"Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" sees one of the greatest singers of our generation in Mariah Carey return to her classic beginnings similiar early albums "Music Box" and "Butterfly". Memoirs has a lot ballads that Mariah fans love and having been begging for along with several uptempo joints so you get the best of both worlds with this album. "Memoirs" isn't littered with features like Mariah's previous albums and there is only one in the form of the "Obsessed" Remix with Gucci Mane, so "Memoirs" is strictly an intimate affair with just Mariah.
The standout tracks on Memoirs is the slow ballad and single in "H.A.T.E.U.", "Inseparable" which has Mariah showing off her high ranging octives on this airy track, "It's A Wrap" shows her versatile singing ability and she even uses the word "acquiescent" in the song (ummm Who does that?), and my favorite track on the album in "Angels Cry" which is Mariah at her best singing a beautiful ballad.
"Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" is a classic old school female r&b album and reminds of good ol days. Mariah shows she can still take it back to her humble beginnings and with that "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" is one of the better r&b albums of the year and probably the best of the year by a female.
