NEW MUSIC FROM MARIAH CAREY

♫ MARIAH CAREY - TOUCH MY BODY

( From wild955.com )

Mariah Carey finally has dropped her new single from her 11th studio album, E=MC². Emphasis on the word finally. From several sources, I have heard that Mariah has some risky records on the album, but it seems like they have chosen to stick with the typical Mariah-esque sound for the first single, “Touch My Body.” I have to say that I’m torn - I wanna like it, but I have to probably listen to it some more for it to grow on me. I’m hoping that Mariah releases something a little more edgy for her second single. Perhaps the T-Pain featured “Migrate,” which we’ve heard so much about.

Check out Mariah’s official site for more information on her new album, or her MySpace to listen to more tunes.

this is horrible, even the lambs have to agree (I Agree with TY), Mariah has an incredible voice. Didn’t usher tell her to stop whispering and she would sell records and she comes out with this weak single. I blame LA REID, Mariah Carey is a Legand, and Icon who deserves respect and strong material. She has paved the way for the Beyonces, Ameries, Rihanna’s, etc…. How do u give her some dumb-sing-a-long where she sounds like can’t sing. Mariah is stupid too., i’m sorry lambs., all you fools were expecting her to bring out a “it’s like that” and KILL the end with those powerful vocals and she releases this stupid song which pics up where Charmbraclet left off…. this is sad, a very sad day for Mariah. This will NOT be a hit. You can wait on a We Belong Together ballad to save the day…but the Damage this will cause……..is already being done. LA REID ur a dummy. U damage Janet’s chances and now U ruin Mariah’s.

I personally Love the song after playing it like 5 times it is a very catchy song This really to me is a buzz song to get us ready for more to come from her just like “It’s Like That” did then she hit us with “We Belong Together” and we all know how that song did so I think she is going to drop a bangin ass 2nd single hands down

And Janet’s song Feedback is cool and all but I dont think that many ppl is really checking for her like that like ppl saying they are but who knows we will see when both of there albums drop and im buying Mariah’s first day it come out

@78

Are you just mad cause this single is weak? I know I didn’t get under you skin that bad. Can’t take the heat, stay out the damn kitchen. Am I really affecting your day? I hope not. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, so no need to bust bad and talk shit like it is really something serious going down. Like I said RELAX, it’s just a blog.

89.

Sure

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 /

It’s alright. Like everyone else, even the stans that are loving it, feel like there should be more. She’s coming off of her best album in years(Emancipation) and they, she should have dropped something better. Let’s not blame LA Reid because Mariah and Janet have both been in the game forever so if they’re not in control of their own careers this late in the game there is a problem. With that said does anybody else wish that Mariah and Janet would go back to when they was really shutting shit down? You know how Mariah would drop an album and the industry would follow suit, the same way with Janet? These are two trendsetting bitches and I want that power back for them. EITHER WAY I’M COPPING BOTH ALBUMS. I’LL DANCE WITH JANET AND TRY TO HOPELESSLY HIT ALL THEM DAMN NOTES MARIAH HITS( ALONE OF COURSE LOL)

90.

Sure

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 /

OH YEAH COSIGN @35 MARIAH REALLY DOES HAVE A HUGE ASS VOCABULARY AND THE LYRICS ON THIS ARE WEAK. YOU CAN’T DENY THAT THEY ARE. LISTEN TO ANY MARIAH ABLUM AND YOU JUST MIGHT HAVE TO TAKE YOUR ASS TO THE LIBRARY TO GET A DEFINITION LOL BUT NOT WITH THIS ONE. IT’S FOR THE CHICKENHEADS!!! (LYRICALLY)

OOOOOKKKKKKKKKK, HERE WE GO AGAIN. ISN’T THIS THE SAME REACTION YOU GUYS HAD WITH RIHANNA’S “UMBRELLA” AND DARE I SAY ALICIA KEYS “NO ONE”, BUT WHEN YOU GIVE A SONG A CHANCE IT WILL GROW ON YOU, IM READING ALL THESE HATING COMMENTS BUT IM SURE YOU GUYS ARE THE SAME ONES WHO WERE UP IN CAR OR AT HOME SINGING…..NO ONE NO ONE NO ONEEEEEEEEE OR UMBRELLA ELLA ELLA EHHH…..BUT JUST WEEKS BEFORE YOU WERE UP ON HER DISSING THE ARTISTS WORK. SO PLEASE ENJOY THE SONG, SIT BACK AND RELAX, AND STOP TAKIN SH*T SO DAMN PERSONAL ——- “TOUCH MY BODY” IS AN ENJOYABLE TRACK THAT JUST MADE IT FOR VALENTINES DAY, I’M VERY SURE THAT LA REID OR EVEN MARIAH DONT THINK THAT THIS WILL BE A MEMORABLE TRACK THAT WILL BE TALKED ABOUT IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS. IT’SSSSSSSSSSSSS AN ENJOYABLE TRACK THAT FITS TODAYS MUSIC ON THE RADIO. GET WITH THE PROGRAM. (please somebody give me an amen)

