高树玛丽亚在线观看
Whether it’s for some of the most iconic songs that never age like Always Be My Baby, or hitting notes higher than the heavens, or for the inevitability of All I Want for Christmas is You at the first sign of winter, or even for spawning a whole sub-genre of memes, we all know and love Mariah Carey.
无论是因为某些永不衰老的最具标志性的歌曲(例如“ 永远成为我的宝贝”) ,还是比天上高的音符响起,还是因为圣诞节的一切我都想在冬天的第一个征兆中成为您 ,甚至是为了生成模因的整个子流派,我们都知道并爱着玛丽亚·凯里(Mariah Carey)。
Songbird Supreme, Queen of Pop, Queen of R&B, Queen of Melisma, Queen of Christmas, and most importantly Queen of the Lambs, are just some of the titles she goes by, and rightly so, as she has continued to set and break records over a career spanning over 20 years. To say the least, she has topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts with 19 songs, more than any solo artist ever, and is the first ever artist to have a #1 in 4 different decades. Aside from her accomplishments as a singer, she has written and produced almost all of the songs on her albums (18 out of 19 of the aforementioned #1s were penned by her), making her one of the most prolific musicians in the industry of all time.
Songbird Supreme,流行音乐皇后,R&B皇后,Melisma皇后,圣诞节皇后,以及最重要的是羔羊皇后,都是她所获得的一些头衔,而如此,因为她继续创造并打破记录在超过20年的职业生涯中。 至少可以说,她以19首歌曲荣登Billboard Hot 100排行榜榜首,这是有史以来任何一位独奏歌手所无法比拟的,并且是有史以来首位在四个不同十年中排名第一的歌手。 除了作为歌手的成就外,她还创作并制作了专辑中的几乎所有歌曲(在上述19个第一名中有18个是她创作的),使她成为了该行业中最多产的音乐家之一时间。
Her songs have shone a universal light in times of desolation, her vocal stylings and songcraft have inspired a new generation of singer-songwriters, her passion for remixes has shaped how R&B and hip-hop fuse seamlessly with mainstream pop today — we let the numbers tell the story for her.
她的歌声在荒凉的时刻闪耀着普遍的光芒,她的嗓音风格和歌曲创作激发了新一代歌手创作者的灵感,她对混音的热情决定了R&B和嘻哈音乐如何与当今主流流行音乐无缝融合-我们让数字为她讲故事。
Higher than the Heavens Above
高于天上
Mariah Carey’s debut single Vision of Love was released in 1990 and immediately catapulted her into the upper echelons of the music world. She was the youngest person ever at the time to be nominated in the Big Four categories (Record, Song, Album and Best New Artist) at the Grammy awards, winning Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Performance for Vision of Love. With recognition from the industry cementing her status as a musician, her subsequent 3 singles from her first album were also commercial successes, topping the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
玛丽亚·凯莉(Mariah Carey)的首张单曲《爱情的幻象》( Vision of Love )于1990年发行,并立即将她推向了音乐界的高层。 她是当时被格莱美奖提名的四大唱片(唱片,歌曲,专辑和最佳新人)提名中最年轻的人,并因爱情观而获得最佳新人和最佳流行声乐表演奖。 凭借业界认可,巩固了她作为音乐家的地位,她随后发行的第一张专辑中的三首单曲也取得了商业上的成功,荣登Billboard Hot 100排行榜榜首。
Plotting Mariah Carey’s chart history, her albums have consistently churned out hit after hit with the exception of 2018’s critically acclaimed Caution which saw her at her most adventurous and innovative with her voice, songwriting and choice of collaborators. The most striking thing about this chart is clearly the success of All I Want for Christmas is You which was originally released in 1994 but finally topped the charts in 2019 and held its spot while ushering in 2020.
