One of the most important albums ever recorded by one of music’s greatest voices, this was an honour I can only hope I did justice to.

#GeorgeMichael and #ListenWithoutPrejudice Vol.1 are cornerstones of pop music — and of culture itself.

Mariah Carey’s ‘The Emancipation of Mimi’ Turns 20 | Album Anniversary
Two decades later, the album’s impact reverberates less as a narrative of recovery and more as a meticulously constructed reassertion of artistry, control, and creative sovereignty.
