Rainbow is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey. It was released on November 2, 1999, by Columbia Records. The album followed Butterfly (1997), in which she adopted a new image and fully transitioned into the urban contemporary market. Rainbow contains hip-hop–influenced R&B tracks and a variety of ballads. Carey produced the album mainly with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, who replaced Walter Afanasieff, the main balladeer Carey worked with throughout the 1990s. As a result of her divorce from Sony Music CEO Tommy Mottola, Carey had more control over the musical style of Rainbow; she collaborated with several hip-hop artists such as Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Master P and Mystikal as well as female rappers Da Brat and Missy Elliott. Other collaborations include Joe, Usher and boy band 98 Degrees.
