sent from heaven has been my fav. song on keyshia’s cd, the rest ehhh didnt listen

I’m curious.She wrote blog on a celeb dating site recently named “Searching Millionaire dotcom”. It attacted many fans. Is she feeling lonely?

i love heaven sent. i’ve been jamming 2 that all week

It is NOT the official remix for ‘Touch My Body’. It’s a fan remix. Listen to the quality… it’s just him rapping badly layed over her vocals.

Check MariahDaily.com… they’ll be the first to know when there’s a remix out.

Cmon, you may not like the song, but give MC some credit…. the girl always comes with a remix.

IMO mariah and Diddy are the King and Queen of Remix lol. Touch My Body Remix doesnt sound that much different from the original. Bur i agree with Brian the song is definately growing on me

I didn’t bother to listen to the Mariah track since I hate the original.

That Lloyd wit Luda the beat reminds me of MJ but I love Lloyd and it sounds hot!

Keyshia I never really paid attention to that song.

Could care less for Mariah’s remix..

Love Kelly’s song “Love Again”

Lloyd..Try again

I have to let Keyshia’s song grow on me

OK ENOUGH WITH BONE THUGS MARIAH. THEY PLAYED OUT…SHE PROBABLY SLEEPIN WITH THEM FOOLS.

KELLY JUST NEEDS 2 STOP…NOBODY CARES ABOUT HER OR HER FAT FRIEND BEYONCE ANYMORE. THEY BOTH NEED 2 SIT THE FUCK DOWN

LLYOD IS WACK, HIS HAIR IS WACK, HIS BODY IS WACK, HIS MUSIC IS WACK…AND IM SICK OF HEARING ABOUT THE FUCKIN A. WHAT ABOUT B,C,D? DAMN!!!!!!!!!

KEYSHIA COLE JUST WINES TOO MUCH. MY EARS BE BLEEDING AND SHIT. CANT LISTEN 2 THAT DEPRESSED BITCH.

What Mariah, you could get the Lil duffle bag boy for the re-mix.

I love you Kelly……but I’m glad CL kept that snippet short.

It must stay cloudy in the A, all they do is make it rain.

Keyshia, your family is f*ed up, and crazy as hell…..but, you can sang.!!!

I posted this remix to Mariah on my blog yesterday…it’s alright but I like Mariah

Kelly should have released some of the slow tracks on her album she would have fared much better those were the best parts of the album. I don’t do re-releases.

Lloyd put me on hold i wanna hear more! i really like it
i always loved his music and voice
i love LUDA too
he was just at my school lol

Bizzy messed that shit up. I have this imaginary vision of the video that’s more serious and he dorsn’t fit into that. I’m glad Keyshia is doing Heaven Sent next, it was my favorite at first listen. I agree, “I Remember” was a disappointment. I couldn’t stomach that blonde Anita Baker hairdo and that reappearing black ghost-man thing. It would be nice to have a good storyline this time around.

That’s not the official remix. He just remixes several peoples stuff on his own. The only official mix we have heard about is a Dave Morales club mix.

Nothing here is special to me.

NEXT!

Kelly is wasting her time re-relesing an album that did crap the first time round- she is cluless.
Mimi’s song has really grown on me, its one of my faves of the moment and can’t wait to see what she’ll come out with next

KEYSHIA COLE IS THE BEST!

That Kelly song “Love again” needs to be a single! where is the full….it sounds beautiful

‘Heaven Sent’ is the only song I really liked off of the album!

Yesterday, Island/Def Jam honcho L.A. Reid hosted a few journalists in his office for a special preview of Mariah Carey’s upcoming E=MC² album, tentatively due April 15. While Reid looked on, Mariah’s A&R man and long-rumored beau Mark Sudack played 12 of the album’s cuts from his laptop, often passionately (and adorably!) singing along. On the album, there was drama, there was death, there was disco. What follows is a track-by-track breakdown of our impressions of the album. Note that this isn’t the final track sequence, that L.A. ticked off the producers list to us but it is by no means etched in stone and the tracks that we heard weren’t always mastered.

One final note: so much of this album is sung in Mariah’s chest voice. The vocal gymnastics and whistle notes, while there (’cause, duh, it’s Mariah!), take a backseat to clear, purposeful singing, and Mariah sounds better for it. Oh yeah, Mimi’s back.

