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!

My boyfriend has been putting it on in the morning before he leaves for work and I'm in bed, and it's amazing.

on idol she prefaced the video by saying to the competitors "you can't let your label dictate your style. in a video it's my time to be exactly who i want" or something
― surm, Friday, 10 May 2013 01:13 (ten years ago) link
bit surprised that Mariah opted to show clam in this vid but ey it's 2013 we're an advanced people.
Also, song is so good, every bit of it. Will there be any other Miguel-assisted tracks on the album?
― ohmigud (Merdeyeux), Friday, 10 May 2013 01:13 (ten years ago) link
I didn't expect much other than what we got from her in this vid, tbqh
her dancing is now just variations on pinup poses
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 10 May 2013 01:14 (ten years ago) link
she reminds me of Britney's enervated aerobics of "Gimme More" in fall '07.

Yall are crazy, what's pop music for if not hot babes writhing on motorcycles?
Also, filling a barn w awesome huge chandeliers and an expensive car.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 10 May 2013 01:33 (ten years ago) link
they shot the video half in a barn w/ candlelight + instagram kelvin filter, half during the golden hour
theyre really pushing for that late summer afternoon vibe, really trying hard to make this summer thing happen
― 乒乓, Friday, 10 May 2013 01:33 (ten years ago) link
the swears are still in there - and the mariah shrieks were there already too?
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 10 May 2013 01:44 (ten years ago) link
I don't think the mariah shreaks are in the itunes versh
― 乒乓, Friday, 10 May 2013 01:46 (ten years ago) link
yeah i really wanted this video to just be them on a motorbike for the whole song. the chemistry between them in the video is kinda cute tho, especially miguel's kind of incredulous/thrilled expressions as mariah dances for him in the barn
― 1staethyr, Friday, 10 May 2013 01:47 (ten years ago) link
the little mariah squeaks/shrieks over the blanked-out swears aren't on the itunes version
― 1staethyr, Friday, 10 May 2013 01:48 (ten years ago) link
oh huh sry, I didn't catch that I guess
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 10 May 2013 01:48 (ten years ago) link
video needed more close-ups of mariah, and in particular one when she sings the "OH HOW YOU THRILL ME!" line
― monotony, Friday, 10 May 2013 01:53 (ten years ago) link
i don't think i need to hear the unedited version actually, this song is too sweet for swears

xpost yeah I was kind of bummed they missed that
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 10 May 2013 01:59 (ten years ago) link
this video makes way more sense once you realise it's a rich and totally insane miguel alone on his vast private estate hanging out with an imaginary mariah hallucination
last shot should have been men in white coats arriving as he frenches a tree

That's my favorite song on the album even with Whale.
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.'

dedicated is still the baddest shit not on the radio
the songs on this album hold up really well, especially in light of disappointments like the ariana grande album, but i still think the sequencing does them a real disservice - i keep needing to skip around to hear what i want in the order that feels right
― lex pretend, Monday, 29 September 2014 13:19 (nine years ago) link
there's like 10 extra songs that don't need to be on the album

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.
― Tim F, Thursday, 1 November 2018 14:40 (five years ago) link
I've only heard "GTFO" but it's good! Pairs nicely with Toni's "FOH"
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Thursday, 1 November 2018 14:42 (five years ago) link
"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
― dyl, Saturday, 3 November 2018 02:15 (five years ago) link
With You is really nice

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.
