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.

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

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.
