Mariah Upcoming Release Thread 2013 // #Beautiful feat. Miguel

"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."

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.

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.

let's not forget Obsessed climbing up to #7 when Memoirs came out! weeeee!

i remember obsessed spending several weeks at #11 before airplay finally pushed it to #7 and finding it very funny

oh yeah and this new song is garbage, what a waste of such a #buzzworthy title

"#Beautiful" significantly outlasted its chart run on radio here

i like it. it's like a schmaltzier Migrate.

you tryin to be a boss nowwwwwwwwww

mariah's a cappellas o_O

"One More Try" is a cover of George Michael's 1988 single of the same name.

;,)

!!

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.

probably that should have been the chorus, and the chorus shoulda been the bridge. crazy hot hook.

internets responding well.

priceless performance on the Today Show - a new song! 'You Don't Know What To Do' (dunno the official title off the top of my head)

plus Heidi Klum in the audience. killer. it's the 2nd clip down.

"You Don't Know What To Do" sounds great!

woah now that's more like it! totally classic mariah rollerskating spring jam right there.

yes!!

it's super low key, doesn't really sound that different from "memoirs"

I really like "Dedicated" and "Meteorite".

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

oh my god fabolous' bite of "trophies" on this album is so blatant that it has to be intentional right?

i actually think it's very nicely sequenced!

Yeah my initial worry when they seemed to just be pushing the album out to finally get something out was that it would be a hodgepodge of material, but I think it all flows really well actually.

it definitely starts like a hilarious impression of shouty Drake but then he says "baby baby" in a Biggie voice without changing tone at all, pretty funny Fab foolishness

i listened to the album

"dedicated" is so good

here were my notes for dedicated:
dedicated

A+++
