With no compelling commercial reason to vary her formula, Mariah Carey, the Nora Roberts of Pop, returns with more romance, more ballads (notably a cover of Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is"), a shorter dress and an army of the world's top hip-hop beatmakers to ensure that there's not a single underproduced moment. Expect sales to be vigorous.
