Mariah Carey Discografie - Album E=MC²


INFO: Am 15. April 2008 erschien das neue Album von Mariah Carey und es heißt: E=MC²

Also der Name hat mich echt überrascht! :-)) Auf jeden Fall ein origineller Titel, fehlte nur noch, daß Mariah Carey auf dem Albumcover die Zunge herausstreckt wie Albert Einstein, der bekanntlich diese Formel erfunden hat. Aber "nackt" mit Pelzstola sieht ja auch schön aus ;-). Der Albumtitel wird übrigens von Mariah mit "Mariah Carey = Emancipation 2" erklärt, also in der Tradition des Vorgängers "The Emancipation of Mimi" stehend.

Am neuen Album haben u.a. C. "Tricky" Stewart, The-Dream, Jermaine Dupri, DJ Toomp, Stargate, Will I Am, Bryan Michael Cox, Nate "Danjahandz" Hills und James Poyser mitgewirkt.
Verantwortliche Produzenten sind Mariah Carey und L. A. Reid, Präsident von Island Def Jam.
"E=MC²" erscheint fast auf den Tag genau drei Jahre nach "The Emancipation of Mimi" (veröffentlicht am 11. April 2005) und was den Erfolg des neuen Albums anbelangt, ist man unübersehbar optimistisch: Mariah Carey sei die einzige derzeit aktive Künstlerin, die es schaffen könne, den Rekord der Beatles mit 20 Nummer 1 Hits zu schlagen (Mariah hat bislang 18). 

Freunde des HipHop könnten sich z.B. über Songs freuen wie "Heat" (produziert von Will I Am), ebenso die Anhänger großer mariahtypischer Balladen, wie "Love Story" und "Bye Bye". Hitverdächtig seien "Migrate" und "That Chick". Auch dem Song "Love You Long Time" wird das Potential für einen #1 Hit nachgesagt. Der Titel erinnere an "It's Like That", ein uptempo-Nummer.
Stimmlich und musikalisch sei mit dem Album "E=MC²" eine weitere überragende Veröffentlichung durch die bestverkaufendste Sängerin der Welt zu erwarten.

Die ersten Reaktionen sind unübersehbar ausgesprochen positiv und lassen auf ein wirklich gutes Album hoffen! Wie es scheint, hat das Team Reid / Dupri / Carey bei der Produktion des Albums wieder gute Arbeit geleistet, die schon den Vorgänger "The Emancipation of Mimi" so erfolgreich machte.

Der Song "Love Story" scheint indessen eine ganz spezielle Bedeutung zu bekommen: Zur Überaschung aller heiratete am 30. April 2008 Mariah Carey ganz im Stillen ihren Freund Nick Cannon, der erstmals im Video "Bye Bye" zu sehen ist und mit ziemlicher Sicherheit im Clip zu "Love Story" wieder eine Rolle haben wird.


SINGLES:

Am 12. Februar ging "Touch My Body" als erste Single aus "E=MC²" an die US-Radiostationen. Allein in den ersten 6 Stunden wurde der Song so oft gespielt wie "It's Like That" vom Vorgängeralbum in den ersten vier Tagen! Nach nur einer Woche hatte "Touch My Body" unglaubliche 223 "monitored adds" (Aufnahmen ins Programm von Radiosendern" hingelegt - neuer Rekord! Rekord # 2 folgte: 286.000 Downloads in der Debütwoche war die höchste Zahl, die bislang ein Song in der ersten Downloadwoche schaffte. Das führte zu Rekord Nummer 3: der 18. # 1 Hit mit "Touch My Body" ließ Mariah an Elvis vorbeiziehen und machte sie zur Solo-Künstlerin mit den meisten # 1 Songs in den Hot 100 der Billboards - nur die Beatles haben mit 20 noch mehr.
Mitte April folgte als zweite Single "Bye Bye", der Songs startete als "hot shot debut" auf Platz 23 der Hot 100.

