In May of 1990 Long Island native Mariah Carey “realized a dream, and visualized the love that came to be“.  “Vision of Love,” her “first single – ever,” was released in advance of her self-titled debut album. “Vision of Love” spent 4 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 that summer, the longest run of any song that year. Lyrically “Vision of Love” seems to be a love song about finding a soul mate, and in fact the NY Daily News named it one of the 100 greatest love songs. Carey has said, though, that the song was written in reaction to struggling for a while and then landing a record deal. Musically the song opens with some sci-fi-like synths before moving into electric piano chords that Sasha Frere-Jones of The New Yorker describes as “reminiscent of early Billy Joel.”

If I understand correctly, Mariah isnt that happy with her career before 1998. Whoever produced the song and decided to be the first single is the true inspiration for Beyonce, Rihanna, Kelly.

Mariah has had iconic, impactful songs, this is not one of it since no one ever talks about except for stans or people caught up in perpetual nostalgia.

Several major artists have mentioned the song as an influence. I'm sure @Clean can talk more about it.

I'm not a woman. I'm not a man. I am something that you'll never understand.

Except for the part where Mariah co-wrote the song and vocally slayed it.
