Carey began recording her second studio album, Emotions, in
1991. She described it as a homage to Motown soul music, as she felt the need
to pay tribute to the type of music that had influenced her as a child. For the
project, Carey worked with Walter Afanasieff, who only had a small role on her
debut, as well as Robert Clavicles and David Cole, from the dance group C+C
Music Factory. Carey’s relationship with Margulies deteriorated over a personal
contract Carey had signed with him before signing the record deal with
Columbia, agreeing to split not only the songwriting royalties form the songs,
but half of her earnings as well. However, when the time came to write music
for Emotions, Sony officials made it clear he would only be paid the fair
amount given to co-writers on an album. Margulies later filed a lawsuit against
Sony which ultimate led to their parting of ways. An emotion was released pm
September 17, 1991, and was accepted by critics as a more mature album than its
predecessor. While praised for Carey’s improved songwriting, production, and
new sound, the album was criticized for its material, thought weaker than that
of her debut. Through the album managed sales of over eight million copies
globally, Emotions failed to reach the commercial and critical heights of its
predecessor.
The man is talking with her.
Good job carey.
