Angels Cry (song)
"Angels Cry" is a song by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey from her twelfth studio album, ''Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel'' (2009). It was written and produced by Carey, Tricky Stewart and James "Big Jim" Wright, with additional songwriting from Crystal Johnson. On the album's track listing, "Angels Cry" is preceded by a one-minute, four second prelude called "Angel (The Prelude)", which consists of Carey performing purely in her whistle register. The prelude then leads into "Angels Cry", a song about trying to fix a broken relationship because true love only happens once. Carey released "Angels Cry" as a remix single featuring Ne-Yo in January 2010 for a proposed ''Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel'' remix album called ''Angels Advocate'', which was ultimately shelved.
==Overview==
"Angels Cry" was written and produced by Mariah Carey, Tricky Stewart and James "Big Jim" Wright, with additional songwriting from Crystal Johnson, for Carey's twelfth studio album ''Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel'' (2009). The song was recorded by Brian Garten and Brian "B-Luv" Thomas at The Boom Boom Room in Burbank and Honeywest Studios in New York City, and they were assisted in the process by Luis Navarro. It was mixed by Phil Tan at Soapbox Studios in Atlanta. Additional engineering was carried out by Carlos Oyanedel and Damien Lewis. The keys and Hammond B3 were performed by Stewart and Wright. Carey uses her higher vocal register to perform over an instrumental of a piano and finger snapping. "Angels Cry" is preceded by a one-minute, four second prelude called "Angel (The Prelude)". The prelude was written and produced by Carey, Stewart and Wright. Oyanedel, Lewis and Tan carried out the additional engineering and mixing as with "Angels Cry", however Garten and Thomas recorded the prelude at the Studio at the Palms in Las Vegas in addition to Honeywest Studios.〔 The prelude consists of Carey performing only whistle notes.
Lyrically, "Angels Cry" is about maintaining hope that a fading relationship can be salvaged because true love only happens once. Carey sings "I’m willing to live and die for our love/Baby we can get back that shine." However, the lyrics "Super natural love conquers all" could also be interpreted as feeling God's love.〔 Adam Holz of ''Plugged In'' thought that the lyrics were "depressing,"〔 while Lauren Murphy of Entertainment IE felt that the lyrics "When you and I say goodbye, I felt the angels cry" were too sentimental. Although Ann Powers of ''Los Angeles Times'' thought that the song had a "sad" tone, she praised its production. Bill Lamb of About.com placed "Angels Cry" in his list of the album's best tracks. Michael Cragg of musicOMH was critical of the song, writing that it is a "limp ballad" which he thought was trying too hard at recreating some of Carey's previous material, and concluded by writing that it "ultimately ends up making you want to hear the original version more than anything". A reviewer for DJ Booth commented that the song sounded as thought it could have been released in 1994.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mariah Carey Up Out My Face (Remix) )〕
