Mariah Carey // Triumphant (2012)

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

omg this remix.

talk. about. vintage.

soooooooooooooooooooooo

fuck

yah we talked about it briefly on the miguel thread, so hyped 4 it

^^word. honestly i think this is the best news i've heard all month

should one of us go check on surm?

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

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
