Mariah Carey - That Chick [New Album .. April]

Exclusive Review: Mariah's "That Chick" Is Out Of Control!

Last night in a central London hotel theatre, Def Jam head L.A Reid invited a very exclusive VIP audience to hear the new albums from both his 2 top divas Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey. With stringent rules laid down at the top of the evening about not leaving the room for a bathroom visit, handing over all gadgets and returning song word sheets we knew it was about to go down.

Beginning with Janet's new material which sees Janet reworking her old sounds from the days of Velvet Rope and Control," Janet's material was quite sexually overt and a little gross ("real heavy like my first period"!) but it was really Mariah's new material that blew everyone away.

Mariah's new album, tentatively titled That Chick, saw collaborations with T Pain, Young Jeezy and Damien Marley with production by her long time friend and producer Jermaine Dupri, Will I Am, Rodney Jerkins and The Dream.

The new music with catchier hooks and melodies than ever, even sees Mariah taking on an exciting new musical adventure where she sings in Jamaican patois on her Damien Marley duet "Cruise Control" where she references "dramas" and "baby mamas" and like your favorite rap star Mariah throws down new Mariahism ("you love yourself some me!") soon as the album gets into the public domain.

Urban music lovers in the house were really excited about that track as well as hip-hop banger "Heat" produced by Will I Am, "For Real,For Real", and "Migrate" where 2007's hit man T Pain hooks up with Mariah but it was the title track "That Chick" with its double entendres which includes a tip of the hat to Michael Jackson with references to his "Of The Wall Classics" that had pop chart taste makers excited claiming it was the number 1 track on the album closely followed by likely international pop hit "Love You Long Time".

In typical Mariah fashion there were the legendary ballads "Love Story" and tear jerker "Bye Bye" (an ode to people who have passed away) that will have reality pop contestants singing away for decades to come!

One track titled "O.O.C" summed up the night and the return of Mariah - once the albums out it's gonna be "Out Of Control!".

To recap, here are the confirmed tracks from the new, tentatively-titled Mariah Carey album, That Chick:

• "Touch My Body"
• "Migrate" ft. T-Pain
• "Heat"
• "For Real, For Real"
• "That Chick"
• "Cruise Control" ft. Damien Marley
• "O.O.C"
• "Bye Bye"
• "Love Story"

There's something kinda ew about a song called "Love You Long Time" being pegged as an "international" pop hit.

There's something even ewer (toby jug time?) about all this Jamaican patois stuff.

Producers she should have worked with: To Rococo Rot, Tiga, Xenomania, Ry Cooder.

wtf no

In fact I would go so far to say that I would have liked Geir to produce the new Mariah Carey album.

I'd dig on some Hongroe-produced Mariah.

I feel as though some people are not taking this subject as seriously as they could.

I feel as though we are taking this subject as seriously as it deserves.

Indeed.

"Bye Bye" (an ode to people who have passed away)

roffle

mariah / marley will be a classic, i can feel it

The "Bye Bye" ode to people passed away cannot hope to surpass the majesty of "Rock 'N' Roll Heaven" by the Righteous Brothers.

though I'd quite like to hear her cover "People Who Died" by Jim Carroll.

in case anyone missed it, here's that real nice emancipation outtake j-shep went and put at the top of her critlist

i

am

down.

i mean

it's like, exACTLY what i expected. just kind of within herself, no? i guess that could be interpreted as "oh, more of the same," but uh, i don't really know if that's even a bad thing?

"I WILL HUNT YOU DOWWWWWWWWN"

It's nice , nothing major but it'll do what it's meant to - a nice buzz single before she drops the megaton bomb ballad that she has in store for the second single. It's a much better first single than "It's Like That".. catchy, sweet spring-time hit.

agreed, agreed.

you think there's a megabomb coming?

i mean no, it's nothing major but it's perfectly solid.

no I mean that she's going to drop a MAJOR second single which will be a ballad and rule the charts ( a la "We Belong Together"). They're not straying far from the TEOM forumla.

formula*

well i certainly hope not, that would be great

i'm kind of disappointed that the song is so sweet tho, lol. I was expecting UBER-SKANK Mariah.

can't stop playing this

totes. it is kind of sweet but for some reason i like that! i'm ready for sweet, but you're right i was expecting the SKANK too ;)

this is actually kind of a fantastic song. the pulsating synths are great - the production overall is stellar, and her voice does exactly what you want it to. and the lyrics work somehow.

i love this.

i dunno, even when she's skanky it's in a weirdly girlish, innocent way.

I would still have sex with her.

yeah that "I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN" cracks me up every time, and the syncopation of the first four lines of each verse is some bugs bunny opera shit. i vote A+; can you imagine how this would sound on the radio?

yes!! i'm so excited

it sounds even awesomer on the radio if u can imagine

i kind of can. kind of thumpin but sweet but energetic?

maybe?

not that i ever listen to music radio... geez i kind of miss it.

COME ON AND GIVE ME WHAT III DESEEEEEEEEERVEEEEE

still awesome.

Speed dial connecting me to Rae-Rae (Hey)
Click in Shawntae and Mae-Mae (Hey)
Treat it as a holiday,
Cause he's a wrap,
Y'all know I had to migrate.

^^THIS IS ME THIS SUMMER -- SO MUCH WRAPPING & MIGRATING

this album kind of is a masterpiece in many respects

would be if not for the 6 shitty "We Belong Together" rewrites

i kind of can't get enough of those

it has some real clunkers

it's overlong, but it has pretty much the perfect amalgamation of modern r&b songwriters/producers -- maybe the ratio is a bit skewed

love story, i stay in love, and maybe even last kiss are all mundane to varying degrees, tho last kiss can be good

and there's always bye bye

i wish i could but a bumper sticker on my car that read "*migrates*"

put*

i went thru a fase where i could not stop singing migrate. especially the verse u just posted thru " cuz my jeans yeah they fit

but it might benefit

me to throw somethin on

to feature my hips

accentuate my *

and steal the show "

i kind of can't get enough of those