1. “Migrate” (co-produced by Danja) – After announcing itself with Mariah’s patented whistle notes, this club track gets to bangin’ and it takes that task really seriously. It’s about as meta as a banger gets, with Mariah explaining during the chorus how her night goes: “From the car to the club / We migrate / From the bar to the V.I.P. / We migrate.” And so it goes, from the party to the after party, from the after party to the hotel. There’s a slight autotune effect on Mariah’s voice on the last “migrate” of each chorus, which I assume is to put her on equal ground with the man she shares the mic with here. T-Pain, mercifully shows up for just a guest verse – this is not a full-blown duet. It’s a feisty track, with tough Storch-esque beats that Mariah’s bravado attempts to match: “If you’re inked up thuggin’, that’s what I like,” she says. See, I always thought she went for the pretty boys. Already we’re learning stuff!

2. “Touch My Body” (co-produced with Christopher “Tricky” Stewart and The-Dream) – There isn’t much to say about this ultra-femme track that wasn’t said when it leaked. Hard to believe that that was only a little more than week ago – in the time since, it’s become so ubiquitous that it’s kind of hard to imagine what radio was like before it. Even L.A. seemed taken aback by how quickly it has caught on – he described the track’s out-of-the-gate success as virtually accidental.

3. “Last Kiss” (co-produced by Jermaine Dupri) – One of the album’s many declarations of eternal love, this one is “We Belong Together, Part 35.” It’s nice but extremely safe. One thing that’s very much in its favor are Mariah’s vocals, which are nimble as they are in “We Belong Together” (she changes up her flow more times than I could count) and maybe more robust than they’ve sounded in over a decade. There’s a nice little duet at the end of this one between Mariah’s full chest voice and her higher register. Of course, if she didn’t show off that stellar natural resource, this wouldn’t be a Mariah Carey album.

4. “Lovin’ You Long Time” (co-produced by DJ Toomp) – Pure and utter joy is this one, which is most reminiscent of the lovely Mimi outtake “When I Feel It.” Except this one’s, like, 10 times better. The chorus of DeBarge’s “Stay With Me” is the foundation of this track (as opposed to the verses, which provided the foundation for the single remix of Biggie’s “One More Chance” and Ashanti’s “Foolish,” among tracks). However, the sample sounds more weathered, and overall, the track comes off as a ‘60s throwback rather than an ‘80s one. One hundred percent feel-good and packing in a killer breakdown and conclusion that’s a wall of Mariah voices, this was the first song that felt like the work of unstoppable pop genius.

5. “Thanx for Nothin’” (co-produced by Jermaine Durpri) – A mid-tempo ballad that sports a beat rougher than anything Jermaine Dupri has laid down for Mariah and a guitar line not unlike Mimi’s “So Lonely” (though this track is more sassy and less dour than that), “Thanx” suggests that Mariah and Jermaine aren’t sentenced to live in the shadow of their former glory and can actually make relatively new sounds together. Lyrically, this break-up track is a cross between the self-deprecating “Mine Again” (“I never knew enough about you, babe / And I guess I only have myself to blame”) and the streetwise posturing of “Get Your Number” (“Seems like all I do is think about your pseudo-romance / While you’re somewhere burnin’ diesel in the streets, havin’ laughs”). Mariah packs in so many lyrics that she barely has time to sing them, and sort of just growls them. It’s not nearly as ridiculous as that description might make it sound.

6. “That Chick” (co-produced by Stargate) – Instant. Classic. An absolutely brilliant disco track that plays on Mariah’s strengths and sexiness without ever crossing the line into indulgence. It’s slick, it’s chic (and Chic, with its slap-you-on-the-ass bass line), it’s silly (“La da da a oooh wee-wee” goes the bit between the chorus and the verses) and it carries a killer middle 8 that’s as exhilarating as the one in Michael Jackson’s “P.Y.T.” (you know, the best part of one of the best songs ever that goes, “Don’t you know nowwwww / Is the perfect time…”?). Mariah makes references to 2Pac and Biggie, compares herself to ice cream and the lottery and maybe even references the long-lost track from the Charmbracelet sessions “Touch the Sky.” Oh, and also she delivers the most her line of her career, complete with a 10-cent word: “I brings that levity.” Maybe one day they’ll bottle the essence of Mariah, but until then, we have “That Chick” and I seriously am counting down the days till I can hear this track again. This needs to be a single, like, now, and Mariah needs to dust off those “Heartbreaker” remix roller skates for the video, pronto.

