Mariah Carey - A New Album - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

MonarC · 12-07-2004, 06:19 PM

Hey Mariah fans, there will be a new album out soon from the #1 selling female artist of all time. This title you might notice is a bit different than her usuall titles, "Rainbow" "Butterfly" or "Charmbracelet". Mariah explains the title herself in the following quote.

Quote:

Mariah's Message to Fans about 'The Emancipation of Mimi'

"So obviously my album title has leaked out way before I intended. (the single isn't even out yet...hello)

Knowing that the title was very different for me and might cause some confusion, I had a whole explanation to go along with the press release which was supposed to come out in February, but basically that got foiled.

So here it is..."Mimi" is a very personal nickname only used by those closest to me...just one of those little things that I've kept for myself in an attempt to have some delineation between a public persona and a private life.

By naming the album The Emancipation of Mimi I am letting my guard down and inviting my fans to be that much closer to me..Most importantly, I am celebrating the fact that I've grown into a person and artist who no longer feels imprisoned by my insecurities or compelled to try and live up to someone else's vision of "Mariah Carey" I now feel I can honestly say "this is me, the real me, take it or leave it" For the first time in my life, I feel free and unashamed to be who I really am..And that's what the music of this album and it's title reflect..

As always, I love ya, appreciate ya and I enjoy ya!!!

MC a.k.a Mimi."

I have heard one of the songs on the album. "Say Something" it features Snoop Dogg in a small part in the middle. It's really cool and layed back. This album is gonna be really good. Hopefully it will be out March 06.

Watch Mariah on Christmas day she will perform

"All I Want For Christmas Is You" and "Joy To The World" .

The special will air on ABC on Christmas day (Saturday, December 25th) at 1:00pm EST.

I love Mariah Carey.

I hope her new CD will come out in February. Her last year's CD "Remixes" features all the greatest remixes of classics by Mariah Carey. It was her last album on Columbia because she has her own label called MonarC which is now part of the Island/Def Jam Music Group. Her first album for her new label was "Charmbracelet". I have that on CD. It's great to be back on the boards. I every Mariah Carey album on CD. It's great to listen to.

Ah, to be frolicking in the snow with a pop star...

Yeah I love her dog he is so cute.

I wish Mariah would cut all ties to the hip hop world. She is way too talented and a good singer to resort to frolicing around in videos with rap stars. The Mariah of Music Box or Emotions... that was class. I don't really care too much for her post-97 material with the exception of a few of her remixes and a couple songs like My All and Never Too Far.

For her sake, I hope it is better than "Charmbracelet," and the rest of the crap she has been putting out for the past 7 years.

In your opinion she is. Personally I love hip hop, like many others, and I love the fact that she works with rappers. It's just her style, she's always said that she has liked that kind of music and I dont see anything wrong with it since hip hop is very popular right now, and has been since the mid-90s...anyway, I really like her song with Jadakiss, though I forget what it's called...(You Make Me Wanna?)

I think that is the opinion of many. I have always loved Mariah, and I still do, but even I recognize that her music hasn't been as good. I'm honestly scared for the new album. I'm still remaining hopeful for it, that it will be a change for her as I've been hearing, but I really don't know. I've heard the same thing from many huge Mariah fans. Not to mention her album sales are nothing near what they have been in the past.

but Mariah has too much talent to resort to rappers.

unlike someone like Ashanti or Jennifer Lopez, who also do the gimmick of working with rappers, Mariah actually can sing. When female artists hook up with rappers, usually they are ones who can't hold a tune by themselves and need help. Whereas rappers hinder Mariah's songs.

When you buy a Mariah cd, you want to hear MARIAH, not a bunch of special guest rappers. If you notice, when she was in her peak, she wasn't working with rappers. If anything, going the rap route alienated more people than it gained. People want to hear hip hop Mariah about as much as they wanna hear punk rock Celine.
