5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant song by Mariah. One of her standout performances, December 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Breakdown (Audio CD)

One of the songs included on Mariah's "Butterfly" CD, this is truely a brilliant song. The single includes the album version of "Breakdown" as well as some other mixes including a Radio version (which cuts out the Bone Thugs'n'Harmony rap in the middle), and a Bone Thugs mix which includes extra vocals and rhythms from the group. The song shows Mariah's incredible talent not only as a vocalist, but her brilliant rhythm and beat compositions, which in this song are remarkable. The lyrics float effortlessly over a smooth melody which is brought to life by the background vocals of Bone Thugs and Mariah herself. The lyrics relate to being on the receiving end of a realtionship breakup, and the efforts one goes to hide the pain "..Underneath the guise of a smile, gradually I'm dying inside..", which coming from Mariah, sounds very personal. Also on the single are a few "Honey" remixes by David Morales. These have heavy dance beats and are not really a showcase of the great song by Mariah, but rather a showcase of David's talent for cutting a good dance mix. If you like "Honey" I would strongly recommend the official "Honey" single which is also available here on Amazon.com This includes the Bad Boy remix which is greatly superior to the album version of the song, as Mase, Puff and others do their thing. Also on the Honey single are a few So So Def (Jermaine Dupri) mixes which are excellent.
