Damn Hot Mess

I guess this is not what we were all expecting. I’m sure though LA will come up with a better follow up single……Listen to Touch My Body under the cut….Then again MC hasn’t exactly been known for her lyrics but at least the girl writes them herself….The whole youtube bit is kinda wack even for mimi standards…… I’ve got to say that we’ve past these melodies and hooks a couple of years back…..was expecting something more edgy along the lines of the “Good Life” and dare I say “Umbrella”….but I guess ‘08 is the year to play it safe…..

Performer and songwriter Mariah Carey has set April 15th as the in-store date for the most eagerly anticipated album of the year, E=MC². The 11th studio album of her career, E=MC² is the follow-up to The Emancipation Of Mimi, Mariah’s worldwide 10 million selling #1 album, which generated three Grammy awards (including Best Contemporary R&B Album), 2 #1 singles and countless more industry honors during its 18-month stay on the charts.

The first single from E=MC² is “Touch My Body,â€? written and produced by Mariah Carey, C. “Trickyâ€? Stewart, and The-Dream, and blasting out worldwide on February 12th. The video for “Touch My Bodyâ€? was directed by feature filmmaker Brett Ratner - internet, cable and network premieres for the video will be announced in the weeks ahead. In addition to C. “Trickyâ€? Stewart and The-Dream, other guest producers joining Mariah on E=MC² will include Jermaine Dupri, DJ Toomp, Stargate, Will I Am, Bryan Michael Cox, Nate “Danjahandz” Hills and James Poyser. E=MC² is executive produced by Mariah Carey and Antonio “LAâ€? Reid, Chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group.

The Emancipation Of Mimi, released April 12, 2005, was an industry phenomenon for the mega-platinum award-winning superstar - Soundscan’s biggest-selling album of the year, bringing total sales of Mariah’s albums, singles and videos to more than 160 million worldwide, making her the most successful female recording artist in history. Mimi featured “We Belong Together� (winner of the Best Female R&B Vocal and Best R&B Song Grammys) and “Don’t Forget About Us,� Mariah’s 16th and 17th #1 career singles respectively. They tied one of the most enduring chart records in Billboard Hot 100 history, Elvis Presley’s 17 #1’s. Mariah is now positioned as the only active recording artist in the 48 years of the Hot 100 (which began in 1958) with the potential to surpass the Beatles’ all-time high of 20 #1 hits.
