and 'My All.' After divorcing her husband, Mariah Carey made the classic ‘Butterfly’ album where she reflected on her childhood problems and insecurities. She went for a more R&B/Hip Hop sound and a sexier image, which didn't go down so well with her older fanbase. Remember when Mariah wore turtle necks? Her image was mostly controlled by her ex-husband who had full reigns to her career. Guess she said, ❝b*tch I'm a hot butterfly and I'm going to spread my wings and fly those clothes right off!❞
This was a time where Mariah totally tapped into her newfound freedom, and started hanging out with rappers (not just hanging out but frequently collaborating with them too!) With some considering this as her magnum opus, we were introduced to the new unapologetic, sexually, empowering Mariah Carey.
