Mariah Carey - The Rarities OUT NOW

[SDF]

I LOVE IT

 

[SDF]

20TH NUMBER ONE INCOMING

 

[Logic?]

It is genuinely much more interesting and I think if this version was released it would have got kudos for being experimental.

AS IF WE ACTUALLY HAVE IT.

 

[HeLikedTurner]

I actually LOVE this now. In some ways it's more basic than the original, but that sample really makes it quite weird. She's almost singing against the sample, rather than singing to complement it. I can't describe it, but it's just so much more cool.

It also makes a mockery of I'm Real by that entertainer we don't know.

 

[SDF]

That was catchy as hell

THAT (beautiful) ENTERTAINER CAN DO ONE

10 I Pray

 

[dUb]

Loverboy was amazing. Makes so much sense with the original sample.

But you know what, fair fucks to her and her musicality for still making it work under pressure

 

[SDF]

Was I Pray for Emancipation? I'm glad we got FLAB instead.

 

[dUb]

Was I Pray for Emancipation? I'm glad we got FLAB instead.

It was a one-off song for a girl on Oprah to sing!

 

[dUb]

@Iguana couldn't stay away

11 Cool On You

 

[SDF]

Eat Dirt

 

[dUb]

Well I Pray... happened

 

[HeLikedTurner]

I think I Pray is my least favourite. Pleasant enough though.

 

[dUb]

Can the US lambs please get Loverboy Firecracker to iTunes #1 @KindaCool

 

[dUb]

Cool On You seems fine! But inessential

 

[SDF]

Yeah, it is just there isn't it?

 

[dUb]

Pop it back in the vault, love. It's bringing the average down

 

[SDF]

I mean I can see tiktok doing something with the chorus though

 

[dUb]

TRUE

MAKE IT HAPPEN, TEENS

 

[Logic?]

This is pretty EMBARRASSING

I always find the stuff from E=MC2 era is either amazing (Side Effects) or absolute FLUFF (like this)

 

[dUb]

12 Mesmerized

 

[dUb]

Oh Mesmerized is giving me the late night NYC feels I crave

 

[SDF]

just saaaaaaaaaaaaaay

 

[SDF]

I feel like this is a song from a Diana Ross album

 

[Logic?]

Ooooooo Mesmerized is smooth

 

[HeLikedTurner]

There's a lot going on in this one.

 

[dUb]

This is FAB!

Bit of a vibe though... what's your take on it @HeLikedTurner

 

[SDF]

I quite like this

 

[dUb]

I love those DIRTY SLAPPING BASS bits or whatever you would call that

 

[dUb]

13 Lullaby of Birdland

 

[dUb]

Where's everyone gone

 

[dUb]

Oh Lullaby is a great follow-up to Mesmerized. Staying in the basement after hours bar MOMENT

 

[HeLikedTurner]

This is FAB!

Bit of a vibe though... what's your take on it @HeLikedTurner

Really didn't like it at first, and now it's one of my favourites! It's a real grower I reckon.

 

[Logic?]

GIVE US A JAZZ ALBUM

This is from 2014?!

This is wonderful

 

[HeLikedTurner]

Where's everyone gone

Kicking rocks and eating dirt.

 

[dUb]

Mariah scat shocker

 

[dUb]

I can tell it's good and I would DIE if she was doing it in front of me, but I don't think I'll be rinsing this

 

[HeLikedTurner]

I love this. I really expected to be suffering through it, but it really, really suits her latter era vocals.
