pinkville first listen: E=MC2 - mariah carey

ah yes! the wait is over.. mimi's latest studio album is in my hand and as am typing this, the beat pumping through my ear phone. it was agonizing wait earlier on and yes it worth the wait as i enjoyed every minute of the album...

personal view..

the album liven to all my expectations. she has selected good song for this album and compared it with her previous successful studio's album The Emancipation of Mimi, this album are at the same par of that, or better. she is back and this time mimi will fiercely hit the charts like no one ever seen before as majority of the track are radio friendly tune. that's good news...

personal thought on the track listing:

migrate (feat t-pain)
interesting track choice to open the album as this is club banger track. create a good vibe about the whole album. definitely going to be blazing on club charts around the globe! (5 stars)

touch my body
released as her first single for this album. i personally don't like this track however, the catchy tune got me in the groove!

cruise control (feat damian marley)
radio friendly tune. should release this as future single. good and catchy bridge.. c-r-u-i-s-e control!

i stay in love
first ballad track in the album. classic mimi ballad i must say. anthem for all the lover out there. i like it a lot form the beginning i heard it. i stay in love with you..! (5 stars)

side effetcs (feat young jeezy)
not my cup of tea but it has this 80s synth sound that make the song different. it might grow in me, but have to wait and see.

i'm that chick
ah yes, dance club banger. this song will do well in dance charts with all the remixes by hottest dj around the globe. she did performed this song in mtv channel. listen to this when you are about to hit club.. i'm that chick! la la la oh oh wey wey! (5 stars)

thanx 4 nothin'
fourth ballad track in the album. nice guitar sound accompanied the song. this song is good for single. (5 stars)

o.o.c
o.o.c or out of control has a mid tempo beat fill up the whole song accompanied by flute (i can't figure the sound well) and it very nice to groovy to. i get so o.o.c, out of control baby! (5 stars)

for the record
fifth ballad from this album. u must be bored with me saying, this track is radio friendly. i can't help it and it is true!

bye bye
sixth ballad from this album and soon to be release as second single. written to inspired anybody that cooping with lost of their loved one. very emotional song and definitely track that she need to release as single to recover from train wreck of touch my body. (5 stars)

i wish you well
final track of the album and the seventh ballad. mimi never forget how she started singing and that through choir. this track is a gospel track where she singing and expressing how she feel inside after all what people has said to her during hard time. she sings... i wish you well... the more you curse me, the more you blessed me.. the word said, love your enemy.. do good to those who hurt you.. pray for those who mistreat you.. i wish you well! a good song to end the album. (5 stars)

overall, i like the album very much. majority of the songs in the album are radio friendly and i can smell a lot of singles will be release by this album. i hope that mimi will be releasing 2 singles at the same time to cater to all her fan base, that marketing strategy baby!

album will be on shelf on April 15th.
