Mariah Carey is poised to make a splash at retail with this taster from Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel, also released today (Monday). A cover of Foreigner’s 1985 chart-topper, the track went to radio across Europe earlier this year. The focus is now firmly on the UK and, with healthy radio play giving it a strong [...]

Before we start this review we just want to say that we’d quite like to slap Mariah Carey’s record company. Not only did they cancel the release of first single Obsessed, but they’ve hardly given Carey any promotion for her new album and pushed the release back weeks. Finally they are letting her release second [...]

Rating: 3/5 Mariah Carey has been labeled many things during her 20 years in the spotlight: explosively talented newcomer, trophy wife, hip-hop honey, seasoned R&B diva, celebrity basket case, the queen of the comeback, and, most recently, a poster girl for cougars everywhere (famously wedding her baby-faced boy toy, whom she affectionately refers to as DJ [...]

Rating: 3.5 Stars Carey’s career famously crashed with the movie Glitter and 2002 album Charmbracelet. But ever since her 2005 comeback album The Emancipation of Mimi, Carey’s been on one helluva roll. Executive-produced by Mariah and, more importantly, Antonio L.A. Reid, Memoirs is a consistent and extremely polished R’n'B album of mostly slow-tempo jams that one [...]

Mariah Carey takes a page from the Janet Jackson playbook on her latest, meekly cooing her way through the disc’s 17 tracks. Largely produced by Tricky Stewart and The Dream, this collection of mid-tempo and slow jams veers away from the club to touch on more personal themes, i. e. love. She expresses venom on [...]

Fans did not have to wait long, the new Mariah Carey album entitled Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel is NOW in stores. Her previous album E=MC2 was judged by many critics as an inferior copy of The Emancipation of Mimi, did include her No.1 hit “Touch My Body,” failed to raise any dust. For this new album she [...]

Rating: 8/10 With Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel Mariah Carey has made an old fashioned sliding album. Sweet love songs for romantic evenings. Carey provides the additional moaning, though less than before. In the 90 Carey was hugely successful, but early this century, the diva’s creativity & commercial  appeal waned with the albums Glitter and Charmbracelet. A few years [...]

The first single from Mariah’s forthcoming Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel album, Obsessed, is said to be about Eminem- the two have a bit of a he said/she said thing going on. Cue some clever bitchin’ verses, a smart video where she dresses as a fella and a fabulous Stonebridge remix. Obsessed? You bet! Oh, and [...]

Hark! There’s a new 25-octave tune from the magical land of unicorns and diamond-bedazzled butterflies. Ahead of her marvellously titled LP, Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel (bless), comes another peek into the mind of Mimi. Musically it’s kind of blah, and it’s packaged in the usual R’n'B lite gloss, but she does at least display bags [...]

Single of the week: Mariah’s revenge single about Eminem is so fabulously claws-out we can’t get enough of it. “You’re delusional/ Boy you’re losing your mind, ” she sings, before blaming Em’s claims they dated, “on the weed and the E.” One to team Mariah!
