It’s
not her most commercial song but I would say it’s her most soulful song. I love the understated strings, the easy piano,
the simple drum beat, and a hint of gospel organ. About at the 2.35 mark the
beat turns a little more upbeat but then builds to a climax. The Climax of a ballad is Mariah at her
strongest. Her belt is powerful and she
displays that one of a kind whistle note. Her riffs and runs are not overdone but
rightfully done. Miss Carey is killing it!
I
think this is a song that Mariah needed to prove to her critics that her voice
has gone nowhere. She’s not singing in a
whisper like she did throughout much of her last record. It’s the powerful voice people fell in love
with when listening to songs like “Hero”, “Emotions”, and “My All”.
Part
of the lyrics:
I’m
making a statement of my own opinion.
Just
a brief little reminder to help myself remember
I
no longer live in your dominion
No,
No, No
Your
just trifling, nothing more than a liability
Got
to bundle all of your possessions outside of the kitchen window right now
Letting
Go
Letting
Go Ain’t Easy just exceedingly hurtful
Cause
someone you use to know is spinning your world around
And
they watch as you falling down
Lyric wise Mariah is at her realest. Almost as if she co-wrote this song with K.
Michelle. It’s no beating around the
bush on this song. I have to use Mariah's own hashtag on this one #Pow because Mariah did that and slayed on this track!