VIDEOS:

Am 27.2.2008 wurde das erste Video veröffentlicht und der "Touch My Body"-Clip mit Komiker Jack McBrayer (Kenneth aus 30 Rock's) ist der Knaller. Eine gelungene Mischung aus Witz und Erotik, die VH-1 als den besten heiß&komischen Clip seit Madonna's Zusammentreffen mit Garth und Wayne (in "Justify My Love") bezeichnete. Regisseur Ratner sagte, er habe noch nie so viel Spaß bei einem Videodreh gehabt, wie zu "Touch My Body" und noch nie habe Mariah Carey so schön ausgesehen.
Ende April 2008 erschien das nächste Video aus "E=MC²", zum Song "Bye Bye", zunächst Online, ab Mai dann bei den Musiksendern.

Album Reviews

Die amerikanische Sängerin kennt alle Höhen und Tiefen des Showgeschäfts. Derzeit ist Mariah Carey wieder enorm erfolgreich. Gerade hat sie ihren 18. Nummer-1-Hit, mehr als Elvis hatte. Die meisten Kritiker verachten sie. Ihr Album "E=MC² " erscheint an diesem Freitag – es ist erstaunlich gelungen.
 (...) Das tatsächlich Großartige an Mariah Carey bleibt, neben der Stimme, die Musik, in der die Stimme sich geborgen fühlt. Es ist eine schwer fassbare Musik. Das Einprägsame täuscht. Ist die Musik verklungen, ist sie auch verschwunden und nimmt etwas mit, dass sich für ein Geheimnis halten ließe. Vorher wird beflissen moduliert, auf unzähligen Spuren singt Mariah Carey mit sich selbst. Koloraturen liefern den Beweis der Wiederauferstehung und ihrer erklärten Strategie: „Zusammenbruch als Durchbruch“.
Eigentlich hätte Mariah Carey keinen Grund zur Klage: Mit „Touch My Body“ führt sie zum 18. Mal die Hitparaden an. Damit hat sie Elvis (17) überflügelt und die Beatles (20) im Visier. Aber laut E=mc2 ist alles relativ, auch der Triumph. (DIE WELT)

Nun also "E=MC²", Mariah Careys neues Album für Island Records. Abgesehen davon, dass sich bereits der Munich Disco-Visionär Giorgio Moroder vor dreißig Jahren dieser Einsteinschen Formel bediente, um die campy Computerwelt Kraftwerks über die Tanzböden der westlichen Hemisphäre auszuschütten, müssen wir hier wohl ausformulieren: Energie ist gleich Mariah Carey im Quadrat. Eine Platte, die mit der Zeile "Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, keep it movin', bounce" losgeht, hat mich natürlich schon mal auf ihrer Seite, und Jermaine Dupri aus Atlanta zimmerte abermals fette Beats unter die Vogelstimme der Sängerin, wie auch die anderen beteiligten Produzenten, unter ihnen Größen wie Scott Storch, Swizz Beatz und James Poyser, überzeugend auf den Plan traten. Doch eigentlich ist Mariah Carey, die jeweils als Koproduzentin ausgewiesen wird, eine Hit-Fabrikantin, eine Singles-Künstlerin. Sie bildet ein Wetware-Gesamtkunstwerk. (Wie der späte Elvis, den sie soeben in punkto Nummer-eins-Hits überrundete.) Eine Person, vor der ich vor allem kulturellen Respekt gewonnen habe. Interessant ist das Artwork von "E=MC²": Mariah Carey sieht jetzt afrikanisch-amerikanisch aus. (Südeutsche Zeitung)

Die Lyrics


MIGRATE


Written & Produced by:
Mariah Carey
Hills Floyd Nathaniel ("Danja")
Najm Faheem ("T-Pain")
Muhammad Bale Wa M


Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce
Keep it movin... Bounce
Keep it movin... Bounce
Keep it movin... Bounce
Keep it movin... Bounce

Once again nothin' jumpin' up in yo place,
Sick of your berry buzzin' all in my face,
Way too much to tolerate,
Time to roll,
Y'all know I gots to migrate.

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.

See I'm on my way home,
Cause my jeans, yeah they fit,
But it might benefit
Me to throw something on,
To feature my hips,
Accentuate my ****
And steal the show.

Soon as we walk through the door,
Fellas be grabbin' at us like yo,
Tryin' to get us going off the Patron,
We sippin' Grigio... slow.

