Although Mariah’s latest single, Obsessed, is not officially released in the UK until the end of the month, the track is already picking up a lot of positive coverage in magazines and newspapers: The Sun: MC echoes the Mean Girls’ Regina George line “Why are you so obsessed with me?” as she launches her strongest [...]

Brief reviews of Mariah Carey’s new album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, have begun to appear in the UK press. Live Magazine (Mail on Sunday): Picked out Memoirs as the album of the week and declared: Mariah Carey shows her she doesn’t just have the best trills in pop. Her new album, Memoirs Of An [...]

We love the new Mariah Carey song. We hate the new Mariah Carey song. Equal parts rubbish and beautiful, the whole thing has left us feeling a bit confused. And from what we’ve been reading on the interwebs, you lot feel the same too. Hit “see more” to see why, and have your say. Mariah’s [...]

Star Magazine: We love Mariah, but her last few releases have been weak compared to the offerings on her incredible The Emancipation Of Mimi album. Mariah’s Christmas release, I Stay In Love, is a decent enough attempt, but it comes across as a watered down version of We Belong Together. 3/5 Now Magazine: It’s been [...]

The Voice: Mariah belongs to that ever-dwindling number of artists who will go platinum in 2008. Even her homey and regular collaborator Snoop Dogg is gonna have to settle for gold with (the very good) Ego Trippin’. Can you believe that? I’ll Be Loving You Long Time, a lovely mid tempo R’n'B tune, may just help [...]

Because this sleek number, its discreet keyboard melodies mumbling behind her effortless vocals, is for people who’ve past away. Catchy, but a little morbid, Maz? Rating: 3/5. New Magazine: Mariah goes all ballady on our asses, treating [...]

Two albums by two of the world’s biggest divas in the space of a month can only mean one thing: war. Let’s assess the differences. At one end, Madonna presents herself in the usual guise of aggressor and sexual predator, here in threatening boxing gear. Mariah, as always is a submissive, petulant plaything- which [...]

It’s taken three years, but the follow up to The Emancipation of Mimi has arrived. E=MC2 sticks to the sound which won Mariah three Grammy awards. Although this is more of a continuation than a follow-up, this album lacks development, something you’d expect after such an absence. Once again, Mariah includes popular artists like Damian [...]

Written off after her Glitter-era breakdown, Mariah unleashed The Emancipation of Mimi on the world, and it turned into the comeback of all comebacks. Now she is faced with the difficult task of following that up, but if this album title is anything to go by, there’s a very specific formula… As Ms Carey has publicly [...]

Energy equals Mariah Carey squared, apparently. Listening to her 11th studio album you could be forgiven for accusing her of a wild miscalculation. Mariah Carey to the power of ten would still be off the mark. What is it with today’s divas and their frantic employment of big-shot producers? The services of C “Tricky” Stewart [...]
