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!"

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.

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.
