說是First Review,有一大半是有講Side Effects這首歌。
其他都是比較偏介紹性的內容~~
有句話要特別提出來:"I Stay in Love" is a killer ballad !!
Mariah Carey's New Album: First Review
Mariah Carey’s "E=MC2" comes out on Tuesday -- it’s the follow-up to her
smash 2004 "Emancipation of Mimi" album that had a bunch of hits on it. And
let me tell you, even I’m surprised. "E=MC2" might be an even bigger
chart-topping monster.
A few weeks ago, I told you I’d heard some tracks, but now the album is done
and sequenced. There are songs on it. Remember songs? You will be in love
with "Side Effects," one of several real R&B tracks with a gorgeous vocal, a
cool rap by Young Jeezy and lyrics that should make Mariah’s ex, Tommy
Mottola, do a spit-take.
In the song, Carey sings about "waking up scared some nights, still dreaming
about the violent times." Is it about Mottola? The lyrics begin: "I was a
girl/You were ‘the man’/I was too young to understand/I was naive/Believing
everything you told me."
And apparently she’s still living with "side effects" from "the private hell
we built" — "sleeping with the enemy/aware that he was smothering every last
part of me." She even addresses Mottola directly: "Said you were
strong/protecting me/then I found out that you were weak/keeping me there
under your thumb."
Mottola may be hearing that song a lot on the radio since "Side Effects" has
a Top 40 hook. The Young Jeezy rap only makes it better.
Even more than "Emancipation," "E=MC2" sounds like a jukebox full of singles
for the best summer party ever. "I Stay in Love" is a killer ballad, and
"Wish You Well" is a gospel-tinged ode to Aretha Franklin’s "Natural Woman"
that shows off the best of her range. Another track, "Bye Bye" is almost a
sequel to Carey’s long-ago hit with Boyz II Men, "One Sweet Day."
The almost certain No. 1, I think, to extend Carey’s long string: "I’ll Be
Lovin’ U A Long Time," in which her production team marries a sample from
DeBarge with the hook from "Hill Street Blues" and adds just enough of a new
twist to create the most elusive thing of all: a radio smash. "OOC (Out of
Control)" is set to shake up dance clubs.
Carey has two weeks on the charts to herself until Madonna comes rolling
through with her "Hard Candy." Already the Material Girl is getting a massive
amount of airplay for her single with Justin Timberlake. The one-two punch of
Mariah and Madonna might be just what the nearly dead record biz needs to
pick itself up before it’s too late.
