Mariah Carey’s E=MC2 album cover was leaked this week (courtesy of mariahcarey.com) and you can peep it above. The album will be released on April 15 on Island Def Jam Records.
In related news, Mariah is covering the newest issue of Allure magazine revealed that she is a “prude” and that she knows people think she’s a ditz.
“It’s a dichotomy, I understand,” the 37-year-old Grammy winner tells Allure magazine. “I understand that people think I am a ditzy moron.” [ READ MORE ]
TERRENCE HOWARD TO RELEASE AN ALBUM
Actor Terrence Howard is gearing up to release an album this fall! Howard, who was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for his role as a pimp-turned-rapper in 2005 movie Hustle & Flow, has signed with Columbia Records. This should be quite interesting.
A representative from the label has said that Terrence’s debut album will be titled Terrence Howard Presents Me & the Band of Kings. I have to admit, my interest is very peaked by this.
As you may recall, the track from Hustle & Flow won an Academy Award, but because of Howard’s delivery and Three 6 Mafia’s writing. So, I guess my next question would be: Is Terrence going to be writing the records on this album?
So far, there is no release date, but we do know that the album is set to drop in this year’s third music quarter. We’ve been hearing about this album for a long time, but now we’ve finally got confirmation that Terrence has a deal, and is currently cutting tracks for the new project.
GNARLS BARKLEY MOVES UP RELEASE
The dynamic duo Gnarls Barkley has moved their set up a few dates. Although they say that they were just ready to get the project out, I think it had more to do with the fact that the album leaked a month before it’s release.
“They felt the timing was right to just go for it,” said an unnamed spokesman for the band. “With the shifting seasons, furtive romantic entanglements and fierce college basketball rivalries, the latter half of March can be confusing. People need to be soothed and inspired now.”
Worded strangely, but I’ll buy it.
Originally slated for April 8th release, and leaking sometime early last week, Gnarls Barkley, consisting of Cee-Lo Green and DJ Danger Mouse has decided to release digitally, today, March 18th and will appear in stores the following week on the 25th. I think this was a good move for their new album, The Odd Couple, which is a really great sound for them. Although I think I’m still a little more partial to St. Elsewhere, Odd Couple is a wonderful second effort for them.
This is one unclassy cover.. sorry.
#2… YEAH.. But Mariah.. not too feeling the cover.. it’s a bit much… brite as purple.. I love you girl.. but no no mimi.. back to the drawing board.. Literally…
I think the layout and font throws of the beauty of the photo.. work on that. get it together MC.. what this is like ur iono 12th album(i think)..
mimi… ur cover sucks all those feathers n shyt make you look like big birds sister. tackyyyyyy. Get it together Bird.
HmmmmmmmmmMM
I want to hear the 1995 Mariah.
Love the cover,,,,, it her style,,, it HER. i love her , she looks GREAT
If Terrence’s album sounds anything like how he was playing that guitar on ‘Best Man’, then it should be alright then. Can’t wait to hear what Gnarls Barkley has going on!
That Mariah cover reminds me of one of her older covers back in the past. I think its alright. Not the best but it is classy like.
Can Terrence even sing/rap? lol
She needs to give it up. She’s to damn old to be talking about Touching Bodies.And I am not impressed at all..it looks so predictable..but..thats Mariah for ya.
Damn Ciara’s lacefron looks very sketchy..idk waats up with tat
Otherwise everyone else on point as much s they can be.
The cover for Mariah looks very predicatble yes but its kinda classic looking at the same time…But not feeling these bubblegum 80′s pop records like touch my body
An album from Terrence Howard..ill pass..thats some bullish right there
Hate the cover
I really hope Mariah bring it on this cd I hate Touch My Body
I am so over Mariah Carey. Seriously, people think your a ditz because that is what you want to project. And what black woman wants to come off stupid. I forgot she just became black in like what 1991. Whatever moving on…just sing damn it!
I don’t like Mariah’s new single, especially what she is talking about. She is getting to old and I think her lyrics need to be more on a mature level. I don’t care for the cover either, but at least she isn’t bent over or exposing herself like she does in her videos. Lol, at her saying she understands that people think she is a ditzy moron. I would be upset if people thought that way of me.
Terrance coming out with an album, I can’t wait to hear how that will sound. He’s from Cleveland so I’m not going to say anything negative about him.
Classic what?????