If your neck and your wrist coordinate,
Hair braided or faded okay,
We can move this back to my place,
It's time to migrate.

From my car into the club we migrate,
From the bar to V.I.P. we migrate,
From the party to the after party, migrate,
After party to hotel, migrate.

As we proceed getting buzzed,
The envious ones,
Hatin' but they can't take they eyes off us,
But we don't see none of that,
They playin' my jam,
And the floor is packed,
So ya'll need to migrate up out the door.

We clickin' glasses,
Compliments of the club,
Raise they status,
So you know they show us love,
Everywhere we go,
They gon' flock,
Them boys migrate to where it's hot.
(It's hot, it's hot)

Soon as we walk through the door,
Fellas be grabbin' at us like yo,
Tryin' to get us going off the Patron,
We sippin' Grigio... slow.

If you're inked up, thuggin'
That's what I like,
Face body and Lamborghini outside,
Obviously boy you're qualified,
Otherwise, migrate.

From my car into the club we migrate,
From the bar to V.I.P. we migrate,
From the party to the after party, migrate,
After party to hotel, migrate.



 

TOUCH MY BODY

(Mariah Carey - C. Tricky Stewart - Terius "The-Dream" Nash)

MC, you're the place to be
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

I know that you've been waiting for it
I'm waiting too
In my imagination I'd be all up on you
I know you got that fever for me
Hundred and two
And boy I know I feel the same
My temperature's through the roof

If there's a camera up in here
Then it's gonna leave with me
When I do (I do)
If there's a camera up in here
Then I'd best not catch this flick
On YouTube (YouTube)
'Cause if you run your mouth and brag
About this secret rendezvous
I will hunt you down
'Cause baby I'm up in my bidness
Like a Wendy interview
But this is private
Between you and I

Touch my body
Put me on the floor
Wrestle me around
Play with me some more
Touch my body
Throw me on the bed
I just wanna make you feel
Like you never did.
Touch my body
Let me wrap my thighs
All around your waist
Just a little taste
Touch my body
Know you love my curves
Come on and give me what I deserve
And touch my body.

Boy you can put me on you
Like a brand new white tee
I'll hug your body tighter
Than my favorite jeans
I want you to caress me
Like a tropical breeze
And float away with you
In the Caribbean Sea

If there's a camera up in here
Then it's gonna leave with me
When I do (I do)
If there's a camera up in here
Then I'd best not catch this flick
On YouTube (YouTube)
'Cause if you run your mouth and brag
About this secret rendezvous
I will hunt you down
'Cause baby I'm up in my bidness
Like a Wendy interview
But this is private
Between you and I

Touch my body
Put me on the floor
Wrestle me around
Play with me some more
Touch my body
Throw me on the bed
I just wanna make you feel
Like you never did.
Touch my body
Let me wrap my thighs
All around your waist
Just a little taste
Touch my body
Know you love my curves
Come on and give me what I deserve
And touch my body.

Imma treat you like a teddy bear
You won't wanna go nowhere
In the lap of luxury
Baby just turn to me
You won't want for nothing boy
I will give you plenty
Touch my body

Touch my body
Put me on the floor
Wrestle me around
Play with me some more
Touch my body
Throw me on the bed
I just wanna make you feel
Like you never did.
Touch my body
Let me wrap my thighs
All around your waist
Just a little taste
Touch my body
Know you love my curves
Come on and give me what I deserve
And touch my body.

Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
Oh yeah oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh yeah
Touch my body...





