After 3 years from 'The Emancipation Of Mimi', Mariah Carey is back with her 11th studio album of her career 'E=MC²'.. 'The Emancipation Of Mimi', Mariah's worldwide 10 million selling no.1 album, which generated three Grammy awards (including Best Contemporary R&B Album), 2 no.1 singles and countless more industry honors during its 18-month stay on the charts.. So Mariah is back to top again after the great achievements of the album..
Good news to share.. the 'E=MC²' hit as No.1 with sales of 463,000 copies on the first week in US Billboard Album chart.. congratulation Mariah Carey..!!
I bet most of us heard the first single from E=MC² is "Touch My Body", this song is getting very popular in US and it has become no.1 in US billboard 100 chart even before the album released, and it got a lot of air play in our local radio station as well.. u guys know why she chosen this song as her first single from the album..?? any idea?? actually we are guessing maybe bcuz she has slim down quite a lot now and that's why she want us to touch her sexy body.. wakaka!! anyway it is juz our guessing..
Talking about the album 'E=MC²'.. so far most of the reviews are either above average or good (which is a good news for her..) and only those people who dislike her will rate this album as bad.. for my own view, I enjoy this album more then 'The Emancipation Of Mimi'.. there are 14 tracks in the album... mmmm... let's start with the tracks that I dislike most.. 'Thanks 4Nothin'','Love Story' and 'Last Kiss'.. I found all these 3 tracks are damn bored, the rhythm of the songs are boring and she keeps on repeating the chorus again and again.. and make me getting boring and boring..
The tracks which are OK for me are 'O.O.C','I'll be lovin' u long time','For The Record' and 'Touch My Body'.. quite enjoy listening to these few tracks but not something that really can impress me much..
Now the tracks that I like most are.. Jeng!! Jeng!! (in sequence..)
1.Cruise Control - this is first time she sing a reggae-influenced track, I really like the way she sing.. its really reggae..!! this song gave me a picture of we are driving in Jamaica on the summer holiday..!! definitely my no.1 favorite track in this album..!!
2.I'm That Chick - very the 80's disco+pop song and of coz my era of song too.. haha!! I will sing the chorus along every time I am listening it.. I really hope she will make more tracks like this..
3.I Stay In Love - a lovely ballad, the lyric and rhythm of this song is so nice and with her voice.. everything is so smooth and so perfect..
4.Migrate - the beginning part is the highlight of the song.. I like the lyric of the song, it juz sounds like we have lot of fun to do and migrate from one place to another ("From my car into the club we migrate/From the bar to V.I.P. we migrate").. The rap done by T-pain is cool..
5.Side Effects - this song is about her unhappy marriage life with her ex-husband.. from the lyric you can feel the unhappiness of her during that time..
6.Bye Bye - the second single from the album.. again.. the lyric is so touch and it will make us to miss those love one who had passed..
7.I Wish You Well - the very old style Mariah's song.. her voice still sound so great in this song..
Overall, Mariah has done a great job in this album.. to me, the highlight of the album is the lyric of the songs, especially in 'Bye Bye' which may make u cry for remembering someone u loved and had passed.. a great first try for singing reggae track 'Cruise Control' which really is a big surprise to me, and also the great 80's pop+disco track 'I'm That Chick' is another surprised..!!
One thing to mention is the cover of the album.. honestly I don't really like it.. why can't she put on some proper cloths instead of doing something like this (sorry to say that, to me she looks like a porn star more then a diva.. especially the photo at the back on the track list..) another funny fact is, she seems like she can sing better after she slim down.. wakaka..!!
Good news to share.. the 'E=MC²' hit as No.1 with sales of 463,000 copies on the first week in US Billboard Album chart.. congratulation Mariah Carey..!!