绘制玛丽亚·凯里(Mariah Carey)的唱片历史,她的专辑一再受到热捧,除了2018年广受好评的《 小心》(Caution)之外 ,她的嗓音,歌曲创作和合作者选择都是她最冒险和最具创新精神的。 这张图表最引人注目的事情显然是《圣诞节我想要的一切都是你》的成功,该专辑最初于1994年发布,但最终在2019年荣登榜首,并在迎接2020年时保持了领先地位。
Image by author 图片作者Given her dominance on the charts, it begs the question of whether Mariah Carey was a trailblazer or simply had her pulse on the pop ecosystem at the time. As a proxy, we use Spotify’s audio features to distinguish the characteristics of her songs against other songs which were also in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 songs 6 months before and after she hit number 1.
考虑到她在排行榜上的主导地位,这使玛丽亚·凯里(Mariah Carey)是开拓者还是当时只是在流行生态系统中占据一席之地的问题。 作为代理,我们使用Spotify的音频功能来区分她的歌曲与其他歌曲的特性,这些歌曲在她排在第1位之前和之后的6个月均在Billboard Hot 100首歌曲中排名前10位。
In the charts below, we plot the average acousticness, danceability, energy, instrumentalness, liveness, speechiness and valence of the other top 10 songs in the relevant periods against Mariah’s number 1s.
在下面的图表中,我们绘制了相关时期内其他前10首歌曲相对于Mariah的1s的平均声学,舞蹈性,能量,器乐性,活泼性,言语和化合价。
Image by author 图片作者 Image by author 图片作者Interestingly, the only two Mariah Carey songs that are within the averages of the other songs at the time are Vision of Love and We Belong Together. Both of these songs were at pivotal moments of her career, with Vision of Love being her debut single and We Belong Together cementing her comeback and continued reign.
有趣的是,当时玛丽亚·凯里(Mariah Carey)仅有的两首歌曲在其他歌曲的平均值之内,是《爱的视觉》和《 我们属于一起》 。 这两首歌都是她事业上的关键时刻, 《爱的梦想》是她的处女作,《 We Belong Together》巩固了她的复出并继续统治。
A majority of her earlier songs had higher acoustic scores, slightly lower danceability, energy and valence scores compared to its peers. This coincides with the early focus of the production on her technical mastery of her voice. In addition, as many of Mariah’s songs touch on love and heartbreak, the lower valence scores tell us that people turn to her to seek solace in times of need, and that this aspect of her music was one of the reasons for her popularity at the outset of her career. While Mariah was clearly in tune with the sound of the moment following the release of The Emancipation of Mimi, this period also saw her tap into the different timbres of her voice more confidently and creatively to achieve a more understated, but no less effective delivery of tension and release.
与同龄人相比,她的大部分早期歌曲具有更高的声学得分,可跳舞性,活力和化合价得分。 这与制作早期专注于声音的技术掌握相吻合。 此外,由于玛丽亚(Mariah)的许多歌曲都涉及爱情和伤心欲绝,较低的配乐分数告诉我们,人们在有需要时会求助于她,以寻求慰藉,而她音乐的这一方面是她在音乐节上受欢迎的原因之一。她职业生涯的开始。 虽然玛丽亚(Mariah)显然与《 咪咪的解放 》发行后的那一刻相吻合 ,但在这一时期,她也更加自信和创造性地利用了自己声音的不同音色,从而实现了低调但有效的传递紧张和释放。
She Came to Have a Party
她来参加派对
Despite being one of the most prolific songwriters of all time, Mariah Carey does not receive nearly half the credit she deserves, having only been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2020. Known for being a prodigious topliner, she has assembled a growing list of writers and producers to achieve her creative vision.
