MUSIC BOX -REISSUE-

Vinyl LP pressing including digital download. Digitally remastered. Music Box is the third studio album by Mariah Carey. It was originally released on August 31, 1993. The album comprises ballads primarily written by Carey and Walter Afanasieff, with whom she had previously worked on Emotions (1991), and a few urban dance tracks. During the course of the album's development, Carey wanted to broaden her audience, choosing a more pop/R&B oriented sound. During this time frame, she experimented with different musical instruments, leading the album's sound away from her more contemporary previous two efforts.
