This week on The Obsessed Podcast, Gareth and Ghia dive into one of the most unexpected and magical moments of the MC16/MI era—Mariah Carey’s anniversary release of “Volare / Nothing Is Impossible".

Fresh off her show-stopping performance at the 2026 Winter Olympics, where she stunned the world with her Italian, Mariah reimagines the classic “Volare” alongside her deeply personal ballad “Nothing Is Impossible” from latest album Here For It All. 

The hosts unpack the significance of this release—why this pairing works so beautifully, how the live Olympic moment elevated the song’s emotional impact, and what this orchestral, celebratory version says about where Mariah is artistically in 2026.

Is this her most heartfelt release in years?

Does “Nothing Is Impossible” stand among her great inspirational anthems?

How does this Italian crossover moment fit into the legacy of the Mi era?

It’s elegance, vocals, symbolism—and just a little bit of diva glamour. Ciao, Lambs!

Few artists reshaped remix culture like Mariah Carey.

.

Long before remixes were routine marketing tools, Mariah turned them into an art form—creating parallel versions of her hits that lived entirely different lives on R&B radio and in the club.

.

This week, The Obsessed Podcast dives into Mariah Carey’s R&B vs. Club remix legacy: from gritty, hip-hop-leaning reworks with era-defining producers and rappers, to high-energy club mixes that dominated dance floors and Billboard charts. We explore how these remixes weren’t afterthoughts, but strategic, creative statements that expanded her audience, elevated collaborators, and helped define 90s and early-2000s remix culture.

.

Whether you’re a longtime Lamb or a music history nerd, this series breaks down how Mariah mastered the remix—bridging streets, clubs, and charts while rewriting the rules of pop, R&B, and dance music.
