E=MC2

Emancipation of Mariah Carey to the Power of 2.

Or put it simply, it IS Mariah Carey to the Power of Two!

On a roll and unstoppable right now.

What this means is that if Emancipation was one hella good comeback for her, this new album is Da Bomb.

Less showy than Emancipation but no less hit-filled.

More personal and also more relatable and when you feel it, you've got yourself another hit for sure.

That said, it explains Carey's 18th #1 hit, 'Touch my Body'.

Songs in E=MC2 hits hard on the dance floor and harder where it matters; our hearts and souls.

But clearly, this album does an amazing job of showing how versatile and relevant Mariah Carey is even after so many years at the top.

A true sign of a Superstar.

On tracks like 'Migrate' and 'Touch my Body', she shows how even after nearly 2 decades, she's hip and cool and still working with some of the biggest producers and very much abreast of things.

On tracks like 'I'll be Lovin U long Time' are timeless upbeats that is the epitome of an artist of her calibre. A big jack-swing threatrical number.

There are songs like 'I'm that Chick' and 'Last Kiss' among others

chronicles her journey from fresh faced ingenue to mega Superstar that would one day be capable of beating the crap out of others in her league (namely The Beatles, Elvis, Madonna and Whitney).

And my favorite tracks, which I do have a sneeky suspicion will cruise her to her next few chart toppers, for sure, would be the reggae-fied 'Cruise Control' , 'I Stay in Love' and the current big banger emo-song ' Bye Bye' .

This song, trust me, the world over will relate to it like paper to glue.

Who wouldn't? We've all lost someone dear in our lives haven't we?

And while it brings you to tears, it brings down the house with its strong melody and infectious hooks.

That's Mariah Carey 4 U.


(If there was a max of 5 stars, I'd give it SIX .) ******


Take the hint. ^^

Q

M & M

Eintein's E=MC2 is indeed one very successful formula. So too for Mariah. Cheers!^^

Elvis is really rolling in his grave right now.

Both Mariah and Madonna have beaten the crap out of him, on the charts this week.

Mariah just got her 18th #1-hit with 'Touch My Body'

Finally surpassing The King.

Making her second only to the Beatles who have 20.

Elvis Presley has 17.

Madonna remains at 4th, with 12.

And Whitney remains at 5th, with 11.

Interestingly, 'Touch My Body' has none of the melismic wailing and dog-whistle notes which she's known for. In its place, is the New Mariah. One that tells a story with a vulnerable whisper here and a sexy coo there.

She quipped

"For me, in my mind the accomplishment is just that much sweeter. In terms of my ethnicity, always feeling like an outsider, always feeling different ... for me it's about saying, 'Thank you Lord, for giving me the faith to believe in myself when other people had written me off."'

Actually, this Black sista is really the Fairest of them All. LMAO

"Touch My Body" is the first single off of Carey's upcoming album "E=MC2," due out April 16.

On a less significant note, Madonna, the perennial rival to the other Miss M, has her messy-and-not-so-nice song '4 Minutes' making it into the Top 5, surpassing the King for the most Top 40 hits with her 37th.

This song, in my opinion doesn't even deserve to be in the Top 100. It stinks. It's a messy arrangement of a melange of sounds.

How in the world she managed to bribe her way in, beats me. Undeserving.


Still, what's achieved is achieved.

Her album 'Hard Candy' is out this month as well.


So three cheers to the 2 Little Miss M's.