尽管玛丽亚·凯里(Mariah Carey)是有史以来最多产的词曲作家之一,但她并没有获得应得的荣誉,她只是在2020年才被选入词曲作家名人堂。她以出色的抄袭者而著称,她的名单越来越多作家和制片人实现她的创造力。
Image by author 图片作者From the plot above, we see how she started off her career with a small number of close collaborators and which eventually evolved to having 40 other writers listed as she worked with an increasingly diverse array of talent. For Mariah Carey, she tapped into the trove of songs she had written with Ben Margulies in high school and through her label, enlisted the help of Walter Afanasieff to produce. Due to the album’s success, her label gave her more creative freedom to seek out new directions in her later albums. Daydream marked the start of her gaining control over incorporating hip-hop and R&B in her music, with the Fantasy remix which featured Ol’ Dirty Bastard solidifying her status as an innovator in fusing the genres of hip-hop, R&B and pop. This album also saw her first introduction to Jermaine Dupri, another would-be longtime collaborator, in addition to heavily incorporating rap elements in her music.
从上面的情节中,我们可以看出她是如何从少数紧密合作者开始自己的职业生涯的,后来随着她越来越多样化的才干而发展成为另外40名作家。 对于玛丽亚·凯里 ( Mariah Carey) ,她利用了在高中时与本·马古利斯(Ben Margulies)一起创作的歌曲的宝库,并通过她的唱片公司,请沃尔特·阿凡纳西耶夫(Walter Afanasieff)协助创作。 由于专辑的成功,她的唱片公司赋予了她更多的创作自由,可以在以后的专辑中寻找新的方向。 Daydream标志着她开始控制将嘻哈音乐和R&B融入音乐中的开始, Fantasy remix的特色是Ol'Dirty Bastard巩固了她在融合嘻哈音乐,R&B和流行音乐方面的创新地位。 这张专辑还首次介绍了Jermaine Dupri(另一个可能成为长期合作者)的介绍,此外她还在她的音乐中大量加入了说唱元素。
In 2005, the one-two punch of the Jermaine Dupri-penned tracks It’s Like That and We Belong Together from The Emancipation of Mimi saw her back at the top of the charts and ushered in a new era of experimentation. Together with The Dream, Mariah scored her 18th number 1 with Touch My Body from the album E=MC², which then led to more fruitful sessions when he co-wrote and produced most of the tracks on Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. Her latest offering Caution saw her in the studio with producers she had never collaborated with before such as Skrillex, Poo Bear and Blood Orange, which was met with critical acclaim, and the album appeared on numerous year-end best of lists.
在2005年,Jermaine Dupri录制的单曲一辑《 这就是这样》和《咪咪的解放》中的《 我们属于一起 》使她回到了榜首,并开创了实验的新纪元。 玛丽亚(Mariah)和梦想(The Dream)一起在专辑《 E =MC²》中的《 触摸我的身体》 ( Touch My Body)中获得了她的第18名,当他与他人合写并制作了《不完美天使回忆录》中的大部分曲目时,玛丽亚获得了更多成果。 她的最新专辑《 Caution》使她在录音室里与从未有过合作的制作人见面,例如Skrillex,Poo Bear和Blood Orange,并获得了一致好评,这张专辑也出现在许多年终最佳专辑中。
Image by author 图片作者Taking a step back from her catalogue, we go back to the Billboard Hot 100 dataset to measure her impact on her peers.The Fantasy remix released in 1995 had a significant cultural impact on pop music, as it set the blueprint for the subsequent records that had a strong hip-hop influence, and paved the way for artists such as Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Rihanna and many others today. As a simple metric, we count the number of songs with features below, and it is clearly evident there was a huge explosion in 1996, and this has only continued to rise over the years.
从她的目录后退一步,我们回到Billboard Hot 100数据集来衡量她对同龄人的影响.1995年发行的Fantasy remix对流行音乐产生了重大文化影响,因为它为随后的唱片设定了蓝图嘻哈音乐的影响力很强,为碧昂斯,克里斯蒂娜·阿奎莱拉,蕾哈娜等当今的艺术家铺平了道路。 作为一个简单的指标,我们计算具有以下特征的歌曲的数量,显然可以看出,1996年发生了巨大的爆炸,而且这种爆炸仅在过去的几年中持续上升。

歌曲作者的艺术
If we were to take one thing away from Mariah Carey’s songs, it’s that she understands the multiple facets of love, whether it assumes the form of emotions so strong that you believe that it is not just a fantasy but a sweet destiny, or the nuances of a breakup that could result in a former lover being a part of yourself indefinitely, or to be told to simply get the fuck out.
