To accentuate the prettiness on the current album, they slow down the tempos, sing more breathily, foreground the painstakingly strummed or plucked acoustic riffs, and generally dilute each element until they attenuate the wires running through the machine, and the whole thing unravels into a pile of gears,poles,snapped strings, and smaller contraptions themselves unraveling.

"Bottoms Up" features a "bass-thumping" beat. Nicki Minaj appears in the song as herself, and her alter-egos, Roman Zolanski, and Harajuku Barbie.

Minaj also sings breathily and references Anna Nicole Smith, and biblical figures Mary and Joseph.

Several critics felt that "Infinity" is about Carey's estranged husband, Nick Cannon. "Infinity" is a mid-tempo R&B; ballad that lasts for a duration of four minutes.

I was yours eternally, there's an end to infinity", while the songs hook consists of the singer "breathily cooing" the title repeatedly in a descending vocal run.

David Browne, while reviewing Ray of Light for Entertainment Weekly, deemed the song a "sirenlike techno- glitter-ball".

Album closer "Satellite" was also highlighted by NME magazine's Emily Mackey, who commented that the track "sounds like Billie Holiday's final radio transmission to troubled earthlings from her home beyond the stars, the gentlest, most desultory of strums and glances of keys backing Hope's vocal," before giving the album a 7/10 rating. In one of the most negative reviews available online, Spin's Spencer Kornhaber commented that "a close listen reveals fine details, like the waterlogged, Eastern-tinged strumming of "Fall Aside" or the ghostly harmonies of "Blanchard," but to most listeners, though, Through the Devil Softly will simply function as a collection of breathily perfect lullabies," before awarding the album a 3/5 rating.Spin Review www.spin.com.