Hate the Mariah cover. She could have done something so much better. That looks like it was a cheap photo shoot or something. Oh well at least the album will be good hopefully.
ooh i like mariah’s cover…it’s hot like her last one was…hope there are better songs than that first singe…
He is a cuttie. his blog was seen at “We a l t h yR o m a n c e.c o m” last week maybe she really feels alone.
WHY DOES MARIAH HAVE TO BE NAKED OR HALF NAKED ALL THE DAMN TIME!!!!! I MEAN REALLY SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS FOOLISHNESS TO ME???!!!!
SHE DOESN’T SING LIKE SHE USE TO, BUT SHE SURE DAMN NUFF LIKE SHOWING HER DAMN BODY!!
I KINDA LIKE WHEN TOMMY MOTTOLA HAD HER IN A CHOKE HOLD…AT LEAST SHE USE TO RELY SOLELY ON HER VOCAL TALENTS.
THAT RIGHT THERE…THAT HOT MESS COVER…MAKES ME FORGET MARIAH REALLY SHOWED HER REAL TALENT…THAT RIGHT THERE AND PLUS THAT HOT MESS ON SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE MAKES ME WANT TO ASK HER….”WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING MIMI????” CAN WE GO BACK TO WHEN YOU USE TO REALLY SING????
TERRENCE WAS ACTUALLY PLAYING THE GUITAR IN ‘THE BEST MAN’. I’M PRETTY SURE THAT’S WHAT HIS ALBUM WILL BE NOT THAT ‘HUSTLE AND FLOW’ RAPPING. I WOULD THINK HE HAS MORE SENSE THAN TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
um…so is T-Howard gonna be rapping a la DeeJay? LMAO…whatever. Can’t wait to hear that. LOL
Eva is so beautiful. I love that hair color she has now it works well with her skintone.
Mariah is BACK and this cover is tight!! Can’t wait 2 hear the CD.
IM SORRY BUT I GOTTA GOOGLE “DICHOTOMY” CAUSE I DON’T KINOW WHAT THE HECK IT MEANS…..(don’t act like Im the only one wondering)
Oh Mimi this is not working. After that lackluster performance on SNL you gonna have to do some more convincing. Not really feeling this cover. Touch My Body Remix ft The Dream is cute. But this cover looks like Emanciaption just covered in fur – NO!!!!!!!
I love Gnarls Barkley. I will def pick that up today.
Terrance Howard…hmmmmm I don’t know about that
mariah start selling your voice and not your body perlease
the cover is tacky tacky tacky!!!!
plus come up with better songs touch my body is embarrasingly bad
I’m in the number of people who thinks Mariah Carey is a ditzy moron. The woman is approaching forty and she’s making songs about youtube, wearing mini dresses, and daisy dukes. Give it a break already. I hate it when celebs don’t want to act their age.
Mariah is contridicting herself. In that interview she talking about how is like Mary Poppins bottoning people shirts…but then you see her butt ass naked on the cover of her magazine? Why is always naked? I don’t get it, I am so sick and tired of seeing Mariah in tacky ass, stripper-ish clothes!! Its really annoying!
Ok she has a “nice” body but there are many different types of clothes she can wear to display that in a classy way. She has an awesome voice but everything is tacky! Tacky! Tacky! She always looks cheap, like her outfits (or lack-there-of ) cost about $50 – TOTAL! Ok my rant is over.
I love Mariah I don’t like her image but I can’t get enough of her music. I love this album cover. It isn’t over done (how she usually likes it).
i love mariah and that cover!
mimi’s cover is aight but what the hell is up with the album’s name??? e-mc2?? does any one know? i was really hoping she would deliver a better follow up to the emancipation cd, she is going backwards not forwards. oh well
@5 i completely agree with you she totally different now she looks different her style is different and she even acts differently that’s why people think she’s ditzy because she play up to that role nobody said that about her back in the day she still……for the most part……put out good music
It REALLY looks like they did Mariah’s cover in Microsoft Word… Jesus, the 5th graders we tutor on the weekend turn in better projects than that! Lookin like a damn mixtape cover. FALSE!
BTW, does anyone know WHY she named it E=MC^2?? Maybe that’ll help me like it more……or hate it with even more of a passion, depending on the answer.
I like the pic a lot. I just hate the font.
@#32. E=MC2 stands for Emancipation=Mariah Carey to the second power. The little bitty 2 means squared. She’s channeling Albert Einstein with the title.
