The Remixes (Mariah Carey album)
The Remixes is the collective title for two remix albums by American singer Mariah Carey, released in 2003. The project consists of two separate CDs: The Remixes and The Remixes. The first disc, The Remixes, is geared towards house and dance remixes, predominantly featuring remixes crafted by DJs. The second disc, The Remixes, caters to hip hop and R&B remixes, focusing on collaborations with rappers and producers.
The albums feature remixes of some of Carey's most popular singles throughout her career, spanning both her Columbia and Virgin Records eras. Prominent remixers included David Morales, Junior Vasquez, Hex Hector, and Jermaine Dupri. The album aimed to re-introduce Carey to a club and urban audience, showcasing the versatility of her vocals and songwriting.
The Remixes achieved moderate commercial success, charting in several countries. While it didn't generate significant mainstream attention like some of Carey's studio albums, it served as a compilation of her remix work and a nod to the influence of dance and hip hop on her music.
