In my opinion is very dull to be a first single. And her voice sounds so weird that is difficult to recognize it! It's the first time she sings in high notes for so long!!!

Have you been on the poppers again? :huh:

She use to sing very deep and in this song her voice seems a little girl. If you can't hear it, it's you and your little information about how Mariah voice was 15 years ago, 10 years ago and nowadays.

I think our point was that her vocals don't sound any different on this than any of her other stuff this past decade, so it seemed(and still does) odd that you'd comment on her vocals.

Mariah's Producers Talk About New Album

R&B diva Mariah Carey returns to the spotlight this Spring with her newest release E=MC˛. SOHH caught up with the Grammy award-winning producers Bryan-Michael Cox and DJ Toomp - who collaborated with M.C. on the project - to get the details on the album that everyone is buzzing about.

E=MC˛ follows Mariah's hugely successful 2005 Grammy award-winning album, The Emancipation of Mimi, which sold over10 million copies worldwide. While that success will be difficult to match, the album is already generating praise from mega-hitmaker Jermaine Dupri, who claims the quality of E=MC˛ surpasses Carey's last album, and the other producers she's worked with on the album.

"I'm telling you she's in a great space, man. It feels like it's going to be better than Emancipation," Bryan-Michael Cox told SOHH exclusively. "She has a lot of the same producers. Jermaine gave her some really incredible records. I came in and gave her some real dope records. She got some really really dope stuff."

DJ Toomp, who just took home a Grammy for his work on Kanye West's Graduation, agrees. "It's incredible," he says. "I've only heard snippets of a few songs but Jermaine Dupri, pulled me to the side and was like, 'Yo man, we bout to be here [at the Grammys] next year too.' He's like, 'You're on a classic album and you got a classic song.' So it feels good."

Along with JD, Cox and Toomp, will.i.am, Stargate, Nate "Danjahandz" Hills, James Poyser, C. "Tricky" Stewart and The-Dream also collaborated with MC on the project.

Carey has already announced plans for a Brett Ratner-directed video for her first single, "Touch My Body," which was written and produced by Carey alongside Tricky Stewart and The-Dream.

"Touch My Body" hit the radio earlier this week.

The project will be the 11th studio album for Carey, who has finally set a release date of April 15th for the set. E=MC˛ was executive produced by Mariah Carey and Island Def Jam Chairman, Antonio "LA" Reid.

Mariah's been singing in that paper-thin tone for YEARS, Karby. :manson:

Well it sold almost 6 million in the US alone, didn't it? I reckon it easily sold an additional 4 million copies around the rest of the world?

Roger Friedman Previews Mariah's New Album

Yesterday I spent more than an hour up at Island/DefJam Records previewing the new CDs from Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey. Each is highly anticipated, and with good reason. They're pretty damn good.

Carey’s CD, called E=MC˛, is probably the more anticipated if only because her prior release, Emancipation of Mimi, was such a phenomenal success. Buoyed by several hits including "We Belong Together" and "Don't Forget About Us," Emancipation spent months on the charts and won a number of Grammys. It re-established Mariah as a superstar after her failed Glitter project and subsequent Charmbracelet.

E=MC˛ (a play on the previous album's title) should have a pretty big impact when it hits the world on April 15th. Already the single, "Touch My Body," with its refrain "I will hunt you down" has taken off at radio. It doesn't hurt that it bears a resemblance to "We Belong Together." But the new single is catchy in its own right, and has an independent hook designed to be addictive.

I heard eight other tracks yesterday, but since the album isn't sequenced yet I can't tell you where they fall in order. In the order I enjoyed them came first "Bye, Bye" a powerful ballad that should be a single and will probably close the album. It's a natural singalong in concert, too, which could make it not only wildly popular but a possible Grammy contender next year. Look out.

The next most commercial number is "Thanks For Nothing," a witty and rueful tune with another great melody courtesy of Jermaine Dupri and Carey. As on "Bye Bye," Carey’s vocals are superb. Her infamous eight octave range has suffered a little wear and tear over the years, but Carey can still flutter from great highs to mellow lows like no one else.

Some other highlights I heard included "Cruise Control," featuring Damian Marley with a driving reggae subtext; "Migrate" with T Pain, which should be a single and perhaps the album's kick off track; "Last Kiss," with Dupri on vocals; a breathy disco dance hit called "I'm That Chick," and an out and out pop song, "Loving You a Long Time," which samples DeBarge's "Stay with Me" and recalls the melodic riff of the "Hill Street Blues" theme music.

The one thing I kept thinking from track to track is that Carey and her crew have put a lot of work into making E=MC˛ not just a hit, but a sustainable success. There's enough in the package that it will last as long as "Emancipation," spinning off singles, remixes, and videos.