CRUISE CONTROL

featuring Damian Marley


[Damian Marley verse]

Can't get him outta my mind
Can't explain it but it's somethin 'bout him
Makin me high
Like a motor revvin' over and over
It don't stop
He cruised beside me now
I'm flyin, drivin'

Through yellow lights
I'm ignorin' every sign of caution that they provide
Driver's Education 101
Slipped out of my mind
I need me a caddy
With some cruise control
No, no, no

I've been told so many sagas
He brings the drama, six baby mamas
But uh ooh
I can't resist 'em
Just want to kiss 'em
I need cruise control

Might need to go slow, I don't know
Why ease up on the break
Every time I see his face
I'm outta control, ah I don't know
How to stay up in my lane
Every day and night
He's cruisin' through my brain

Wherever I go he be cruisin'
Turn to the right ooh he so smooth with it
Deep down inside don't want to lose him
He already know I'm willin' to go
Gotta get on cruise control

C-R-U-I-S-E control
C-R-U-I-S-E control
C-R-U-I-S-E control
C-R-U-I-S-E control

Can't nobody, can't nobody tell me nothin'
When he comes in to view
Cause he's the flyest thing when he be cruisin'
On me avenue
Then da door open, de gals 'pon de block
They be hop-on, to rob the clock me say no man
Step up step up bottle broken
Think I'm jokin'

I've been told so many sagas
He brings the drama, six baby mamas
But uh ooh
I can't resist 'em
Just want to kiss 'em
I need cruise control

Might need to go slow, I don't know
Why ease up on the break
Every time I see his face
I'm outta control, ah I don't know
How to stay up in my lane
Every day and night
He's cruisin' through my brain

Wherever I go he be cruisin'
Turn to the right ooh he so smooth with it
Deep down inside don't want to lose him
He already know I'm willin' to go
Gotta get on cruise control

[Damian Marley verse]

Might need to go slow, I don't know
Why ease up on the break
Every time I see his face
I'm outta control, ah I don't know
How to stay up in my lane
Every day and night
He's cruisin' through my brain

Wherever I go he be cruisin'
Turn to the right ooh he so smooth with it
Deep down inside don't want to lose him
He already know I'm willin' to go
Gotta get on cruise control





I STAY IN LOVE



Oh baby
Baby, I stay in love with you

Dying inside cause I can't stand it
Make or break up
Can't take this madness
We don't even really know why
All I know is baby
I try and try so hard
To keep our love alive

If you dont' know me at this point
Then I highly doubt you ever will
I really need you to give me
That unconditional love I used to feel
It's no mistaking
We're just erasing
From our hearts and minds

And I know we said let go
But I kept on hanging on
Inside I know it's over
You're really gone
It's killing me
Cause there ain't nothing
That I can do
Baby, I stay in love with you

And I keep on telling myself
That you'll come back around
And I try to front like "Oh well"
Each time you let me down
See I can't get over you now
No matter what I do
But baby, baby
I stay in love with you

Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Baby, I stay in love with you

It cuts so deep
It hurts down to my soul
My friends tell me
I ain't the same no more
We still need each other
When we stumble and fall
How we gon' act
Like what we had
Ain't nothin' at all now

Hey, what I wanna do is
Ride shotgun next to you
With the top down like we used to
Hit the block
Proud in the SUV
We both know our heart is breaking
Can we learn from our mistakes
I can't last one moment alone
Now go I know

We said let go
But I kept on hanging on
Inside I know it's over
You're really gone
It's killing me
Cause there ain't nothing
That I can do
Baby, I stay in love with you

And I keep on telling myself
That you'll come back around
And I try to front like "Oh well"
Each time you let me down
See I can't get over you
Now no matter what I do
Baby, baby
I stay in love with you

We said let go
But I kept on hanging on
Inside I know it's over
You're really gone
It's killing me
Cause there ain't nothing
That I can do
Baby, I stay in love with you

And I keep on telling myself
That you'll come back around
And I try to front like "Oh well"
Each time you let me down
See I can't get over you
Now no matter what I do
But baby, baby
I stay in love with you

I stay in love
Love
Oh, I stay in love.





