Title: Mariah Carey (album)
Passage: Mariah Carey is the debut studio album by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey, released on June 12, 1990 by Columbia Records.  Its music incorporates a range of contemporary genres with a mix of slow ballads and dance tracks.  Originally, Carey wrote four songs with Ben Margulies, which solely constituted her demo tape.  While altered and partially re-sung after being signed to Columbia, all four songs made the final cut for the album.  Aside from Margulies, Carey worked with a range of professional writers and producers, all of whom were hired by Columbia CEO, Tommy Mottola.  "Mariah Carey" featured production and writing from Rhett Lawrence, Ric Wake and Narada Michael Walden, all of whom were top record producers at the time.  Together with Carey, they conceived the album and reconstructed her original demo tape.
Title: Greatest Hits (Mariah Carey album)

It is a greatest hits double album: CD 1 is primarily a collection of Carey's hits from 1990 to 1995, while CD 2 is primarily a collection of hits from 1996 to 2000.  In 2011, the album was re-issued outside the US with the same track listing, under the title of "The Essential Mariah Carey".  In 2012, "The Essential Mariah Carey" was released in North America with a slightly different track listing, replacing some hits with their extended club mixes, and others being completely removed in favor of tracks that had not been released as singles.  Much of the artwork inside the album booklet is very similar to that of the "Greatest Hits" release.
Title: Christmas Time Is in the Air Again
Passage: "Christmas Time is in the Air Again" is a song by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey from her second Christmas album and thirteenth studio album, "Merry Christmas II You" (2010).  It was written and produced by Carey in collaboration with Broadway composer Marc Shaiman.  Lyrically, it is about finding love during the Christmas season.  The track garnered positive reviews from critics, with one describing it as an outstanding performance and the only song on the album that could compare to one of Carey's previous Christmas singles, "All I Want for Christmas Is You".  It was released as a single in December 2012.  An accompanying lyric video was released, and Carey has performed "Christmas Time Is in the Air Again" live on NBC's "Christmas in Rockefeller Centre" event and during her December 2014 Beacon Theatre residency called All I Want For Christmas Is You, A Night of Joy & Festivity.
Title: Hero (Mariah Carey song)
Passage: "Hero" is a song by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey.  It was released on October 19, 1993, via Columbia Records as the second single from Carey's third studio album, "Music Box" (1993).  Originally intended for Gloria Estefan, the song was written by Mariah and produced by her and Walter Afanasieff.  While writing the song, Carey did not connect to its style or sound, therefore forfeiting it over to the soundtrack of the film of the same name.  However, after being convinced to keep it, she personalized it, giving it a more pop and R&B melody, as well as changing some of the lyrics to more precisely fit her personality.  Lyrically, the song is regarded as one of Carey's most inspirational and personal ballads, with its protagonist declaring that even though we may feel discouraged or down at times, in reality, we are "heroes" if we look inside ourselves and see our own inner strength; in time, it will help us "find the way."
