It's time to hear Mariah on the radio again.
She's talked about the upcoming album; it has more ballads than you'd expect, and she says she wants [these last few albums] to be just as quality as her first few. Mariah also just split with manager and Idol co-star Randy Jackson due to scheduling conflicts and signed a contract with Red Light Management (Alicia Keys, Faith Hill). We can expect the album in the first half of the summer, but as to the content, expectations are less clear. Mariah's team has said that there will be a mix of styles and formats on the record.
#Beautiful starring Mariah and Miguel is a great radio song, and ready for pretty much any format. Collaborations with The-Dream, Hit-Boy and Jermaine are rumored for the upcoming record, and early chart performance for #Beautiful is looking good. The video premieres tonight!

Due to garnering an audience impression of 29 million across all radio channel formats within one day of its release, Billboard predicted on May 7, 2013 that "#Beautiful" will debut inside the top 50 of the US Radio Songs chart.[22] It was noted that due to the song only being made available to download on May 6, 2013, that only the airplay figures would count towards its US Billboard Hot 100 chart position, if it were to chart. It is predicted that the song will sell more than 100,000 downloads by May 12, 2013.[22] The following day on May 8, 2013, Billboard reported that audience impressions had risen to 31 million and that although the airplay for "#Beautiful" was not enough to chart on the Hot 100 chart, it had debuted on the Radio Songs chart at number 4

http://snpsnpsnp.tumblr.com/post/49783717234/heyyyy-so-there-were-four-months-during-which-i
Heyyyy. So. There were four months during which I thought maybe I wouldn’t be in love again, I mean, not with a boy, and maybe that would be fine because New York and women, but then not fine because you can’t spend all day in bed eating grapes with the Empire State Building, and your friends like you too much to have sex with you, and also, you want boys, you want a boy’s capacity to surprise you. Like this song. Which has the cheeeeesiest image. Shit looks like social media marketing for a long-delayed Lifetime movie about a hard-done single MILF falling reluctantly in love with her neighbour’s son, who is home for the summer with a career-ending college ball injury that yet permits him to ride motorcycles and break into infinity pools and fuck her standing against the scaffolding of an abandoned construction site, which is soft-focus spectacular, but then what happens when her redneck baby daddy gets out of NA with a fresh shave and a practical four-wheeler?
In conclusion: I’ve been listening to this song all day, and no matter how good you think it will be, you will be wrong. It’s better. Bye.

her adorable extended essay on the art of mixing on facebook <3
Hey Lambs, I have to tell you this, I can't do what I always do and say nothing at all. It is 3:30am (11.14), and I'm sitting on my bathroom floor, very upset by some news I just got from a close friend and employee. Lucky her, she was "nominated" to deliver this message to me after the long awaited 11.11 moment and the Jimmy Fallon show, knowing how upset I would be. Not because the world has come to an end or something, but because this 11.11 listening party was so important to me on a core level as a musician, who cares so much about how my fans hear my music for the first time that I didn't even allow a snippet to be released until 11 on the dot.
To cut to the chase, a mistake was made by a brand new sound engineer whose only task was to press the space bar and upload the song to Facebook, while my team, and an incredible group of people from Facebook, partied while listening to the properly mixed & mastered version of "The Art of Letting Go" on repeat from my iPod on my home speakers. Clearly, I was focused on answering your questions during the Q&A. There was no reason for me to wonder if the final mix we were listening to in that room together was different than what you were listening to!!!!! Like I always say, I am involved with every record I make, from the inception to the completion of the song. Every nuance of the beat or vocal matters to me. Even if the differences may seem slight to you, I had put time, effort and emotions into "The Art of Letting Go" and the real mix is how I intended for you to hear the song.
Rather than remove the old version from Facebook (the iTunes version is the real one), I just figured I would put up the real mix and allow you to listen to it back-to-back, should you choose to do so and tell me what you think the differences are.I want you to hear it like you're hearing it for the first time with me, and I will answer any questions that you have, pertaining to the song. You know that I don't comment on gossip, I typically don't respond to things like this or go into so much detail to the world, but this is something I'm upset about and I wish I would have known sooner.
There's no doubt in my mind that this sounds like a self absorbed diva on a "woe-is-me" tangent about a couple of ad libs or some other triviality, but the reality is this is me, focusing solely on the record, wanting you to hear it and experience it the right way. I love and appreciate you so much for taking the time to even glance at this 20-page "diva in distress" thesis. Thank you for letting me vent, this is another reason why Facebook rocks! You'll be hearing from me soon. Here is the REAL version of "The Art of Letting Go".
Answers these questions for me:1. Can you hear a difference at all?2. Can you see why I like this version better?3. Where can you hear the differences?4. Does the song affect you different emotionally after hearing the real version?
Let's talk about it, I'll be here waiting!

