#Triumphant WORLD PREMIERE, 15 minutes to go!

THREE MINUTES

i like it! mariah is great as ever and the piano/stock luger sound effects work well together

i trust someone will link once it's on the net

oh lol

lol

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

lovely layered vocals, love the way it blossoms into the chorus

will need to listen a few more times

loving your reactions tbh

QUOTE OF THE YEAR

:) cannot wait to hear this on blast when i gt home

predictably, I hate this

2nd listen is predictably great - this chorus!

this is such a blend of all the different mariahs!

this is kind of lame :/

yeah

needs more mariah

also, production is wack

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

The only thing I remember about this song is Meek Milli

it is definitely more like she is featured

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!

remix up on the website now

lasted twenty seconds

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.

Idolization - "Babydoll," Butterfly
"Do you care for me beyond idolization?"

good question

Remix is class. Original's kinda disappointing.

club remix now up

so basically if u go to the website it rotates thru the orig and the 2 remixes on repeat

so so goooooooooood turned up

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

all rick ross verses should have mimi adlibs imo

:o)

ship otm!

def

vintage throwback remix >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

really like the original but everyone otm in that there's too little mariah. could've been immaculate, as it is it's just a really enjoyable summer jam

i just realised she timed this perfectly and deliberately to drop mid-olympics. LOVE U MIMI

yess!!

even though it is very different from obsessed, this chorus reminds me a little bit of it just in terms of how she finds pockets of hooks in a sprawling melody

definitely a grower, and the hallmark lyrics are so ... Mariah that i can't help but get into em

MAKE THEM ALL FALL DOWN

her vocals kind of twinkle, the production is o_O but in a way that i like

btw this song prompted me to listen to the remix album for the first time ever (i know) and let's just say i was hungover for a whole day afterward

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

yes i was just thinking about that!!! talk about packs a punch

temporarily breaking my anti-snippet stance to get hyped about this

ahahahaha that video

i honestly

all i could this morning was "you guys"

but i was on my iphone and couldn't find ILX. glad to see the thread was already revived

wanted to bump this in celebration of #beautiful as being discussed on the Miguel thread

http://www.xclusiveszone.net/2013/05/mariah-carey-ft-miguel-beautiful/

thread of miguel

woohooooooooooooooooooooooo get it!!

i changed the tag on the mp3 in the end, up yours #presentism

love this song more and more and more though

XD at mariah doing the outro melody in her psycho minnie ripperton whistle range

super bright spot

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

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

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

love that they produced this <3

mariah's verse is seriously on point

XD at mariah doing the outro melody in her psycho minnie ripperton whistle range

YES

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.

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.

music video tomorrow night u guys

so true xp

reminds me of "Ribbon" not in style but in the sheer warmth on the track tbh, the joy

this song got me bad

it's been in my head all day long

does anyone have a link to the video??

can't find anything yet. hopefully soon!

i've been so excited to listen to this song all day

i love that the single cover says "Starring Mariah Carey [silhouette of a butterfly] Miguel"

it's beautiful

the "starring" is really the catchphrase

also confirmed: this song is really fun to sing

YES

i was just rocking out to it while I was cooking dinner

i meann....

ok video delayed until tomorrow, mariah apologizes via twitter

ffffuuuuuuuuuuu

i assume the video will just be a long montage of them riding on his bike past lake minnetonka to old man johnson's farm

loool

that's what i'm hoping

what i find intersting about this song is how it's so casual