people comparing mariah and janet are sort of immature- theyre both great artists in different ways. one is an amazing vocalist, the other an amazing entertainer- but they are totally different

this is a great album filler, not a single in my opinion

Ok, I listen to it a couple more times.The lyrics are kind of weak, but then again it’s the Dream that wrote this song and we know EH EH EH in your vocabulary won’t go far so I see why many of you see it’s weak.It’s a cute song, but not living up to what this new album is about.

Its nice, it is, but it doesnt scream huge number #1 single. I didnt get the same feeling I got when I heard We Belong Together. I am a little disappointed though I feel like this is the same old recycle stuff she’s been singing for the last decade. I really wanted her to come a little harder. its WAY too safe she’s at the point in her career where record exects can take a bigger risk on her.

This is a TRAGIC first single for a multi-octave, multi-platinum, multi-dimensional selling artist! Is this what music has been reduced to? Mediocore production, lazy vocals, and a Casio beat?!?! Im sorry Mimi- ME NO LIKEY!

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 /

Mimi, I love you, but why are you putting out such mediocre material? Where’s the passion that you put into previous efforts, including “We Belong Together”. Now THAT was the shiet. I can’t wait for the next song. I’d hate to say this, but “Feedback” is a much stronger first single.

RELEASE “MIGRATE” NOW!

First of all Mariah is my girl and so is Janet and you guys sound like idiots comparing these two legendary women who have young girls trying to be like! So stop all the hate to try to uplift one artist and put one down. These two have made it possible for women to be successful in the industry. Anyways I love Mariah and this song is hot E=MC². is the mass-energy equivalent formula to to solve for the the amount of mass and energy formed by Albert Einstein but I don’t know how that relates to Mariah maybe she can explain all i can do is assume lol anyways as you were

This is a catchy song. Everyone that wants her to belt on every record is silly…what kind of album is that! She has songs that she did..where she sings her ass off…enjoy the first single and love the album. LA is a genius….oh yeah Dream didnt write this song….

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 /

This song is very radio friendly; HOWEVER!!!!!!!!, this is not a song that shows off Mariah’s vocal ability.

It will have to grow on me because the beat is kinda cheesy and whenever I listen to songs in my car, I tend to like them better.

And Mariah ain’t perfect either! Janet may not have the vocals, but she can dance!!!

And we all know that Mariah can’t dance for shit, but her voice is hott!!!

Hmmm….it’s ok. I listened to the song twice and my opinion hasn’t really changed about it. But honestly I was expecting more considering all the hype and being so careful about any singles leaking.

MY P.O.V.

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 /

I’m still a Mariah fan so I’m not a ‘hater’ lol. But I just wish everyone (not just Mariah) were more concerned with really being creative rather than just making music that’s trendy or hot for the moment.

I agree that this song is very catchy but mind you that catchy and simple lyrics=big money! How is that? People buy it! So when the consumers demand creativity guess what? Labels would promote artist and push them out like Kim does after having Diddy babies lol

Mariah Carey is THE Best selling female artist of all time. Her octive and vocal ranges has surpased many artists that come along after her and before her. She does not have to dance to sell because her talent and voice is enough. Unlike other artists *cough* Janet, Rihanna, Ciara*cough* Mariah writes all of her music. I don’t know why the comparisons are even made but if they must. I love the song. Similar to Emancipation of MiMi “It’s Like That” was cool for me but We Belong Together was official, the game was over, Mariah is back. I love Touch my body and I’m looking forward to hearing more material from the album.

