there is no dream on this record afaik, the last one is my fav so this is disappointing to me

"triumphant' is dupri and bryan michael cox, so i'm cautiously optimistic

surm, Monday, 30 July 2012 21:29 (thirteen years ago)

never mind the production, can't wait to see what ridiculous/incredible verbiosity she manages to come up with this time around. surely one of music's greatest things. <3

prolego, Monday, 30 July 2012 21:51 (thirteen years ago)

surm, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 00:29 (thirteen years ago)

surm, Thursday, 2 August 2012 19:42 (thirteen years ago)

i like it! mariah is great as ever and the piano/stock luger sound effects work well together

i trust someone will link once it's on the net

oh lol

tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 2 August 2012 20:23 (thirteen years ago)

lol

surm, Thursday, 2 August 2012 20:23 (thirteen years ago)

it feels more like an ideal MMG pop single than new mariah but fuck it. pretty dope.

tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 2 August 2012 20:29 (thirteen years ago)

lovely layered vocals, love the way it blossoms into the chorus

will need to listen a few more times

lex pretend, Thursday, 2 August 2012 20:37 (thirteen years ago)

loving your reactions tbh

:) cannot wait to hear this on blast when i gt home

surm, Thursday, 2 August 2012 22:44 (thirteen years ago)

predictably, I hate this

keeping things contextual (DJP), Thursday, 2 August 2012 22:49 (thirteen years ago)

2nd listen is predictably great - this chorus!

surm, Thursday, 2 August 2012 23:12 (thirteen years ago)

this is such a blend of all the different mariahs!

surm, Thursday, 2 August 2012 23:17 (thirteen years ago)

this is kind of lame :/

k3vin k., Friday, 3 August 2012 00:31 (thirteen years ago)

yeah

needs more mariah

also, production is wack

i'm a housewife, an artist, and a snow leopard (The Brainwasher), Friday, 3 August 2012 00:38 (thirteen years ago)

i mean i won't argue that i could use more mariah :)

almost throws off any expectation in terms of how it is structured, which i kind of like (ie the fact that she has no verse)

the lyrics are maybe the one thing i take issue with, except that they they do kind of reference Rainbow, which is an alltimer

surm, Friday, 3 August 2012 01:05 (thirteen years ago)

The only thing I remember about this song is Meek Milli

REV LION (The Reverend), Friday, 3 August 2012 01:06 (thirteen years ago)

it is definitely more like she is featured

surm, Friday, 3 August 2012 01:15 (thirteen years ago)

the song that these lyrics most obviously resemble is "Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme)" from Rainbow, a Disney-like ballad (much mucccchhhhh more hamfisted than this -- like much) that was also a single. But that was also the album with "Heartbreaker" and "Crybaby" on it soo...

we'll see!

surm, Friday, 3 August 2012 13:29 (thirteen years ago)

remix up on the website now

surm, Friday, 3 August 2012 15:22 (thirteen years ago)

lasted twenty seconds

hardhouse banter (tpp), Friday, 3 August 2012 15:52 (thirteen years ago)

oh my god, amazing. i love rich on mariah.

ngl picked up a lot of vocab from her when I was young. was obsessed with using "nonchalant" in school essays after hearing "breakdown".

really really wish there was more mariah in the song. still have faith in the album tho.

prolego, Friday, 3 August 2012 17:20 (thirteen years ago)

Idolization - "Babydoll," Butterfly
"Do you care for me beyond idolization?"

good question

r|t|c, Friday, 3 August 2012 17:34 (thirteen years ago)

Remix is class. Original's kinda disappointing.

Christyles, Friday, 3 August 2012 18:10 (thirteen years ago)

MAKE THEM ALL FALL DOWN

her vocals kind of twinkle, the production is o_O but in a way that i like

surm, Monday, 6 August 2012 23:27 (thirteen years ago)

btw this song prompted me to listen to the remix album for the first time ever (i know) and let's just say i was hungover for a whole day afterward

surm, Monday, 6 August 2012 23:28 (thirteen years ago)

the synth that follows the chorus in the vintage throwback remix is just so glorious

lex pretend, Thursday, 9 August 2012 10:31 (thirteen years ago)

yes i was just thinking about that!!! talk about packs a punch

surm, Thursday, 9 August 2012 11:02 (thirteen years ago)

omg this remix.

surm, Thursday, 9 August 2012 11:03 (thirteen years ago)

talk. about. vintage.

surm, Thursday, 9 August 2012 11:04 (thirteen years ago)

eight months pass...

soooooooooooooooooooooo

fuck

surm, Wednesday, 24 April 2013 13:53 (twelve years ago)

yah we talked about it briefly on the miguel thread, so hyped 4 it

flamenco drop (lex pretend), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 13:58 (twelve years ago)

i meannnnnnnnnnn

surm, Wednesday, 24 April 2013 14:03 (twelve years ago)

dream team much?

surm, Wednesday, 24 April 2013 14:03 (twelve years ago)

esp because i can totally see them bonding aesthetically while having no idea what they'll sound like together

flamenco drop (lex pretend), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 14:11 (twelve years ago)