"Mimi being Mimi: Mariah Carey dropped her new single a little early today (February 12)! The diva posted “You’re Mine (Eternal),” an understated ballad co-written with Darkchild that fits right alongside the effortlessness of “Beautiful.” While not as immediately catchy as that song, this one’s got a nice, lilting beat and should keep fans satisfied about the direction she’s going in for this latest era.
Mimi reins in her powers for much of the song, making listeners wait for the payoff at the end, which of course is a triumphant whistle register to close out the track."
i don't know much about idolator and they've gotten it wrong in the past, but i don't disagree
― surm, Friday, 14 February 2014 05:04 (ten years ago) link
wondering what the outlook for this single is going to be. anyone with any industry insight wit any predictions?
i wrote my letter to Mariah yesterday. i printed it on pink paper in brush script, and i included a handwritten note indicating that my handwriting was too treacherous to write it by hand. i put it in a nice gray envelope sealed with binder clips with "MC" written in big, bright red letters on the front. she will get it tonight when my friends hand-deliver it to her at her private concert in NYC.
― surm, Monday, 17 February 2014 16:03 (ten years ago) link

― surm, Monday, 17 February 2014 19:09 (ten years ago) link
the only thing gross about the art of letting go the song is her use of the word "triflin'"
not so necessary. apart from that i'm v much behind the songs so far.
― surm, Monday, 17 February 2014 19:25 (ten years ago) link
so apparently the only 2 songs being considered official singles are Beautiful and You're Mine, and as of yesterday:

Urban:Spincrease:26 stations playing; +47 spins (+9)
Urban AC:Spincrease:28 stations playing; +30 spins (+1)
MARIAH CAREY – You’re Mine (Eternal): 5.087 (+ 0.731)

Well, You're Mine dropped out of the US iTunes Top 100 Singles after just four days today, indicating that it might bomb just as hard as Triumphant, Almost Home and The Art of Letting Go did. No buyers for Old School Mariah anymore, it seems. Only the #freshapproach seems to work.
― breastcrawl, Monday, 17 February 2014 21:36 (ten years ago) link
was "The Art of Letting Go" ever worked to radio, or even given any kind of radio debut anywhere like "Beautiful" was? i never got the sense it got any kind of push.
― Waluigi Weingarten (some dude), Monday, 17 February 2014 21:40 (ten years ago) link
"#beautiful" was pretty retro itself. mariah refusing to concern herself with scoring hits worked so well on memoirs and i wish she wouldn't think about it so much.
― lex pretend, Monday, 17 February 2014 23:42 (ten years ago) link
"#Beautiful" was retroish because Miguel incorporates retro elements in his very current style, and it was something #fresh for Mariah, unlike the We Belong Together Redux of "You're Mine". I mean, I like it (and I loved "The Art of Letting Go"), but the Trademark Old Formula is not going to give her any hits anymore if that's what she's hoping for. Sorry, surm!
― breastcrawl, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 21:05 (ten years ago) link
you don't think so? :( i think you're mine sounds pretty #fresh in terms of all the other shit on the radio. and the verse is pure #Beautiful, if downtempo, if you want to be honest.
art of letting go was never pushed for radio, it was just a "preview"
well, there's this - from the March 1 Billboard:"You're Mine (Eternal)"Hot 100: #88 (New entry)Hot R&B Songs: #15 (New entry)Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs: #24 (New entry)R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs: #12 (New entry)

It's not off to the best start on radio either.
― Greer, Saturday, 22 February 2014 01:41 (ten years ago) link
iTunes is definitely the main projector. The only way you can get a smash hit in the US without significant sales is when the song goes viral on YouTube a la "Harlem Shake" (so fingers crossed for the video I guess). Radio is not gonna go overboard on a song if nobody's buying it. And I would think it's the younger audience that predominantly buys single tracks, yes.(And sales-wise it's the same all over the world: in most countries it was in the iTunes Top 100 for just a couple of days. For instance, Russia is the only European country where it's still in there.) #yesiwatchthecharts
― breastcrawl, Saturday, 22 February 2014 16:37 (ten years ago) link
if you're talking about pop hits, yeah, iTunes is king. but R&B radio (and country radio, and rock radio) still pick up on songs all the time without digital sales being a factor.