SIDE EFFECTS

featuring Young Jeezy


[Young Jeezy Verse]

I was a girl, you was a man
I was too young to understand
I was naive, I just believed
Everything that you told me

Said you were strong, protecting me
Then I found out that you were weak
Keeping me there under your thumb
Cause you were scared that I'd become much

More than you could handle
Shining like a chandelier
That decorated every room
Inside this private hell we built
And I dealt with it like a kid
I wished I could fly away but instead

I kept my tears inside cause I knew if I
Started I'd keep cryin' for the rest of my
Life with you I finally built up the strength
To walk away don't regret it
But I still live with the side effects

Wakin' up scared some nights
Still dreamin' 'bout the violent times
Still a little protective 'bout the people
That I let inside
Still a little defensive
Thinkin' folks be tryin' to run my life
Still a little depressed
Inside I fake a smile and deal with the

Side effects
Side effects
Side effects
Side effects

Vacant inside no one was there
Couldn't be real, had to keep quiet
Once in a while put up a fight
It's just too much night after night

After a while I would just lie
You were dead wrong said you were right
Did what i could just to survive
Couldn't believe this was my life

Flickering like a candle
Doin' my best to handle
Sleepin with the enemy
Aware that he was smothering
Every last part of me
So I broke away and finally
Found the strength to breathe

I kept my tears inside cause I knew if I
Started I'd keep cryin' for the rest of my
Life with you I finally built up the strength
To walk away don't regret it
But I still live with the side effects

Wakin' up scared some nights
Still dreamin' 'bout the violent times
Still a little protective 'bout the people
That I let inside
Still a little defensive
Thinkin' folks be tryin' to run my life
Still a little depressed
Inside I fake a smile and deal with the

Side effects
Side effects
Side effects

[Young Jeezy Verse]

Forgive but I can't forget
Everyday I deal with this
I live with the side effects
But I ain't gon let them get the best of me
Forgive but I can't forget
Everyday I deal with this
I live with the side effects
But I ain't gon let them get the best of me

I kept my tears inside cause I knew if I
Started I'd keep cryin' for the rest of my
Life with you I finally built up the strength
To walk away don't regret it
But I still live with the side effects

Wakin' up scared some nights
Still dreamin' 'bout the violent times
Still a little protective 'bout the people

LOVE STORY



Hey baby, it won't end, won't end, won't end
Hey baby, it won't end, won't end, won't end
Hey baby, it won't end, won't end, won't end
Hey baby, it won't end, won't end, won't end
Hey baby, it won't end, won't end, won't end
Hey baby, it won't end, won't end, won't end
Hey baby, it won't end, won't end, won't end

[Jermaine Dupri verse]

This is my love story
Boy meets girl and looks in her eyes
Time stands still and two hearts catch fire
Off they go rollercoaster ride
Up & down and around
Twisted all out they minds

And then his friends
Said "it's too soon to settle down"
And then her friends
Said "he's a playa, slow it down"
They couldn't be who they was
Cause it just seemed like love
Wasn't on their side

But this isn't just another love story
Together we'll make history
I know because it's destiny
There'll be no end to our love story
And this ain't gon' end up
Like that Casablanca movie (no)
This ain't no fairy tale or fiction
This is truly
Ours for all eternity
There'll be no end to our love story, baby.

Hey baby, it won't end, won't end, won't end
Hey baby, it won't end, won't end, won't end
Hey baby, it won't end, won't end, won't end
Hey baby, it won't end, won't end, won't end
Just no end to our love story...

Chapter two when they meet up again
Second time around
Say that they're just friends
But the feelings still strong
And it's been too long
To be trippin' like they ain't been missing
They on the phone like

Hey, baby
Let's meet up today
Gots 'bout an hour or two
You might as well come thru
We can make it like it was
Just the two of us
Back up on that rollercoaster
Like we been supposed to

Cause this isn't just another love story
Together we'll make history
I know because it's destiny
There'll be no end to our love story
And this ain't gon' end up
Like that Casablanca movie (no)
This ain't no fairy tale or fiction
This is truly
Ours for all eternity
There'll be no end to our love story, baby.

Just when it seemed
Like all the odds were stacked against them
They came back stronger than before
Matter fact then some
Stronger than pride
Lookin' like them
Lookin' like her, lookin' like him
Stronger than hate
And the whole world too
Lookin' like me
Lookin' like you

Cause this isn't just another love story
Together we'll make history
I know because it's destiny
There'll be no end to our love story
And this ain't gon' end up
Like that Casablanca movie (no)
This ain't no fairy tale or fiction
This is truly
Ours for all eternity
There'll be no end to our love story, baby.

