Mariah Upcoming Release Thread 2013 // #Beautiful feat. Miguel

It's time to hear Mariah on the radio again.

She's talked about the upcoming album; it has more ballads than you'd expect, and she says she wants [these last few albums] to be just as quality as her first few. Mariah also just split with manager and Idol co-star Randy Jackson due to scheduling conflicts and signed a contract with Red Light Management (Alicia Keys, Faith Hill). We can expect the album in the first half of the summer, but as to the content, expectations are less clear. Mariah's team has said that there will be a mix of styles and formats on the record.

#Beautiful starring Mariah and Miguel is a great radio song, and ready for pretty much any format. Collaborations with The-Dream, Hit-Boy and Jermaine are rumored for the upcoming record, and early chart performance for #Beautiful is looking good. The video premieres tonight!

My boyfriend has been putting it on in the morning before he leaves for work and I'm in bed, and it's amazing.

thread of miguel

Make it happen, Mariah!

uncensored version out yet?

lol

interpreting that as a no

i have no idea. i don't think so

I WANT SWEARS

i kinda like how they blank it out, you can still hear it

Mariah loves summer songs.

("always be my baby" chimes in from overhead)

she really does. she was just talking about always be my baby in an interview, talking about jermaine

video any minute now!

ahahahahahahahahahahahahah

miguel's goofy faces in this video are pretty much my fantasy of everything

where is it link plz

nvm found it

http://youtu.be/oe1wtkkt9-E

my first thought is UGH MIGGY YOU ARE RIDING THAT BIKE HELLA SLOW WTF

pretty cute tho

holy shit mariah looks incompetent in this video

her moves are embarrassing tbh

she's on quaaludes right?

i can't

on idol she prefaced the video by saying to the competitors "you can't let your label dictate your style. in a video it's my time to be exactly who i want" or something

bit surprised that Mariah opted to show clam in this vid but ey it's 2013 we're an advanced people.

Also, song is so good, every bit of it. Will there be any other Miguel-assisted tracks on the album?

I didn't expect much other than what we got from her in this vid, tbqh

her dancing is now just variations on pinup poses

she reminds me of Britney's enervated aerobics of "Gimme More" in fall '07.

truth

yep

it's not even rly the moves it's the video. i mean, she was singing about running red lights in a field on a stationary bike

stop relying on yr body etc

*of = performing

how hard could it have been to just have them on the bike for 3 minutes

coulda been a easy teenage dream knockoff

totally

so the swears have been replaced w/ tiny mariah shrieks in the video

Yall are crazy, what's pop music for if not hot babes writhing on motorcycles?

Also, filling a barn w awesome huge chandeliers and an expensive car.

they shot the video half in a barn w/ candlelight + instagram kelvin filter, half during the golden hour

theyre really pushing for that late summer afternoon vibe, really trying hard to make this summer thing happen

the swears are still in there - and the mariah shrieks were there already too?

I don't think the mariah shreaks are in the itunes versh

yeah i really wanted this video to just be them on a motorbike for the whole song. the chemistry between them in the video is kinda cute tho, especially miguel's kind of incredulous/thrilled expressions as mariah dances for him in the barn

the little mariah squeaks/shrieks over the blanked-out swears aren't on the itunes version

oh huh sry, I didn't catch that I guess

video needed more close-ups of mariah, and in particular one when she sings the "OH HOW YOU THRILL ME!" line

i don't think i need to hear the unedited version actually, this song is too sweet for swears

xpost yeah I was kind of bummed they missed that

this video makes way more sense once you realise it's a rich and totally insane miguel alone on his vast private estate hanging out with an imaginary mariah hallucination

last shot should have been men in white coats arriving as he frenches a tree

ahahah

baahahahahahahaha

Chandeliers steal the show in this video

to be fair that black bathing suit thing is not looking bad on Mimi

but obviously miguel sticking his tongue out steals the show

yayyyy

That's my favorite song on the album even with Whale.

it has happened except they didn't record it

'For the part of the song [that goes] “People like you fuck people like me,” I wanted a screamer. So I called like three screamers. I called Gerard Way, who didn’t answer because he didn’t recognize the phone number. I called Brody. I called somebody else; nobody was around. I thought Billie Joe [Armstrong of Green Day] was around; he wasn’t around. So, I went over to my friend Bret’s house, and he’s a director … I [told him I] was too pitchy to scream this part. And this little voice goes, “I can sing it,” and I’m like “Who’s that?” And the little voice goes, “It’s Mariah.” And I’m like, “Okay, Mariah Carey, you cannot sing ‘People like you fuck people like me.’” She goes, “Yes I can. I did a rock record once; we just never released it.” So I went over there, and there’s no recording of it, but it was the two of us screaming—and she can rock sing. Mariah, she’s a badass. Like, she could rock sing. I couldn’t even believe it.'

love this story love

dedicated is still the baddest shit not on the radio

the songs on this album hold up really well, especially in light of disappointments like the ariana grande album, but i still think the sequencing does them a real disservice - i keep needing to skip around to hear what i want in the order that feels right

there's like 10 extra songs that don't need to be on the album

"Meteorite" emerged as my summer driving song.

you love that song

i love that you love it

I think everything here's pretty great. Hasn't left rotation for me since it dropped.

<3

make it look good still a jawdropper

Retro Mariah is still her best look imo

"faded" is the only one I outright love.

I think everything here's pretty great. Hasn't left rotation for me since it dropped.

still can't wit this story

new song "gtfo" is great

"With You" is also great.

i'm quite liking it. the ending gives me just enough that i have to hear it again right after i play it :X

Why are you all sleeping on her new songs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX6EFyB3TMI

the guests on this album being ty dolla, blood orange, slick rick, and gunna >>>>

I knew I could count on you, Jordan.

I have liked all of the singles so far and I think this might be the best yet? Or maybe it's just that the beat is so extroverted.

Mariah has the best "I ain't even trying" singing voice at this point.

I've only heard "GTFO" but it's good! Pairs nicely with Toni's "FOH"

"gtfo" is cute but was practically built to have a short shelf life. meanwhile "with you" despite obviously fitting comfortably into a well-worn mariah-song mold continues to sound better the more i hear/play it

With You is really nice

I've been waiting for so long for someone to sample that exact part of "Crush On You" and I'm so glad it was Mariah who did it

with you is so good

Impressed by the new record, even though it doesn’t really have any huge, “wow” moments in particular - just consistently great all the way through

another delightful mariah carey record

More lean, short pop albums like this please.

I think this might be my favourite Mariah Carey album. As Monotony said, it's just great all the way through.

this is a really good interview that goes deep into her songwriting (though it's an hour long so i ripped the subtitles to read it as a transcription instead lol)

halfway through it and ufo, you're missing out, some of the faces she makes and accents she pulls are hysterical

ufo that is a brilliant idea

Thanks for reminding me of this.

"giving me life" is fucking phenomenal

This has just basically come out of nowhere for me to all of a sudden be one of my favourite albums of the year. "The Distance" and "Stay Long Love You" are so good. And the outtros to "Giving Me Life" and "8th Grade"!!

That Genius interview is a fantastic watch as well.

This album… so good.

yah

Really so good, so smooth.

really kinda love this

insane the gunna song wasn't a single wtf

shake it off 2 ft one of the hottest rappers in america... let's make no one aware of this

yeah this is lovely

just got around to the slick rick verse, so cool!
