Muni Long, Mariah Carey - Made For Me

A great remix incorporates the best parts of the original song and adds that special sauce to get it over the finish line into greatness territory. The remix to Muni Long’s ‘Made For Me’ is a perfect example of this. With the addition of Mariah Carey’s legendary voice, the song soars in a way that the original doesn’t. The track starts with Mariah’s iconic high notes before Muni takes over with her usual verse. It is clear that Muni’s vocals were not resung and that Mariah’s voice was blended into this track. The best part is the chorus when Mariah and Muni’s voices blend and soar, adding to the pleading nature of the song.

The original ‘Made For Me’ was a fan favorite for its familiar 2000s R&B sound. This is not surprising considering it was produced by the legendary duo of Bryan-Michael Cox and Jermaine Dupri, famous for their classic 2005 anthem ‘We Belong Together’ with Carey. Since going viral on TikTok, the song has been remixed multiple times and covered by many other artists, so it only seemed fitting that one of the queens of R&B would hop on this remix. Another highlight of this track is Mariah’s sing-rapping portion towards the middle of the song, easily reminding millennials of her vocal style on ‘We Belong Together’.

The original ‘Made For Me’ has already reached the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. Judging by the quality of this remix, it would not surprise me if Long is able to get her first top 10 hit on the Hot 100. Check out the track below and immediately be transported back to 2005!