7. “Cruise Control” (co-produced by Jermaine Dupri) – Another J.D. track that deviates from what could have been a detrimental pattern, this is a reggae-lite extended car metaphor (“I need a caddy wit some cruise control,” belts Mariah). The chorus consists of her spelling out, “C-R-U-I-S-E control” and the second verse finds Mariah adopting a Jamaican affect for kicks: “When da door open I de gals pon de block / They be hop-on, to rob the clock / Me say no mam / Step up step up / Bottle broken / Tink I’m jokin’.” Seriously, she says that. Damien Marley gets a guest verse, and I have to say, his shtick is a little more convincing.

8. “Side Effects” (co-produced by Scott Storch) – You know how sometimes Southern rap almost has a heavy metal feel? Mariah and Storch exploit that by turning out a Southern-fried power ballad that’s a thinly veiled portrait of her time under Tommy Mottola’s reign (“Hell we built, and I dealt with it…Kept my tears inside ‘cause I knew if I started, I’d keep cryin’ for the rest of my life with you / I finally built up the strength to walk away / Don’t regret it…”). For someone as guarded as Mariah is publicly, it’s shockingly frank (she alludes to “violent times”) and really naked (the titular side effects refer to the toll the relationship has taken on her: she’s “still a little depressed inside” and “still a little defensive thinkin’ folks be tryin’ to run my life”). This is another highlight, and having a rapper so associated with drugs (Jeezy) on a track called “Side Effects” that isn’t about drugs at all, only makes things cleverer.

9. “Love Story” (co-produced by Jermaine Dupri) – Anther ode to endless love (“This ain’t no fairy tale or fiction / This is truly ours for eternity”), this ballad is more of the baby-making ilk. It’s like Prince-lite with a synthesized beat a la “The Beautiful Ones,” but not as effects-laden (i.e. the beat doesn’t have the backwards sound). The melody is reminiscent of Mimi’s “Joyride,” and that should give you an indication of how sweet this track is.

10. “OOC” (co-produced by Swizz Beatz) – This one has a pummeling thump so pronounced, it’s somewhat surprising that it’s not the work of Stargate or Tricky. “OOC” stands for “out of control,” and while the track isn’t exactly wild, it’s a fun mix of The-Dream’s “Ditch That N…” with a melody like Blu Cantrell’s “Hit ‘Em Up Style.” Besides the hypnotic refrain of “Forever and ever,” the track is most notable for including the word motherf***er. As in, “I know y’all motherf***ers feel like we / When you’re messin’ with the one true lova / That makes you OOC.” Hardcore!

11. “Bye Bye” (co-produced by Stargate) – When Mariah first started promoting Mimi, she described “We Belong Together” as a cross between “Breakdown” and “One Sweet Day.” That description is infinitely more appropriate for “Bye Bye,” a song about death that’s “for my people who just lost somebody,” “for my people who lost their grandmothers” and seemingly for Mariah’s departed father, Alfred Roy (“You never got to see me back at No. 1”). It’s nice that Mariah’s on a confessional kick, although a track with the “We Belong Together” sonic template and lyrics tailored appeal to everyone on such a basic level seems like too easy of a combination for someone as established as Mimi. This one’s like insurance – in case nothing else is a hit, here’s a sure-shot. But ultimately, it turns out that the album is too good for that.

12. “I Wish You Well” (co-produced by James Poyser) – We were told that this was hot off the presses and a very rough version of the song, but even in its unpolished state, it was a stunner. A piano ballad that features Mariah, some gospel-tinged backing vocals, a piano and that’s it, this track is a throwback to the fan-favorite “Vanishing” from her 1990 debut. Part feisty (“You can’t manipulate me like before”) and totally spiritual (Mariah name-checks a bible verse in the chorus, although I couldn’t catch exactly what it was, and she ends the song repeating, “The Lord is my salvation / I will trust in him”), “I Wish You Well” will have fans wetting themselves. It’s gorgeous and in its simplistic way, the type of risk that Mariah should take more often.

The risky moments on the album (”Lovin’ You Long Time,” “That Chick,” “Side Effects” and “I Wish You Well”) bode well for the future. Though E=MC² feels extremely safe, there’s enough variation to signify some artistic growth. She’s cranking out hits and that’s fine because that’s what she’s always done (hitmaking is her medium), but when she goes out of the Top 40 comfort zone, the album truly soars. Over 10 years after she first sang about it, it’s only now that Mariah has worked up the courage to really spread her wings. The next question is: how high can they take her?

