It is rare to see an artist put out an album almost three decades after they got their start that still manages to wow audiences. But then again, “rare” is just one of the words used to describe pop diva and music legend Mariah Carey.
The Elusive Chanteuse released her 15th studio album last night, Caution, to the universal praise of her fans. The album has received a number of positive reviews thus far, but the fervor of her “Lambily” has caused not just Caution, but the soundtrack to Carey’s 2001 rom-com Glitter to shoot up the iTunes charts overnight.
Needless to say, with so many of Carey’s fans spreading the word about her new album, a number of them took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
Here are just a few of our favorite Twitter reactions to Mariah Carey’s Caution:
Mariah Carey sampled HER GOD DAMN SELF on a song and I’m…bald doesn’t even begin. #MariahCaution

Mariah Carey is so extra she sings “extra” and it’s a nine-syllable word.

The best part about Caution is the production.
All y’all mediocre ass R&B girls should really listen and learn.
Mariah Carey sat down, chose great producers and executed in the way you supposed to
This is how R&B is supposed to sound in 2018