@23 lol i know i had to and you not the only one half the people on these blog can’t even spell third grade words like “because” or “enough”
@13 no her father is black so she’s been black since birth lol
Mariah has said that this album is Emancipation pt2 hence the cover being similar to her last. I think the cover is classic looking like some have said. I love the black and white and she has legs for days.
I’ve never understood why so many have given Mariah such a hard time because of the way she dresses. Why does someone’s age have to define how they should dress? She has a helluva of a body, no children, and lets face it sex sells. Sure she weas some tacky outfits from time to time but who doesnt in the entertainment business?
luv math!!! now if only she can really parallel it deeper to more than her name…
i can’t even imagine terrence h0ward having his 0wn rap album……this is b0und t0 be a c0mplete mess (s0rri i hate t0 be a hater) mariah’s c0ver l00ks awfully familar n0t really unique
LOL @ Mimi killing mother goose and using Microsoft Paint for the album cover. im through!!
I don’t know about an album from my Terrence. He’s cool but can he move units?
t i don’t give a crap about what the album cover looks like. i’m just waiting for that joint to drop. love you Mariah!
Someone explain to me….what should a 38 year old sing about……? At 38 do you stop visiting youtube? Do you wrinkle up and stop thinking about sex? Do you roll over and suddenly start wearing long dresses and believing you are not sexy? WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU SING ABOUT? You people actig like if at certain ages you sing about stuff and then when you hit 35 you start singing about world issues or politics…..GET A LIFE PEOPLE. Shes singing mainstream music….when Janet was singing about her first day period all of you were loving it….have any of you seen Madonnas album cover and listen to her singing about a candy shop? THERE ISNT ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.
YOU PEOPLE JUST FIND ANY REASON TO RUN YOUR MOUTHS AND HATE ON PEOPLE….SHUT THE FUCK UP….ITS SO POINTLESS!
I Miss MiMi Circa 1994-1996
If it ain’t jazzy…with him TALKING over the beat then i don’t want it Terrence
Terrence Howard is actually really good. He played guitar and sang to Tyra on The Tyra Show. Maybe there’s a clip on YouTube.
Hey everybody I found a new blog, donkeysip.com check it out.
@I couldnt agree more with you!!!
oops that was for 42.
Mariahs cover resembles Emancipations a little too much.
Isn’t Hating on someone else just a sign of Jealously. Where are her breast? Where is her Ass? where is her (well u know)? I just see a sexy woman standing there with some rug in front of her no sign to suggest shes actually naked behind it! Just like the cribs bath incident errr she had on a bikini behind that towel which reflects in the glass behind. you ppl need to stop it. 38? And-the-point-here-was? how old was James brown dancing his ass off (RIP), how old is Madonna with those damn slits and stuff, how old is Tina rocking it out with Beyonce in those tight trousers. Jay-Z is like 40 and he rock the same stuff i rock now 15 yrs his JNR. Age is a number get ova ya selves!!!!
Mariah seems like someone who makes the informed decision to portray herself as a bimbo. That’s a far cry from being a moron… She looks as though she very much wants to look Bambi and so she does… That makes her tacky, not stupid…
The only celebrity to be able to have plastic surgery everywhere and no comments on it….
She looks nothing like she did 15-20 years ago
GORGEOUS COVER. Go, Mariah. Very mature use of materials. Looks GREAT.
Gnarls, give it up Boo
#52
I think people don’t comment on mariah because she’s so over the top and tacky, honestly… Nobody has ever confused her with a stylish and serious person… She’s like some ageless oversexed Peter Pan or something… Someone who goes on about the color pink and teen movies is not really someone you’d be surprised to see with new tits, new abs, new thighs, and new honker… Ya know?

*********** wow at all these clebs actors/actresses-turned singing sensations!! i cant
>>> wait 4 half these albums cuz honelsty i nevere new they could sing…
@ 42 i couldnt agree with you more! i love the cover!!!!
Love the mariah cover. cant wait for the album!!
#55 You sound ridiculous.
Mariah has ONLY had a breat job or two. Thats the same not so perfect nose she has had since the beginning of her career. Make-up does wonders. And as far as abs, thighs, and legs done I hope you are joking because if not you are clueless to what eating healthy and working out can do. Mariah has flawless skin naturally and if she had all this body work done, how do you explain her weight fluctuating so much like a normal woman?
People hate on Mariah because it popular to do so and she is a easy target. But why make up stuff about her that u dont know to be true? Oh I forgot, ur a HATER