Ok so the song doesnt sweep me off my feet lol, its a little catchy, but definately not what i was expecting after this long anticipation. Guess I just have to wait to see what the second single will be before I can make a decision on the album

@ Blackisbeautiful:

You’re right, creativity and thinking outside the box doesn’t sell as well as music that follows the formula for what’s popular at the moment, unfortunately.

JBL

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 /

THAT_BITCH has made just about the only honest comment I have read. It kills me how Mariah fans are on the attack with Janet when Mariah herself delivered 2 album flops and a movie flop. It wasn’t that long ago Mariah was a virtual nobody and other female artists were topping the charts and unlike Janet, Mariah wasn’t facing a MTV, VH1 and pop radio backlash. Had the Superbowl incident never happened Janet would still be making hits. But Black folks just salivate at the chance to bring down a legend like Janet when she is being punished for simply being Black, while Timberlake gets to play the King of R N B music. But Janet is such a star that Damita Jo, a brilliant Cd, was still CERTIFIED double platinum and 20 YO was CERTIFIED platinum. Now only a star could do that. Janet will soon have another #1 CD and she will be going on tour so you all who sit around wishing for her failure will just have to wait a little longer.

As for Mariah’s new song, it is ok and nothing special. Hopefully her second single will be the clincher just as it was with the Mimi CD. And I wish Mariah much luck and success because she deserves and has EARNED it.

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 /

Uh, maybe Rihanna and Ciara don’t write their own shit but the last time I checked for every album in Janet’s catalog minus the very first two(dreamstreet and janet jackson) and this latest one(Discipline) Janet has always wrote her shit right alongside Jimmy and Terry. So she may have to dance to sell but don’t try to squash her in there with the wannabes out now. WHy are we talking abot Janet anyways? lol This single is weak. She’ll get some radio airplay along with the video but it’s no number one hit that’s for sure, no matter how much it grows on you. Either way Janet, Mariah, Beyonce, and everyone else is two-steppin’ all the way to the bank on royalties alone!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s the real clown!! LOL

130.

Both

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 /

Both Mariah and Janet deserve success becasue they’ve worked so hard to get it, that you can’t deny. Janet’s doesn’t have Mariah’s voice but star power always translates. Mariah can’t work the stage like Janet but she can stand their flat-footed and make you wish for even a part of her vocal range. Two very different artist but both MEGA-successful, multi-talented, filthy rich and BLACK women doing what they do best entertain the masses and get paid well to do it!!!!!!!

On the single I’m dissapointed for two reasons. Lyrically it has to be one of Mariah’s weakest. Whoever above said Mariah has got a crazy vocab was not bullshiting and this makes me think of someone in junior high. 2nd beat wise it’s wack even for a mid-tempo song.Melodically it is very nice, I won’t remember it though a week from now

HATTTTTERS!

E

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 /

133/S.I.C.K. What do u mean by all she ever had to do is sing? She’s written/co-written, and co-produced about 95% of all her music. She doesn’t even record her vocals in the studio with producers because she does her own vocal production.

135.

*KMS*

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 /

I don’t like the song. Mariah is talented but she needs to stop doing them kiddy tracks. People will give their right nut to be able to sing like her.

I dunno why janet and ciara are brought up but they certainly DO write their own music. I’m aware ciara has a separate deal for writing and 5 ASCAP awards to back it up if anyone needs proof. idk about rihanna but i doubt she writes her own music… so freaking talentless.

136.

Nichole

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 /

Some people here need to calm the fuck down. TMB is just a little mid tempo tune. I guarantee you that Mariah will bring it with her second.

Janet unfortunately is still being blacklisted. If it wasn’t for that, I’m sure Feedback would have been a smash. The thing is that Janet needs radio. If radio is hardly playing her music, then how do we expect it to sell? She really needs radio. Not just television.

Radio and the charts should do well by TMB. I’m sure IDJ will drop another single right before E=MC2 drops.

137.

Yo

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 /

Ok I am Mariah;s #1 fan since 1990. I must say that she has had to water down her style and talent since Glitter because people dont appreciate her when shes belting in full voice. Then they complain if she is mainstream on these kinds of tracks.. wtf do you want? Her album is sure to be fiya and if not she still wont be outsold by most of these chicks out here. So just Relax, Sit back and listen. Shes tryna show her diveristy she has years ahead to continue to grow as an artist.

