Editorial Reviews

You don't expect to hear a streetwise quip like, "Them chickens is ash and I'm lotion," fall from the well-appointed lips of veteran pop star Mariah Carey, but that's exactly what she belts on the danceable lead single, "It's Like That," from The Emancipation of Mimi. As the title of her eighth studio album indicates, Carey -- called Mimi by her close friends -- has unleashed the less P.C. side of her personality. Departing from the ballad-heavy direction of 2002's Charmbracelet, Mimi is closer in sound and mood to 1997's hip-hop- and classic-soul-drenched Butterfly. Although she can't quite reach the pitch-perfect heights she once did, Carey is still a soaring songbird with a signature sound. And to compensate for any weathering of her pristine pipes, she enlists a top-notch team of collaborators. Standouts include the goose bump-inducing, Kanye West–produced "Stay the Night," the Jermaine Dupri–produced doo-wop jam "Shake It Off," and the sparse funk of the Neptunes-helmed and Snoop Dogg–assisted "Say Somethin'." With her next outing, let's hope that the melodrama-prone Carey doesn't disturb the infectious groove she's found here, and that the carefree Mimi is here to stay. Tracy E. Hopkins, Barnes & Noble

April 24, 2008: I got "Mimi" when it came out and it was definately worth the price. Every song is worth listening to. If you liked "Charmbracelet" and "Glitter" sound of her post-sony albums then you'll love "...Mimi." It was one of the highest selling albums of 2005 and deservedly so! I love the #1 hit "We Belong Together." I think it's much better than 'Touch My Body" though I enjoy that song too. "It's Like That" is a great up tempo club jam, great for clubs or wedding reception parties! I also love the last song "Fly Like A Bird." I also enjoy the ballad "I Wish You Knew." She channels her inner-beyonce in this album and it works! If you liked her hits from this album you'll probably like the rest like I did!

November 07, 2006: Although you took a hiatus WELCOME BACK!!! you Are Still the 5 Vocal DIVA We've always Loved. It's a Shame to hate on someone who has Uncompariable Talent like yours. You put your Old School with Grooves for those who are into The New School. You have taken yourself in this industry with class. You are truly a blessing. PS. althoug I'm not holier than Thau ,I absolutely LOVE how you include your Grounded Spirituality in Each of your CD's Not forgetting where you came from. Your Mother has to be proud!
