How to write a song like MARIAH CAREY

Hey y'all I'm back to show you how to write a song like Mariah Carey.
I really wanted a Jermaine Dupri inspired beat since he produced most of TEOM & E=MC2 but I couldn't find any good ones online. I got something close to Mariah's style so hopefully y'all like it.

[@hezekiahtyler4307]

please do brandy!!

[@LamHoang-dp6ui]

I think the style is not very Mariah, to me it sounds more like an Ariana Grande's song. And usually Mariah's songs are full of background vocals so they sound kinda complex and somewhat overwhelming xD. But your song is amazing and the vocals are on fire tho :D

[@daydream10.18]

Agreed.

[@QuiteStorm2003]

I love you for this!!! Do 2000s Beyoncé next pls

[@irisilani]

I’ll add that to my list. Thanks love!! 💖

[@r0mancypher]

[@irisilani]

I haven’t heard of these artists but I’m gonna check them out

[@richardlanier949]
