never mind the production, can't wait to see what ridiculous/incredible verbiosity she manages to come up with this time around. surely one of music's greatest things. <3

it feels more like an ideal MMG pop single than new mariah but fuck it. pretty dope.

this is such a blend of all the different mariahs!

yeah
needs more mariah
also, production is wack
― i'm a housewife, an artist, and a snow leopard (The Brainwasher), Friday, 3 August 2012 00:38 (eleven years ago) link
i mean i won't argue that i could use more mariah :)
almost throws off any expectation in terms of how it is structured, which i kind of like (ie the fact that she has no verse)
the lyrics are maybe the one thing i take issue with, except that they they do kind of reference Rainbow, which is an alltimer
― surm, Friday, 3 August 2012 01:05 (eleven years ago) link
The only thing I remember about this song is Meek Milli
― REV LION (The Reverend), Friday, 3 August 2012 01:06 (eleven years ago) link
it is definitely more like she is featured
― surm, Friday, 3 August 2012 01:15 (eleven years ago) link
the song that these lyrics most obviously resemble is "Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme)" from Rainbow, a Disney-like ballad (much mucccchhhhh more hamfisted than this -- like much) that was also a single. But that was also the album with "Heartbreaker" and "Crybaby" on it soo...
we'll see!

oh my god, amazing. i love rich on mariah.
ngl picked up a lot of vocab from her when I was young. was obsessed with using "nonchalant" in school essays after hearing "breakdown".
really really wish there was more mariah in the song. still have faith in the album tho.

the way the chorus melody falls down as a reflection of the lyrics is grrrr8

the synth that follows the chorus in the vintage throwback remix is just so glorious

super bright spot
― surm, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 00:19 (eleven years ago) link
maybe i'm just self-brainwashing but the more i marinate in this song the less the charge of mariah being grafted on (or whatever) carries weight - i feel like miggy really thought about her, pictured her in a moment that's really hers
comparable to the job terius did on mjb's 'just fine' imo
super interested to hear how he frames beyonce
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 00:25 (eleven years ago) link
curious reference. i too feel similarly that it just makes sense with her as the passenger, like why would she start singing b4 he actually drove around for a little bit first
― surm, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 00:27 (eleven years ago) link
what, the mjb ref? it's nothing particular i guess, just when i think of examples of songwriting that really clearly nails its intended artist's persona that's one that always comes to mind
her as passenger is a great way of looking at it
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 00:33 (eleven years ago) link

― surm, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 03:49 (eleven years ago) link

cannot wait to hear what the rest of the album sounds like
she said there will be more ballads than u would think which i can't decide if that makes me nervous or not. it worked in 2005 but ... i dunno.
― surm, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 16:55 (eleven years ago) link
I was kinda in the hmm this is more like a Miggy song on the first pass, but after a thousand relistens, when the music drops out and Mariah's all OH HOW YOU THRILL ME, that's when it's Mariah's song. no question in my mind.
