I just sat through the almost two-minute video she posted about "You're Mine" and it ended up being a video touting her accomplishments and awards won set to "We Belong Together" with not even a clip of the upcoming single :(

i don't think i've heard Mariah like this in a long time
also: 2 of my coworkers just won a contest to go spend Valentine's Day with Mariah and hear her perform You're Mine at her penthouse. just them. and her.
they both live together and they are mariah stans, and i hate them.

about to listen to the studio version, downloading. very VERY high hopes (and pipes, hopefully)
the we belong together comparison hit me upon hearing the first 30 seconds of the song; in the best way possible. not in the bad way.
i can't believe i am about to listen to this.
m bison i am going to email you this week about some other personal bizness fyi

"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.

Dunno about this song: my least favorite of the leaked tracks.
― Bryan Fairy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 17 February 2014 18:09 (ten years ago) link
they're all official singles, not leaks, right?
i like it but haven't really been in any sort of mood where it might be revelatory since last week
― lex pretend, Monday, 17 February 2014 18:13 (ten years ago) link
surprised, Alfred!
triumphant may not make the cut, according to rumor. and she might change the album title.
― 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:
Rhythmic:Taking Off (#1):4 new stations; 85 new spinsSpincrease:40 stations playing; +177 spins (+24)
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)
no idea what that means but i found it somewhere
― surm, Monday, 17 February 2014 20:53 (ten years ago) link
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)
Billboard Social 50: #38 (Last week: #41)
but you're saying itunes is a big projector?
