Plate Mogul Mottola is clearly, though he is never mentioned by name, who earned villain in a Song (Side Effects). Miss Jackson has to watch as her Herzbube (producer Jermaine Dupri), more success with the album a rival has, as they with their most recent (Discipline). With JD's help, among others, and a large dose of self-creativity (yes Miss Carey is one of the few artists who write all their own texts) is no doubt that this album, the charts in the speed of light, with singles that plunge as meteorites at the peak position will conquer.
And when this happens, is a New Yorker to Beatles` record, the No.1 with most songs ever on the Billboard charts, beat (The Fab Four have 20, Carey still stands at 18).
As Sequel is E = MC2 constant-compatible (in terms of good songs), dancefloor (Take alone "I'm That Chick") and has the stronger ballads as "Mimi". It has the structure of its predecessor: party, love, injury, prayers. Some familiar characters such as Jermaine Dupri, are also back again be, but fresh and talented collaborations, like Scott Storch (best known for his critical articles for Christina Aguilera's Stripped album, but also by Pink) increased and Nate Danjahandz "Hills.
Quite different than other artists (who thinks of Madonna, could be right), Mariah does not invest in Timbaland, and borrows the voice and the talent of Timberlake to rely on success.
Although all kinda new "sounds, Mariah remains even and the fans of" Daydream- era "faithful (who have also their joy in music are). Do not jump to the Timbaland- Express (direction Guaranteed Success" on), in the it does not really stand whether Madonna, Nelly Furtado or perform the song as they have delivered interchangeable products, although they do not need (this is not a criticism of the people Nelly Furtado and Madonna, just to the procedure).
Now to the album: In the party category, we get I'm That Chick "Migrate" and OOC ". The former makes use of some of Michael Jackson's" Off the Wall "and put us both in the 70's, as well as to Mariah's beginnings, which is very refreshing.
Migrate ", a frivolous, funky, new Jam Session, is probably the most modern and most unusual song, the daring soul diva. Your thus manage the balancing act from the car to
the club to the bar to the VIP lounge to the after-party to the hotel "processed with computer vocals from the unshakable T- Pain. The Diva dares and wins.
OOC is another fast song. One might even say the fastest, the one who has the good mood in their luggage.
A real summer song that spreads an international holiday feeling: "So scusami, te quiero mucho papi.Je ne sais pas mais c'est la vie."
Carey opens her heart and soul into differentiated style. Touch My Body "the first single, and the current hit, simultaneously offers passionate caresses (.... like a tropical breeze) and physical threats (... I will hunt you down), as a result of a secret rendezvous."
Refreshingly different, it is back at Cruise Control ", which Carey controls her heart, be uncontrollable in love together with Damien Marley, direction and loosen up this way with a private, Jamaican puns.
E = MC2 achieved with I Still In Love "his first" Schmetterbalde "which gets under your skin, but much closer she scratches with" Side Effects "to the bone. Another insight into her marriage with Cruel Motolla. Although their marriage in 1998 came to an end, Carey is still reeling, partly because "Dreams of violant Times" and "Sleeping with the Enemy".
Also to be emphasized is a song that was sung with feeling 100%.
Exactly this feeling "in her voice, that's what Mariah different from other singers.
You can tell really how she feels what she sings straight. What "is particularly evident, especially if they ... their records with the painful hey boy" at Thanx for nothing initiates. When listen closer, the die-hard fan is also striking that at the beginning of the song's words as such are first sung by a singer and not rapped by JD def ".
In addition to these magnificent songs the album includes other very good ballads, like the up-tempo song I'll be loving you long time "and my personal tip" For The Record "whose intro Mariah- fans, be known from her perfume advertising should grade their fans are the ones for Mariah, some of their song titles, as secret message, has built into the text. For the Record
"You'll Always Be A Part of me
No matter what you do
And for the record
Can not nobody say
I did not give my all to you
And for the record
I told you underneath the stars
That you belong to me
For the Record
It's obvious fact
We just can not let go of us, honey ..... (just this little Honey promises, so then smashed goosebumps guarantee). "
Then there is the second official single "Bye Bye", which reminds lyrically on "One Sweet Day". But of the composition more like "Do not forget about us." Nevertheless, this is a unique song. The text of these creeps ballad is "for my peoples who just lost somebody" written.
And there are certainly some. So keep ready handkerchiefs and ponder over the essence of life, when you're in the mood.
Let's talk about, in my opinion, mediocre ballads, but they are by no means bad. This would Love Story "and Last Kiss", where I "find better because I like the text and me," Love Story A movie Casablanca reminds ".
Mariah finished the album, just like Mimi, "with an inspiratory spiritual journey. I Wish You Well" focused, a ballad on Mariah's voice is only accompanied by a piano. This song asks Mariah God for forgiveness. Forgiveness of those who have in the past treated badly. This is clearly the song, which is the hardest to sing. Both vocally and lyrically a mature performance.
The final question is: Is this album better than Butterfly (in my opinion, best album of Mariah), according to the formula:
E = MC2> Butterfly
The result of this calculation will reveal the time. No question, the album has quite keep up with the potential Butterfly. However, it can be said of Butterfly, it includes songs that have become evergreens and are still heard.
Therefore, it is too early about give my opinion is a judgment. Time will tell whether we can also hear the album in 10 years, and there one still likes.
And now we close the circle by returning to my Liebligssong from E = MC2 and the album a final statement, to assess inflict.
When she sings: "Them other regularities, They can not compare with MC," because you can only with difficulty speaking, after hearing this album.
