Mariah Carey ft. Miguel - #Beautiful
- Artist: Mariah Carey
- Track: #Beautiful
- Feat. Miguel
- Producer: Mariah Carey and Miguel
- Album: None (Promo Single)
When two artists with vocal styles as powerful, yet disparate as those of pop veteran Mariah Carey and RCA Records hitmaker Miguel jump on a track together, there's no telling what will result—but you can safely bet that it's gonna be something #Beautiful. While Mimi gets first billing on this cut, the lead single off her next studio album, it's clearly a team effort. The beat, a reverb-soaked throwback to classic soul, is a joint creation by the artists themselves, and the Kaleidoscope Dream crooner takes center stage for the first half of the record. Carey steps into the spotlight on verse two, turning in a vocal performance that's electrifying even by her own lofty standards, as well as harmonizing with Miguel on the record's chorus. Mariah Carey's currently-untitled forthcoming full-length is scheduled for release this summer via Island Def Jam. In the meantime, fans can click here to purchase #Beautiful via iTunes.
