About
Going into <i>Daydream</i>, Mariah Carey was living a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby. Not only had 1993’s <i>Music Box</i> become the dahling diva’s best-selling album to date, it also came hot on the heels of her hit holiday LP, 1994’s <i>Merry Christmas</i>, which would give her the gift that keeps on giving in “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” But while her octave-bounding brand had been built on big ballads like “Vision of Love,” “Love Takes Time,” and “Hero,” she was itching to break free of the adult-contemporary chains to which she had been shackled from the time she was barely 21. After flirting with hip-hop on <i>Music Box</i>’s “Dreamlover,” she embraced the genre born in her native New York even tighter on the diamond-selling <i>Daydream</i>, released in 1995. The album’s first single, “Fantasy,” rode a genius sample of Tom Tom Club’s “Genius of Love” all the way to No. 1—as did the bittersweet smash “Always Be My Baby,” which featured Atlanta street beatmaster Jermaine Dupri behind the board. .
