Rated: Mariah Carey - The Art of Letting Go

It was always going to be tough to top the incredible '#Beautiful', but Mariah's giving it a try anyway with her new single 'The Art of Letting Go'. It sure isn't as catchy as its predecessor, but it's not shit. Adding to the heavy ballad roster this singer's built up over her career, the song is stripped back to a light violin and piano arrangement. It's nicely sung, but it lacks a hook, something a song just can't succeed without in a chart filled with so many hooks you come out looking like a colander. The finale is quite strong, but for the memorable part of a song to be at the end, you're really asking for trouble.

2/5
