Erik Bradley Music Director, B-96, Chicago, IL Touch My Body正好補足了The Emancipation Of Mimi所沒有的元素--一首中版甜美情歌。 我相信遲早有一天這首歌會成為瑪麗亞第十八首冠軍單曲！ 專輯當中可不只這首膾炙人口的好歌，這張專輯比TEOM還要棒！ 再狂賣千萬張吧！ "'Touch My Body' picks right up where The Emancipation Of Mimi left off. It's another classic Mariah mid-tempo SMASH with a hook that will stick with you for days. The reaction to it thus far has been incredible...I believe at the end of the day this will be Mariah's 18th #1 single. I've heard many of the songs on E=MC2 and not only is it full of killer songs, I feel it stands just as tall (perhaps taller) than T.E.O.M. Here comes another 10+ million worldwide sales and more time at the top of the charts for MC!" Todd Martens Staff Writer, Los Angeles Times The Mariah formula: First listen on 'Touch My Body' Pop star Mariah Carey unveiled today her new single and the science-friendly title of her new album, "E=MC2," due April 15. The title alone already does Janet Jackson one better. The latter went all sci-fi with her latest video, "Feedback," but Mariah is cutting out the B-movie trappings and going straight to the equation. So is Mariah unveiling her inner Albert Einstein with the title? Or is she leaking the formula that goes into crafting a mega-hit? E = extreme, acrobatic-like wailing. M = multimillion-dollar production team. (Billboard.com writes that the A-list lineup cooking with Mariah in the M lab includes Jermaine Dupri, will.i.am, Stargate and Bryan Michael Cox, among others.) C2 = Club songs multiplied by colossal ballads. 在這首歌當中瑪麗亞不再展現華麗花腔，而著重在明快的節奏上，當聽眾沈醉在不斷重複 的甜美旋律之中時，瑪麗亞再度從重重合音當中浮出而給予這首歌完美的結尾。 少了橫跨幾個八度的高難度唱法，有時候瑪麗亞甚至與合音融為一體。雖然歌詞 兇狠地威脅男主角「要是敢讓這秘密幽會曝光就要你好看！」，但在旋律當中卻 只聽的到甜蜜歡樂的氣氛。 All right, so the title is certainly a not-so-subtle nod to her top-selling 2005 album, "The Emancipation of Mimi." The first single, "Touch My Body," hit radio today. It was produced by C "Tricky" Stewart and The Dream, the pair who worked on Rihanna's Grammy-winning "Umbrella." So how is it? "Touch My Body" rides a relatively restrained slow-dance groove, with some light, orchestral-synth flourishes thrown in. The rhythm is almost completely carried by an effortless keyboard bump, the easygoing repetitiveness of which eventually wears the listener down, and sets up a delicate frame for Carey to sing around. She pulls back when the song picks up the pace, and Carey keeps it simple here, playing with tempos rather than range. Indeed, she almost quietly slides into the chorus. "If you run around and brag about this secret rendezvous, I will hunt you down," she sings, letting the last line trail off. But you don't necessarily believe her, as the feel is more playful that sinful. The song will be getting the full blockbuster treatment, as "Rush Hour" director Brett Ratner shot the video for the cut. Blender Mariah's New Sex Tape-Themed Smash WHO: Mariah Carey WHAT: "Touch My Body" WHY: 聽眾們絕對不會介意電台在接下來的幾個月當中每十分鐘就會播一次這首歌！ 流行樂才女再度創造了一首完美的流行歌曲。 While Mariah's new album, E=MC2, is set to be one of the year's biggest, this introductory single is downright subtle - yet effective. Co-written by The-Dream and produced by Tricky (a.k.a. the dudes behind "Umbrella"), "Touch My Body" rides the same never ending snap blueprint T-Pain used to brilliant effect on last year's feather-light super hit "Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')." You won't mind hearing it on the radio and TV every 10 minutes for the next few months - this thing sooths as it repeats. Here, Mariah is focused on one thing: "Come on and give me what I deserve and touch my body," she coos. And make no mistake, she wants to be touched on her terms only: "Cause if you run your mouth and brag about this secret rendezvous, I will hunt you down." She even thinks about the possible ramifications of her touchy tryst when she sings, "If there's a camera up in here then I best not catch this flick on YouTube" (nevermind the fact that the video in question would never get past YouTube censors). A pop genius making genius pop. 評價：★★★★☆ -- 樂評簡直就是一面倒的稱讚啊！！！ -- 　◣　　█◣◢▉═══ Ｔｈｅ　Ｅｍａｎｃｉｐａｔｉｏｎ　ｏｆ　Ｍｉｍｉ ══ ◢█＠　███▉██▉██▉▉██▉█　█　███▉██▉██▉██▉█　█ 　／█◣███▉█▆▉█▆▉▉█▆▉███　██　　█▆▉█▆▉█▆　███φ 　　◤　█◥◤▉█　▉█◥◣▉█　▉█　█　███▉█　▉█◥◣█▆▆　█bpan 瑪麗亞凱莉最新專輯"天后再臨"發行首週空降告示牌冠軍大賣四十萬張再度締造新紀錄 2005上半年最值得聽的好聲音 Mariah Carey ﹝The Emancipation of Mimi﹞!! --
