The ending to Porter Robinson’s 2014 album Worlds, “Goodbye to a World,” is still one of the most iconic endings to a dance music album in the past decade. It encapsulates everything beautiful about the album and stamps a brilliant end to it all.
In one of the more unexpected revelations of the day, it seems that Mariah Carey has sampled the entire instrumental of the song for her own new single “GTFO.” Adding a few drum beats here and there, as well as her own lyrics, the original song is still entirely recognizable but the song as a whole is vastly different.
It almost feels like a terrible mashup, in the way that Carey sings over a song so beloved to dance music fans. On the other hand, the vibe is very close to that of ’90s R&B and so it’s a throwback at the same time. 
Fans will no doubt have mixed reactions to this new song – what do you think?

Well, for starters, it seems the person who wrote this doesn’t know Mariah AT ALL. Taking a song and rebranding it to make something entirely hers, but still mantaining the homage to great music is one of her best qualities (e.g. what she did with Genius of Love in Fantasy, The Body Rock in Honey, Shook Ones Part II in The Roof – and the list goes on). And with this song is the same, she took one aspect of it and put her flawless Rn’B style to it (and Porter Robinson himself worked with her in the song). So, to sum it up, is Mariah doing what Mariah does best.

I guess what makes me angry about this is most of the “Pop Culture” magazine websites act like Drakes producer, Nineteen85, was the main contributor when that does not seem to be the case at all because how close the song is to Goodbye to a World. This would only make sense if he paid Porter for the copyright. Mariah or SOMEONE needs to give credit where credit is due.
He’s listed in the song credits. What do you mean?
Meh.
