The Star - Mariah Carey - MP3 instrumental karaoke

American singer-songwriter and pop diva Mariah Carey has written her share of enduring anthems, and 2017’s “The Star” is yet another one on that list. Written and produced by Mariah Carey along with composer Marc Shaiman, “The Star” is a stirring power ballad with strong religious overtones. It describes how the listener should persevere despite overwhelming odds in order to “follow the star,” which will lead them to love. The song was written for the 2017 Christian animated film by the same name, which tells the story of Jesus Christ’s birth at the manger and the visit of the Three Wise Men. The song was released as the first single from the film’s soundtrack album, which was promoted as part of the holiday season. “The Star” peaked at Number 26 on Billboard’s US Adult Contemporary chart, at Number 49 on the US Christian Airplay chart, and Number 6 on the US Holiday Digital Song Sales chart.