After ‘Street Love’ I was a fan of Llyod’s too. That album was FIRE.. I don’t understand why it didn’t really blow up.. Does anyone know how many copies he sold. That cd is in constant rotation. BOOOOOO on Mariah.. her and Janet (although I did buy her new cd) need to plan a retirement party.. They’ve already accomplished so much.. It’s time to pass the torch. Mz Kelly.. Love her personality, but homegirls voice isn’t great to me.. her notes be off and she doesn’t have solo artist capabilities…. Am I the only one who notices that?? Keyshia’s album is good, I think Frankie and ‘nem helped blow her up.. after seein that HAM of a show, I couldn’t help but constantly think about when her CD was droppin.

Thanks for posting new music! I’ve needed something new to listen to and I always check here first! I’ve been waiting here for a while. Thanks for not forgetting about CL readers!

kelly rowland is full shyt … she got boob implants to looks good in designer outfits???? hmmmmm next thing she wud b lightening her skin to look better infront of da cameras…don’t even pay attention to her anymore,

keyshia= liking that song

MC do love her some Bone Thugs…

I really like Kelly Rowland’s voice. Unfortunately, Beyonce’s star shines so bright that it burned any chance of her having a career sans Destiny Child…

There are a few other songs on Keyshia’s CD that I would have shose as singles but I do like “Heaven Sent”

Ummm, Lloyd can sit down… and get his hair braided because I’m not feeling that

BRIAN, CAN YOU FIND THE BRANDY SINGLE, “DIG THAT” FROM THE “MEET THE BROWNS” SOUNDTRACK?

>> imma have to listen to these they all sound good…

>> lol at his hair braiding i can braid # (above me):)

LOL@ all the comments about Kelly

@23 go sit down somewhere pls cause you got me crying with those comments about Kelly lol OMG, ur funny

I loved KC’s album and Heaven Sent was one of my favs so I”m glad she choose that one although I played that song out

Love Mimi but not this remix, it’s not official so I’ll wait.

…i think a lot of people have missed the concept of the vid…let’s all at least realize that it was a take off on the tv show BEAUTY AND THE GEEK and as opposed to her being hypersexual like the title of the single “touch my body” might suggest she instead made it humourous to sidestep any controversy or puritanical attitudes…O.K.?

omg sent from heaven is my shit. this song help get through so much relationship issues i had with my man edwin p. he put me through hell but at times he put me in heaven diffenetly more the anything else

ITS TOO LATE KEYSHIA, HEAVEN SENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HER SECOND SINGLE, IF IT WAS SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN PLATINUM. I DONE PLAYED THIS SONG OUT. LOL!

I cant wait for mimi’s album i hope she does like 300k her first week and SAVE DEF JAM LIKE SHE DID LAST TIME LOL!

thats not an official touch my body remix!

HEAVEN SENT IS THE SHIT, I LOVE THAT SONG

heaven sent is corny as hell.

the Kelly songs sound amazing … Love Again sounds amazing

this is really old…hit me up if u need the full version

im talkin bout the lloyd track of course

That TMB remix suck ass. Thank God it’s not official. Ya’ll know my girl Mariah be throwin it down with the hot ass remixes. She’s like R. Kelly when it comes down to the ish.

The keyshia cole song heaven send is also on the The Game show when Darwin tried to make up with Melanie….. is soo nice

mariah did 300,000 on the last album. I think she’s going for 600000 this time around

Dem songs sound hott!!!!!!

Lloyd’s last album was titled “StreetLove” not ‘Street life’ but this song really has to grow on me. I’ve heard the full verison before and from what I heard, the best part of the song was Luda’s verse. Now I’m not dissing Lloyd in this song but I just need to hear is more in order for me to start liking it.

Ummm, Brian Lloyd’s album was called “Street Love” not “Street Life” lol!

I really hate that Mariah Carey song. She could have picked something better than that shit.

How We Do It The A????? does he means ASS! LOL!!!

Love Lloyd…Street Love is SO underrated.

I LOVE KEYSHIA COLE! I THINK THAT “SENT FROM HEAVEN” WILL BE A GOOD SINGLE. I LOVE KEYSHIA’S WHOLE ALBUM, I LOVED ALL HER VIDEOS. SHE IS A VERY TALENTED AND BLESSED INDIVIDUAL. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. DROP ANOTHER ALBUM AND I WILL BUY THAT TOO. STOP HATIN ON HER FOR DOIN HER THANG. U WACK IF YOU THINK SHE WACK!!!!!!!!