"you're mine (eternal)" totally clicked yesterday, all it needed was a momentary break from hectic life stuff and some sun streaming in through my window <33333
it is such a delicate crystal vase of a song, which makes the gradual realisation that it's an anguished and hopeless reverie all the more affecting
these are three pretty different singles so far, no idea what to expect from the album...

it is, as are "#beautiful" and "the art of letting go", but i love that a) none of them are her resting on her laurels and churning out the kind of her people will automatically lap up, b) mariah invests being herself with this tremendously affecting hard-won air

Collaborators:
The album boasts a long list of collaborators (both rumored and confirmed) that could hopefully see Mimi taking some risks:
-Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins: A previous Mariah collaborator ("So Lonely" featuring Twista) produced single "The Art of Letting Go."
-Q-Tip: The Tribe Called Quest frontman told us he was working on the album in August 2012.
-Jermaine Dupri: A producer working with Mariah since the '90s ("Always Be My Baby," "Sweetheart," "We Belong Together"). Watch their undeniably chemistry in this Fuse News interview.
-David Morales: The dancefloor maestro who's served remixes like the "My All (Morales 'My' Club Remix)," featured on Mimi's official The Remixes album.
-Bryan-Michael Cox: A producer with two singles off her comeback album The Emancipation of Mimi ("Shake It Off" and "Don't Forget About Us").
-Hit-Boy: A new Mimi collaborator, rumored to have crafted a track titled "Thirsty." He's risen to A-list producer status with tracks like Kanye West & Jay Z's "N****s in Paris," Beyonce's "XO" and Lil Wayne's "Drop the World."
-The-Dream: A recent favorite of Mariah who worked on her last No. 1, "Touch My Body," and co-produced almost every track on her Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel LP.
-Mike WiLL Made It: R&B-pop's go-to guy, (Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop," Ciara's "Body Party") is a new collaborator for Mimi, confirmed in a Billboard interview.
-R. Kelly: While Mariah teased a studio snap with Kellz saying "working on a new song!" we're wondering if it's for the Chicago crooner's Trapped in the Closet series. No official word yet.
-Loris Holland: The singer tweeted she was in the studio with Holland, who worked on her past albums such as 1995's Daydream and 2005's The Emancipation of Mimi.
-Fabolous: While posting on Instagram about a night in the studio, Mariah posted a pic that she was "doing a different record now" and tagged the Brooklyn rapper. The collaborated on the track "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" off Mimi's Glitter soundtrack.

she's releasing the album to itunes next month. could be may 6th as planned but might be some other time.
― prolego, Friday, 25 April 2014 09:26 (ten years ago) link
probably the best strategy possible at this point (considering the label won't allow another pushback) considering it'll save her the face of releasing a fourth lead single and she can generate some press out of the move. plus as a notorious perfectionist she can work on it till the second it drops pretty much, which is good

i don't think mimi quite grasps quite the word "surprise" means. four singles, billboard announcement, release date in the month that it's been scheduled for ≠ surprise
intrigued by wtf she's going for though - i've loved everything so far but i have no idea whether she wants this to be an album for tru heads à la memoirs ("you're mine" suggested that commercial smashing wasn't a priority) or HITZ ("#beautiful", and the endless delays, suggest she wants these too...)

i'm resigned to none of these singles being hits but i'm pretty optimistic about this album given her last few and the people who worked on this one
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 13 May 2014 16:18 (nine years ago) link
the lack of hits hasn't correlated with the quality of her music since like 2005 so i'm not really awaiting that smash single either
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 16:21 (nine years ago) link
i mean, e=mc2 was packed with hits and she still managed to mostly fuck the campaign up, then memoirs pretty explicitly didn't aim for hits, so it's a moot point really
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 16:22 (nine years ago) link

"Beautiful" went platinum though. It's kind of a hit. Not a smash, but casual radio listeners are aware of it. #81 for the year http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Year-End_Hot_100_singles_of_2013 so it's about as much of a hit as "Adorn" or "Swimming Pools."
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 20:36 (nine years ago) link
I've heard it at bars.
well sure, it got out there a bit. it's just being measured against, y'know, 18 career #1s and a gigantic comeback less than a decade ago.
― some dude, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 20:41 (nine years ago) link
yeah of course. i guess i'm just always surprised how many people are aware of it considering it didn't place Top 10, compared to songs that no one remembers that actually achieved single-digit status.