如果我们要从玛丽亚·凯里的歌曲中脱颖而出,那就是她了解爱情的多面性,是否假设爱情的形式是如此强烈,以至于您认为这不仅是幻想,而是美好的命运,或细微差别分手的结果可能会导致一个前恋人无限期地成为自己的一部分,或者被告知只是干脆离开。
Image by author 图片作者The word clouds above do indeed show that love is a central theme in each of her albums, but what kinds of love exactly is she referring to? We turn to Natural Language Processing to dig deeper into her lyrics, and with the help of a technique called Non-Negative Matrix Factorization, four interesting topics emerge. The top 10 words for each topic are as follows:
上面的云朵确实确实表明爱是她每张专辑的中心主题,但是她究竟指的是哪种爱? 我们转向自然语言处理来更深入地研究她的歌词,并借助一种称为“非负矩阵分解”的技术,出现了四个有趣的话题。 每个主题的前10个字如下:
believe, find, inside, end, need, know, heart, love, understand, hurt 相信,找到,内在,结束,需要,知道,心,爱,理解,伤害 boy, play, girl, good, wanna, leave, ya, tell, mariah, mean 男孩,玩,女孩,好,想,离开,你,告诉,玛丽亚,意思是 touch, heaven, dream, need, feeling, want, love, long, wait, tonight 触摸,天堂,梦想,需要,感觉,想要,爱,漫长,等待,今晚 away, light, open, far, walk, fade, run, night, rain, shine 远处,光线,开放,远处,步行,褪色,奔跑,夜晚,雨水,光芒The first topic’s lyrics remind us of why we turn to Mariah: soaring power ballads to lift us out of our darkest hour. The second topic clearly showcases her affinity for collaborating with hip-hop and R&B artists in producing club-ready jams (Mariah may be a diva, but she’s definitely not singing her own name). The third topic is about imagining what the paragon of love would look like while the last topic strikes a more reflective and wistful tone. For conciseness, I’ve renamed them as:
第一个主题的歌词让我们想起了我们为什么选择玛丽亚(Mariah):飞扬的民谣使我们摆脱了最黑暗的时刻。 第二个主题清楚地表明了她与嘻哈音乐和R&B音乐人合作制作俱乐部专用果酱的亲和力(Mariah可能是个天才,但她绝对不会唱自己的名字)。 第三个主题是关于想象爱情的模样,而最后一个主题则具有更多的反思和渴望的语气。 为简洁起见,我将它们重命名为:
Power ballads 电力民谣 R&B/Hip-hop aficionado R&B /嘻哈迷 Love and limerance 爱与and Introspective escapism 内省的逃避现实The top tracks with the highest scores in each are:
每个曲目中得分最高的曲目是:
As we referenced earlier, Daydream was a turning point in Mariah’s career which saw her venture into R&B/hip-hop and also begin to pen more intimate songs such as Underneath the Stars. We also see a consistent decline in Power Ballads over the years as she broke free from her labels constraints on her as a traditional ‘pop’ artist.
正如我们之前所提到的, Daydream是Mariah事业的转折点,她看到了她进入R&B / hip-hop的冒险,并且还开始创作更私密的歌曲,例如The Underneath the Stars 。 由于她摆脱了作为传统“流行”艺术家的唱片公司的束缚,多年来,Power Ballads也持续下降。
Image by author 图片作者Finally, we use Spotify’s audio features in addition to the topics above to cluster Mariah Carey’s songs in order to see if any patterns emerge. We use a simple k-means clustering algorithm with 4 clusters as we would expect the audio features to line up broadly with the topics above. A few audio features were dropped such as Instrumentalness as this did not have much variation; Liveness and Loudness to allow each song to be treated as a standard studio effort; Mode was dropped as any intended effect of a major/minor key would be encapsulated by Valence.