Heaven Sent is the best song on the album. Damn I should’ve sent her a video treatment cause I had a great idea. Can’t wait to see what they do.

We should just accept everyone for who they are!! Some have good talent and some dont! They were just blessed with the opportunity to do what they love! And evidently yall opportunity is sitting online blogging about celebs!!

When indeed we all have flaws!!

OMG!! Sho_Nuff!! U crazyy..HAHAH!! HAHA!! AHHHHH!! Ur too much..ROTFL..Ur a mess!! OMG!! I can’t breath!LMAO!!

Mariah-Garbage
Keyshia Cole-Still don’t know how this chick got a deal and her music is depressing as hell. All her songs are i lost my man, my man left, my man don’t love me, have u seen my man, my mama slept with my man. my man ain’t got no job, my man ate all my food. - Oh yeah the track is trash:-)
Kelly Rowland- I liked Ms. kelly, they just didn’t release the right songs’
Lloyd-Kool song and I agree with everyne Street love was VERY underrated

Luv Lloyd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kelly please give it up, ur wack as hell. go somewhere and ride on beyonces nutt sack like normally do.

Touch My Body is a awful song and video.

I still don’t like that song by Mariah. Its WEAK for a first song .Waiting on the second song.

Keyshia Cole, STILL SINGING BEYOND HER ABILITIES

Mariah always seems to come out with hits.

Mimi - buying the album..

Lloyd - love you!

Kelly - Love ‘Love again’ sounds real deep..

ok i’m gonna buy keishia album. that song is fire !!!

Love Mi Mi
Kelly needs to throw in the towel : (
Loyd no comment
Keishya’s album is horrible I want my $13.99 back.

Not feeling Mariah’s wackass “Touch my Body” period, remox or not. It’s so lame!!!! The video too!!!!

@60

you trippin THAT WHOLE ALBUM IS FIYAH!
quit hating

u r old with that llyod track ive been bumping dat in my ipod 4 weekz lol dnt really care 4 the rest except keyshia cole im waiting for her 2 come to the u.k

Keyshia= thatsong is ok

Lloyd= Don’t like his voice on this song

Kelly= Don’t like either one of them songs

Mariah= Don’t like the video, song isn’t a club banger but its ok. Remix, i can’t understand what BTNH is saying

I’M GONNA NEED A LITTLE MORE FROM ALL OF THESE ARTISTS THESE SINGLES ARE NOT DOING IT FOR ME !!! NOT TERRIBLY BAD BUT NOT CRAZY HOTT SINGLES

Uggh, that is not the official remix to ‘Touch My Body’ and I’m beyond annoyed that it was even posted. Its so obviously cheaply made. And Brian annoys the f@ck out of me. He trashed the song when it came out, now its your greatest gainer on your play list? I knew the song was fire from the jump. Maybe you should listen to a song more than one time before you post your critiques of songs. Anyways, the official remix of ‘Touch My Body’ features ‘The Dream’, and its pretty hot. I sent it into CL, maybe they’ll post it.

Lloyd looks like a complete tool in that photo. I could barely recognize him!

Go Kelly, liking it!

That’s def. Not the official remix…Your right brian there was something funny about bizzy’s voice. His part seemed poor quality.

you haters don’t seem to amaze me those 2 songs from kelly are hot but you just don’t quit hating on this chick. you even like keyshia’s songs better are you serious? that girl can not even sing the national anthem. unbelievable. stop comparing kelly to beyonce they are 2 very different people. both very talented but 1 is not being given a chance in this lifetime. it’s a shame.

LMAOOO @ #8 UP THERE^^^ YEAH THats real my dude

Mariah really needs to grow up and get a mature look. I saw part of the video of “Touch my body” and wasn’t impressed.

Kelly R…….Sorry but I stopped being a fan a long time ago.

Keysha….I have this CD and love it. Heaven Sent was one of my favorites on the CD. It’s really a beautiful song. And I agree with Angel, I did not care for that “I Remember” video.

People are still calling ppl haters??? LOL Keyshia is my girl and yet ppl have said some nasty things on here about her and I don’t get upset and start foaming at the mouth b/c that’s their opinion. Just like its ppl’s opinion if they don’t like Mariah or Kelly’s wack singles.

Keyshia is a soulful singer. I believe her album is already platinum. Did Kelly even go gold? NUFF SAID

Ppl show their age when they start with that hater sh**

I can’t listen 2 anything by Keshia she always seem like she crying on da track
