IT'S FINALLY HERE!! You have no idea how long I have waited for this album. I have been an avid fan of Mariah Carey since her first album so this review will obviously be bias toward her. I have all her CDs (all original mind you...some of my friends think I'm crazy!) and her latest offering, her 10th album, E=MC² already has a number 1 single "Touch My Body". The album name means "(E) Emancipation (=) equals (MC) Mariah Carey (²) to the second power". It is a play on Einstein's famous mass–energy equivalence formula and is the sequel to her 2005 album, The Emancipation of Mimi. If you think her last album is good, I personally think this one is better. She don't have as much collaborations as in her previous 3 albums, but it just goes to show, that she is still capable of making some good tunes on her own. There is also a track ("I'm That Chick") that samples Michael Jackson's "Off The Wall" disco remix. Watch out for her second single "Bye Bye" and my personal favourites "I Stay In Love" and "I'm That Chick" which won't surprise me if they reach #1 on the Billboard charts at some point.
Here are the track listings:
01. Migrate
02. Touch My Body
03. Cruise Control
04. I Stay In Love
05. Side Effects
06. I'm That Chick
07. Love Story
08. I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time
09. Last Kiss
10. Thanx 4 Nothin'
11. O.O.C.
12. For the Record
13. Bye Bye
14. I Wish You Well
Oh, if you get the Japan edition, it comes with 2 bonus tracks "Heat" and "4Real 4Real" which features Da Brat. Overall, I think this album is freakin' awesome! Packed with easy listening tunes as well as some tracks that could get you grooving to the beats (hey, I told you I will be bias). But seriously, if you like Emancipation of Mimi, you would definately like this one as well. Give it a try and don't just take my word for it.
My rating: 5/5
Sounds similar to: NO OTHER...she is the one and only! :)
