Dreamlover
"Dreamlover" was the first single released from Mariah Carey's fourth album, Music Box in the third quarter of 1993 both in the United States and internationally. It was nominated for the 1994 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, but did not win. It gained a BMI pop award, as had Carey's every single other than "I'll Be There". ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The single was co-written by Carey and Dave Hall, and co-produced by Carey, Hall, and Walter Afanasieff. (Afanasieff was brought in by Sony to tone the song down, as the company felt the original production was too rough and mellow.) "Dreamlover" is built around a sample of the Emotions song "Blind Alley", written by David Porter, and it also uses a Hammond B-3 organ. A summer pop anthem, and one of Carey's signature songs, it has her picturing an ideal man, her dream lover, as she exclaims: "dreamlover, come rescue me, take me up, take me down, take me anywhere you want to baby, now". This song started Carey's trend to use samples as backbones of her lead uptempo singles; later examples include "Fantasy" and "Honey".