^^word. honestly i think this is the best news i've heard all month

should one of us go check on surm?

brony james (k3vin k.), Friday, 26 April 2013 01:31 (twelve years ago)

temporarily breaking my anti-snippet stance to get hyped about this

flamenco drop (lex pretend), Friday, 26 April 2013 10:22 (twelve years ago)

ahahahaha that video

J0rdan S., Friday, 26 April 2013 14:26 (twelve years ago)

i honestly

all i could this morning was "you guys"

but i was on my iphone and couldn't find ILX. glad to see the thread was already revived

surm, Monday, 29 April 2013 14:32 (twelve years ago)

wanted to bump this in celebration of #beautiful as being discussed on the Miguel thread

http://www.xclusiveszone.net/2013/05/mariah-carey-ft-miguel-beautiful/

thread of miguel

woohooooooooooooooooooooooo get it!!

surm, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 00:04 (twelve years ago)

i changed the tag on the mp3 in the end, up yours #presentism

r|t|c, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 00:10 (twelve years ago)

love this song more and more and more though

r|t|c, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 00:12 (twelve years ago)

XD at mariah doing the outro melody in her psycho minnie ripperton whistle range

r|t|c, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 00:16 (twelve years ago)

super bright spot

surm, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 00:19 (twelve years ago)

maybe i'm just self-brainwashing but the more i marinate in this song the less the charge of mariah being grafted on (or whatever) carries weight - i feel like miggy really thought about her, pictured her in a moment that's really hers

comparable to the job terius did on mjb's 'just fine' imo

super interested to hear how he frames beyonce

r|t|c, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 00:25 (twelve years ago)

curious reference. i too feel similarly that it just makes sense with her as the passenger, like why would she start singing b4 he actually drove around for a little bit first

surm, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 00:27 (twelve years ago)

what, the mjb ref? it's nothing particular i guess, just when i think of examples of songwriting that really clearly nails its intended artist's persona that's one that always comes to mind

her as passenger is a great way of looking at it

r|t|c, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 00:33 (twelve years ago)

love that they produced this <3

surm, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 03:49 (twelve years ago)

mariah's verse is seriously on point

surm, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 03:50 (twelve years ago)

XD at mariah doing the outro melody in her psycho minnie ripperton whistle range

YES

flamenco drop (lex pretend), Tuesday, 7 May 2013 12:14 (twelve years ago)

cannot wait to hear what the rest of the album sounds like

she said there will be more ballads than u would think which i can't decide if that makes me nervous or not. it worked in 2005 but ... i dunno.

surm, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 16:55 (twelve years ago)

I was kinda in the hmm this is more like a Miggy song on the first pass, but after a thousand relistens, when the music drops out and Mariah's all OH HOW YOU THRILL ME, that's when it's Mariah's song. no question in my mind.

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 7 May 2013 16:59 (twelve years ago)

music video tomorrow night u guys

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 7 May 2013 16:59 (twelve years ago)

so true xp

surm, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 17:28 (twelve years ago)

reminds me of "Ribbon" not in style but in the sheer warmth on the track tbh, the joy

surm, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 21:57 (twelve years ago)

this song got me bad

tpp, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 22:11 (twelve years ago)

it's been in my head all day long

does anyone have a link to the video??

surm, Thursday, 9 May 2013 02:23 (twelve years ago)

can't find anything yet. hopefully soon!

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 9 May 2013 02:35 (twelve years ago)

i've been so excited to listen to this song all day

surm, Thursday, 9 May 2013 02:36 (twelve years ago)

i love that the single cover says "Starring Mariah Carey [silhouette of a butterfly] Miguel"

seanpennderizer (some dude), Thursday, 9 May 2013 02:49 (twelve years ago)

it's beautiful

surm, Thursday, 9 May 2013 02:50 (twelve years ago)

the "starring" is really the catchphrase

surm, Thursday, 9 May 2013 02:51 (twelve years ago)

also confirmed: this song is really fun to sing

surm, Thursday, 9 May 2013 02:52 (twelve years ago)

YES

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 9 May 2013 02:59 (twelve years ago)

i was just rocking out to it while I was cooking dinner

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 9 May 2013 02:59 (twelve years ago)

i meann....

ok video delayed until tomorrow, mariah apologizes via twitter

surm, Thursday, 9 May 2013 03:04 (twelve years ago)

ffffuuuuuuuuuuu

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 9 May 2013 03:07 (twelve years ago)

i assume the video will just be a long montage of them riding on his bike past lake minnetonka to old man johnson's farm

seanpennderizer (some dude), Thursday, 9 May 2013 03:30 (twelve years ago)

loool

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 9 May 2013 03:42 (twelve years ago)

that's what i'm hoping

surm, Thursday, 9 May 2013 03:47 (twelve years ago)

what i find intersting about this song is how it's so casual

surm, Thursday, 9 May 2013 03:52 (twelve years ago)
