There are some nice songs on this album – nice in that easy-on-the-ear, instantly forgettable kind of way. One song, Underneath The Stars, stands out as a light, touching ballad about young love, but the rest of the album is pretty standard, at times even slightly painful as you can hear Mariah try to cross over into hip-hop and R’n’B territory. The songs are catchy enough, the production is first-class, but Daydream is severely lacking in the soul department. This album plays as if it was made for mass consumption – a little bit of everything to keep everybody happy. The end result sacrifices integrity for shallow mass appeal.
