Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0602517507586 Label: Island Manufacturer: Island MPN: 001027202 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Island Release Date: April 15, 2008 Studio: Island Editorial Review: Album Description: Performer and songwriter Mariah Carey has set April 15th as the in-store date for the most eagerly anticipated album of the year, E=MC². The 11th studio album of her career, E=MC² is the follow-up to The Emancipation Of Mimi, Mariah's worldwide 10 million selling #1 album, which generated three Grammy awards (including Best Contemporary R&B Album), 2 #1 singles and countless more industry honors during its 18-month stay on the charts. The first single from E=MC² is "Touch My Body," written and produced by Mariah Carey, C. "Tricky" Stewart, and The-Dream, and blasting out worldwide on February 12th. The video for "Touch My Body" was directed by feature filmmaker Brett Ratner - Internet, cable and network premieres for the video will be announced in the weeks ahead. In addition to C. "Tricky" Stewart and The-Dream, other guest producers joining Mariah on E=MC² will include Jermaine Dupri, DJ Toomp, Stargate, Will I Am, Bryan Michael Cox, Nate "Danjahandz" Hills and James Poyser.. E=MC² is executive produced by Mariah Carey and Antonio "LA" Reid, Chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group. The Emancipation Of Mimi, released April 12, 2005, was an industry phenomenon for the mega-platinum award-winning superstar - Soundscan's biggest-selling album of the year, bringing total sales of Mariah's albums, singles and videos to more than 160 million worldwide, making her the most successful female recording artist in history. Mimi featured "We Belong Together" (winner of the Best Female R&B Vocal and Best R&B Song Grammys) and "Don't Forget About Us," Mariah's 16th and 17th #1 career singles respectively. They tied one of the most enduring chart records in Billboard Hot 100 history, Elvis Presley's 17 #1's. Mariah is now positioned as the only active recording artist in the 48 years of the Hot 100 (which began in 1958) with the potential to surpass the Beatles' all-time high of 20 #1 hits. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not her best but it's still okayThere's been a lot of debate over this album and whether it measures up to "Emancipation"...I agree, Emancipation of Mimi has a fresher sound, more uptempo beats and Mariah seems more in control of her game when one listens to the album. Before she released E=MC2, Mariah described this album as the "dessert" to Emancipation, which was the "main course"....I can see how that works. This isn't meant to be better than her last album but rather, complement it. The vibe is the same although ...

There are only about 2 songs that I actually "like" and the rest I could do without. If you like rap then this is probably for you. I like rap to an extent but there seems to be much more of it on this CD. I have all of her CD's and I wish I didn't buy this one. Rating:  - What happened to Mariah???I can't believe an artist with such a wonderful voice would allow herself to trivialize it with such ghetto lyrics! I won't soon purchase another of her CDs if she continues in this manner. I cannot justify listening to her singing, "...between you and I...", which is obviously incorrect grammar. She is an iconic personality that youth idolize, so why would she (and producers) subscribe to such low-rent content? Is that what America desires? America, you can have her. Rating: - If you feed this cd to your garbage can, it'll throw up...It's too bad that some people actually spend their hard-earned money on superficial "music" like this, when there's so much great music out there with real heart and soul. You know, depth? Ever heard that word? Know the meaning of the word? Music with great arrangements and intelligent lyrics. Ever listened to music like that? No? Didn't think so. That's why you're reading this review... Rating:  - Mariah Carey another hit:)I love Mariah Carey her voice is incredible:) I love this cd she combines her usual style with a playful song touch my body I can't get that song out of my head.Also another good song is I'll be loving you long time it is a old fashioned disco sound with a modern take on it:). I am a huge fan of MC she is great!:). |