Hey baby, it won't end, won't end, won't end
Hey baby, it won't end, won't end, won't end
Hey baby, it won't end, won't end, won't end





I'LL BE LOVIN' U LONG TIME



I'll be lovin u long time
I'll be lovin'
I'll be lovin'
I'll be lovin
I'll be lovin
I'll be lovin
I'll be lovin
I'll be lovin u (2x)

You ain't even gotta worry
About a thing I gotcha babe
And ain't nobody takin' me away
It's not a game I'm here to stay
Our love is stronger than any drug
Addictive just can't get enough
And everytime I'm with you I want some more
Just close the door
And let's explore each other

Long as I know you got me
I'll be loving u long time (as I can be)
I'll be loving u long time (eternally)
There's no stopping you and me
I'll be loving u long time (as I can breathe)
I'll be loving u long time (eternally)

Don't care what no one has to say
They don't understand us like we do
I need you near me night and day
Together there ain't nothin' we can't do
Scoop me up and we can go
To that little spot where no one knows
Spend a little time just us alone
You can caress my body and never let go

Long as I know you got me
I'll be loving u long time (as I can be)
I'll be loving u long time (eternally)
There's no stopping you and me
I'll be loving u long time (as I can breathe)
I'll be loving u long time (eternally)

I don't want another
Ain't gon' never be another
Can't nobody do what you do to me
Don't want another
Ain't gon' never be another
Can't nobody do what you do to me
Don't want another
Ain't gon' never be another
Can't nobody do what you do to me

I'll be loving u long time (as I can be)
I'll be loving u long time (eternally)
Long as I know you got me
I'll be loving u long time (as I can be)
I'll be loving u long time (eternally)
There's no stopping you and me
I'll be loving u long time (as I can be)
I'll be loving u long time

I'll be lovin'
I'll be lovin
I'll be lovin
I'll be lovin
I'll be lovin
I'll be lovin u





LAST KISS



[Jermaine Dupri verse]

Baby I know this, know this, know this
Aint gon' be our last kiss, last kiss, last kiss
Aint gon' be our last kiss, last kiss, last kiss

Feel so empty inside
Since our last kiss goodbye
Picture you in my mind
And I can't seem to rationalize
The way we let it end
It just don't make no sense
This can't be happening
I need you back again

Everybody asking questions
Like we're some kind of obsession
For the millionth time asking I'm like
"Uhh let it rest"
Can i get a minute to breathe
They're like "Nope,
What's up with you and so-so?"

But in my heart I know this
Ain't gon' be our last kiss
It's too big we just can't quit
What you think this is
Our love will always exist
Oh listen to me

Boy you know we trill
So stop frontin'
What we got is still
Somethin' somethin'
Oh this feeling it's too good to miss
And ain't no kiss gon' ever be our last kiss

Ooh you said you'd never leave me
So I'll keep believing
That eventually
We gon' kiss away the hurt
Do it like it were
And wake up how we used to be

Never let it go, get it right
Bring it back home, stay for life
Call it what you want, it's in your eyes
We gon' make it thru this i'll prove it
Somethin' bout our love
Will not fade away
Always everlasting and

In my heart I know this
Ain't gon' be our last kiss
It's too big we just can't quit
What you think this is
Our love will always exist
Oh listen to me

Boy you know we trill
So stop frontin'
What we got is still
Somethin' somethin'
Oh this feeling it's too good to miss
And ain't no kiss gon' ever be our last kiss

Baby I know this, know this, know this
Aint gon' be our last kiss, last kiss, last kiss
Aint gon' be our last kiss, last kiss, last kiss

In my heart I know this
Ain't gon' be our last kiss
It's too big we just can't quit
What you think this is
Our love will always exist
Oh listen to me

Boy you know we trill
So stop frontin'
What we got is still
Somethin' somethin'
Oh this feeling it's too good to miss
And ain't no kiss gon' ever be our last kiss





THANX 4 NOTHIN'



[Jermaine Dupri verse]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Thanx for nothin'

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You were just playin' a game

I can't even know what to say
I've been hurt I've been played
And I'm so shamed
I can't even cry it's that deep
You just lie and you cheat
Like it's nothin'

See you said that you loved me too