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 /

I have to agree with Mariah fans. I think The Dream wrote this song for her because her writing skills are so much better than this lol. If you don’t know, listen to the “Butterfly and “Rainbow” albums I’ve noticed that her vocabulary is expansive. Well with that said, I think this single is an average song. Mariah’s vocal producing was very good on this record however the lyrics were lacking. Maybe the album would be better though. Oh yeah no need to put my girl Janet down. These two are totally different. You guys need to calm down and take your meds with Chris Crocker because these women have always sold records and did the damn thang! Mariah is a vocalist/songwriter and Janet is a performer/songwriter okay get it right bitches and stop looking foolish defending these women on who is better? It’s really childish

Thank you # 140 you get it. Mariah has written alot of great stuff but her audience was limited mostly to her fanbase. now she has a chance to sneak in the slow burners, hence We Belong Together, Fly Like Bird, Circles, Stay The Night.
She just has to reach the pop listners first. I love Janet as well always have.

BLENDER REVIEW OF MARIAH’S NEW SINGLE:

MARIAH’S NEW SEX TAPE=THEMED SMASH
WHO: Mariah Carey
WHAT: “Touch My Body”
WHY: While Mariah’s new album, E=MC2, is set to be one of the year’s biggest, this introductory single is downright subtle - yet effective. Co-written by The-Dream and produced by Tricky (a.k.a. the dudes behind “Umbrella”), “Touch My Body” rides the same never ending snap blueprint T-Pain used to brilliant effect on last year’s feather-light super hit “Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin’).” You won’t mind hearing it on the radio and TV every 10 minutes for the next few months - this thing sooths as it repeats. Here, Mariah is focused on one thing: “Come on and give me what I deserve and touch my body,” she coos. And make no mistake, she wants to be touched on her terms only: “Cause if you run your mouth and brag about this secret rendezvous, I will hunt you down.” She even thinks about the possible ramifications of her touchy tryst when she sings, “If there’s a camera up in here then I best not catch this flick on YouTube” (nevermind the fact that the video in question would never get past YouTube censors). A pop genius making genius pop.

“TOUCH MY BODY” REVIEWS
Tuesday, 12-Feb-2008, 8:22PM EST

Erik Bradley
Music Director, B-96, Chicago, IL

“‘Touch My Body’ picks right up where The Emancipation Of Mimi left off. It’s another classic Mariah mid-tempo SMASH with a hook that will stick with you for days. The reaction to it thus far has been incredible…I believe at the end of the day this will be Mariah’s 18th #1 single. I’ve heard many of the songs on E=MC2 and not only is it full of killer songs, I feel it stands just as tall (perhaps taller) than T.E.O.M. Here comes another 10+ million worldwide sales and more time at the top of the charts for MC!”

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 /

Here is my take on this. First off, I love the title. It’s genius. E=MC2 means Emancipation=Mariah Carey to the second power. It’s a good song but not great. The melody is catchy and I like her tone, it reminds me of the Daydream era a la Always Be My Baby. She didn’t vocally bang out the end of the song, her songs always build vocally but this one doesn’t go far which is what I think is missing. Mariah only co-wrote this that’s why the lyrics are more urban. I still like the lyrics though, not Shakespeare but decent. It’s a safe pop record which is what I think they are going for. I hear album consists of mostly uptempo songs and I was hoping she would have released a stronger more uptempo lead single. I’m sure there are stronger/better songs on the album because LA said he is planning to release six singles from this album. I’m waiting for the big power ballad. They only played ten songs at the listening parties so I’m sure they have some surprises. As for Janet, she is a legend herself and shouldn’t be brought up to make Mariah look better. They both bring different things to the industry and I hope they both do well. LA better put in that overtime.

Yep! lol Mariah is the girl and I think she chose The Dream to write this song for her because he is the hottest songwriter right now. Ever since he wrote “Bed” and “Umbrella” the man has taken off lol. I still think his writing is subpar but I can’t hate on the man living out his dream and what does it matter people like it and it’s gain him popularity and money lol. That brother getting paid. So I guess Mariah is just watering down her style to what’s hot to get a hit. Soon she might let Keri Hilson write for her or the clutch maybe. Yep she reaching it out to the pop listeners and a different generation too.

Funny how MC fans will come out to defend her at any rate.. This track shows that she is not willin take risks. D song is simply OK, it might not live up to the hype its being given.. I really hope the video will lift it up… No offence, but y’ll need to clear da chart for BRANDY… she’s gonna kill it this year folks…
