definitely not hit single material, but it's beautiful and classy sounding. it reminds me a lot of early 90s mimi, only maturer.

great vocal performance, too.

Yeah, I really like it a lot. It just doesn't sound like a hit single to these ears. Oh well, I'm happy with it!

At first, I wasn't really into it. But fuck the vocals are absolutely flawless.
This song isn't perfect, I found the tempo too fast for a ballad, I made a slowed down version of it with less kicks, this is so much better.
This is really a grower, I don't think it will be chart-efficient right now but the more people hear it on the radio, the more they'll be hooked up, a bit like #Beautiful. I'm so glad she's challenging herself into finding a modern version of her previous glory, and choosing less instant pop/hip-hop songs. The album is going to be so good.

And I'm so looking forward to listening to the song that was previewed in the sneak peak, with the orchestra and the sublime operatic-like whistles.

Both Beautiful and this point to a mature, retro, emotional album. I can't wait. I much prefer personal Mariah than trend chasing Mariah.

that last minute of the song is TO DIE FOR

it's exactly what she should be doing at this stage of her career. she really has nothing left to prove besides crafting classy melodies that stand the test of time.

this new album is going to slay

Yeah, this is a major grower alright. While I'm still not sure it's a good single choice, it's certainly a classic Mimi track. Stunning vocals and a melody that really gets under your skin.

I am soooo ready for the album! :drama:

Mariah Carey diva extraordinaire has clearly had a couple too many glasses of champagne but it doesn't matter because it makes her even more FABULOUS

Hey Lambs, I have to tell you this, I can't do what I always do and say nothing at all. It is 3:30am (11.14), and I'm sitting on my bathroom floor, very upset by some news I just got from a close friend and employee. Lucky her, she was "nominated" to deliver this message to me after the long awaited 11.11 moment and the Jimmy Fallon show, knowing how upset I would be. Not because the world has come to an end or something, but because this 11.11 listening party was so important to me on a core level as a musician, who cares so much about how my fans hear my music for the first time that I didn't even allow a snippet to be released until 11 on the dot.

To cut to the chase, a mistake was made by a brand new engineer whose only task was to press the space bar while my team, and an incredible group of people from Facebook, partied while listening to the properly mixed & mastered version of "The Art of Letting Go" on repeat from my iPod on my home speakers. Clearly, I was focused on answering your questions during the Q&A. There was no reason for me to wonder if the final mix we were listening to in that room together was different than what you were listening to!!!!! Like I always say, I am involved with every record I make, from the inception to the completion of the song. Every nuance of the beat or vocal matters to me. Even if the differences may seem slight to you, I had put time, effort and emotions into "The Art of Letting Go" and the real mix is how I intended for you to hear the song.

Rather than remove the old version, I just figured I would put up the real mix and allow you to listen to it back-to-back, should you choose to do so and tell me what you think the differences are.
I want you to hear it like you're hearing it for the first time with me, and I will answer any questions that you have, pertaining to the song. You know that I don't comment on gossip, I typically don't respond to things like this or go into so much detail to the world, but this is something I'm upset about and I wish I would have known sooner.

There's no doubt in my mind that this sounds like a self absorbed diva on a "woe-is-me" tangent about a couple of ad libs or some other triviality, but the reality is this is me, focusing solely on the record, wanting you to hear it and experience it the right way. I love and appreciate you so much for taking the time to even glance at this 20-page "diva in distress" thesis. Thank you for letting me vent, this is another reason why Facebook rocks! You'll be hearing from me soon. Here is the REAL version of "The Art of Letting Go".

Answers these questions for me:
1. Can you hear a difference at all?
2. Can you see why I like this version better?
3. Where can you hear the differences?
4. Does the song affect you different emotionally after hearing the real version?

Let's talk about it, I'll be here waiting!

:lmao: I adore her!

It'd be awesome if Madonna cared as much about the mixing and mastering of her music as Mimi clearly does.