最后,除了上述主题之外,我们还使用Spotify的音频功能来组合Mariah Carey的歌曲,以查看是否出现任何模式。 我们使用具有4个聚类的简单k均值聚类算法,因为我们希望音频功能与上述主题广泛地吻合。 删除了一些音频功能,例如“工具性”,因为它没有太大变化。 生动活泼,使每首歌曲都被视为标准的录音室工作; 模式被丢弃,因为任何主要/次要键的预期效果都将由价数封装。
As opposed to simply applying a blanket rule to categorise a song from the lyrical analysis above, we retain the raw scores and apply k-means clustering in order to account for other audio features which may also be an influence in the overall appreciation of the song. The plot below is the output from the clustering algorithm, where each cluster has been labelled after the lyrical category that has the highest average.
与简单地通过上面的抒情分析简单地应用毯式规则对歌曲进行分类相反,我们保留原始乐谱并应用k-means聚类,以考虑其他音频特征,这也可能会影响歌曲的整体欣赏效果。 下图是聚类算法的输出,其中每个聚类都在具有最高平均值的歌词类别之后标记。
Image by author 图片作者Not unexpectedly her R&B leaning tracks score the highest in Danceability Energy, and Valence but the Love and Limerance songs are not far behind. Her Power Ballads score the highest on Acousticness as these songs show off her ability to convey a tapestry of emotions through the technical use of her voice, without the need for any accompaniment that might divert attention away.
不出所料,她的R&B倾斜曲目在《 Danceability Energy》和《 Valence》中得分最高,但《 Love and Limerance》的歌曲紧随其后。 她的Power Ballads在声学上得分最高,因为这些歌曲彰显了她通过语音的技术运用来传达情感挂毯的能力,而无需任何可能将注意力转移开的伴奏。
Looking at how her number 1s have been classified, she has an equal number of tracks in Power Ballads and Love and Limerance and the least in Introspective Escapism. This category however has a number of lamb-favourites such as Fourth of July, Underneath the Stars and Close My Eyes. Mariah Carey’s grand displays of emotion appeal to the masses while her confessionals resonate with her fans.
看看她的1号数字是如何分类的,她在Power Ballads和Love and Limerance中的曲目数量相等,而在Introspective逃避现实中则最少。 但是,这个类别有很多喜欢的羊羔,例如七月四日,星空下和我的眼睛闭上。 玛丽亚·凯里(Mariah Carey)的情感盛大表演吸引了广大群众,而她的ess悔室也引起了粉丝们的共鸣。

结论
Mariah Carey is a living legend — we already knew that she was a record-breaking, genre-defying trailblazing singer-songwriter already, but quantifying these accomplishments has only made her success seem more incredible. We then tried to break down her music using maths to understand if there are underlying patterns and identified a few common themes in her songwriting and production. None of these will surprise her devout fans, as they will already have subconsciously internalised the different facets to her music, but maths has given us a way to evaluate this numerically. It’s a wrap!
玛丽亚·凯里(Mariah Carey)是一位活着的传奇人物-我们已经知道她已经是破纪录,不拘一格的开创性歌手和作曲家,但是量化这些成就只能使她的成功显得更加令人难以置信。 然后,我们尝试使用数学方法分解她的音乐,以了解是否存在潜在的模式,并在她的歌曲创作和制作中找出一些共同的主题。 这些都不会令她虔诚的歌迷感到惊讶,因为他们已经下意识地将她音乐的不同方面内在化了,但是数学为我们提供了一种数值评估的方法。 包好了!