!!
now that i listened to this song a bit, i feel like it's done what triumphant was trying to do better. but if it really wanted to be a flat out kickass song, she woulda focuzed on the "u tryin to be a boss now" hook in a major way.

― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Tuesday, 20 May 2014 16:34 (nine years ago) link
listening to a shitty rip that's missing a couple of the songs but on first listen this seems to have a lot of real peaks but also feels more of a hodgepodge than memoirs - i felt that may have shied away from anything immediate but it felt conceived as a really well-sequenced album qua album, whereas this has something of a "just shove everything i've recorded over the past few years into one file" feel about it. but apart from the final ballads that i don't particularly care about most of it seems good-to-great at least
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 09:19 (nine years ago) link

― maura, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 19:17 (nine years ago) link

it has happened except they didn't record it
http://chooniverse.tumblr.com/post/89146030996/for-the-part-of-the-song-that-goes-people-like
'For the part of the song [that goes] “People like you fuck people like me,” I wanted a screamer. So I called like three screamers. I called Gerard Way, who didn’t answer because he didn’t recognize the phone number. I called Brody. I called somebody else; nobody was around. I thought Billie Joe [Armstrong of Green Day] was around; he wasn’t around. So, I went over to my friend Bret’s house, and he’s a director … I [told him I] was too pitchy to scream this part. And this little voice goes, “I can sing it,” and I’m like “Who’s that?” And the little voice goes, “It’s Mariah.” And I’m like, “Okay, Mariah Carey, you cannot sing ‘People like you fuck people like me.’” She goes, “Yes I can. I did a rock record once; we just never released it.” So I went over there, and there’s no recording of it, but it was the two of us screaming—and she can rock sing. Mariah, she’s a badass. Like, she could rock sing. I couldn’t even believe it.'

I knew I could count on you, Jordan.

I have liked all of the singles so far and I think this might be the best yet? Or maybe it's just that the beat is so extroverted.
Mariah has the best "I ain't even trying" singing voice at this point.

I've only heard "GTFO" but it's good! Pairs nicely with Toni's "FOH"

"gtfo" is cute but was practically built to have a short shelf life. meanwhile "with you" despite obviously fitting comfortably into a well-worn mariah-song mold continues to sound better the more i hear/play it

With You is really nice
― Dan S, Saturday, 3 November 2018 04:37 (five years ago) link
I've been waiting for so long for someone to sample that exact part of "Crush On You" and I'm so glad it was Mariah who did it

with you is so good

Impressed by the new record, even though it doesn’t really have any huge, “wow” moments in particular - just consistently great all the way through
― monotony, Friday, 16 November 2018 13:07 (five years ago) link
another delightful mariah carey record

More lean, short pop albums like this please.
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Saturday, 17 November 2018 19:43 (five years ago) link
I think this might be my favourite Mariah Carey album. As Monotony said, it's just great all the way through.

this is a really good interview that goes deep into her songwriting (though it's an hour long so i ripped the subtitles to read it as a transcription instead lol)
― ufo, Sunday, 18 November 2018 14:15 (five years ago) link
halfway through it and ufo, you're missing out, some of the faces she makes and accents she pulls are hysterical
― boxedjoy, Sunday, 18 November 2018 15:48 (five years ago) link
ufo that is a brilliant idea
― niels, Monday, 19 November 2018 22:03 (five years ago) link
Thanks for reminding me of this.

"giving me life" is fucking phenomenal
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Tuesday, 20 November 2018 02:10 (five years ago) link
This has just basically come out of nowhere for me to all of a sudden be one of my favourite albums of the year. "The Distance" and "Stay Long Love You" are so good. And the outtros to "Giving Me Life" and "8th Grade"!!
That Genius interview is a fantastic watch as well.

This album… so good.
