Mariah Carey

Well, for a Rock cover, I would go with R.E.M - Losing My Religion.... should be very interesting

[Shaka]

I always wondered why whitney’s album doesn’t credit Mariah on WYB. Do you know why, Shaka?

No idea
Btw, they fixed the YouTube title video and now is Whitney & Mariah.
This is not new but more like a friendly reminder LOL.

I disagree with the characterisation that the album has a "cult like following"

Butterfly is considered one of the most iconic R&B albums in the 90s or even of all time.

An album that I would say has a cult following would be something like Glitter. Butterfly is far from that.

I agree.

I would never think as Butterfly (album) as a "cult like following" thing or whatever.

That's a nice one

I would like less covers and more samples, selfish but I love her personal touch

Butterfly had success

I don't care about covers. I only need a new album right now lol

Unless she's sampling herself.

Runway remains tragic.

Tho she has turned covers into masterpieces, like OHOMO and even AAO & BOTH.
But I'm not here for corny ballads for covers. Gives us something more interesting, 'cause u have that gift. Even country!

Butterfly had success

I know.
That's why I don't understand that comment.
Saying that is a fan favorite (even MC's fave) or "her magnum opus" (lots of outlets and music sites call it like that btw), doesn't make the album a cult classic kind of thing. I mean, it has sold over 10 million copies WW, 2 #1 singles and one of them is one of her most well known ballads around the Globe.

Runway remains tragic.

I don't think is tragic, but I'm happy that is not in the regular version of the album.
It doesn't belong on there.

And no, it wasn't "just air".
She did hit that F#2 (and three times, while doing a melisma).
Insane control.

Fantasy going on another high on next month!

Mariah Carey - TBA

Mariah let slip during an interview just before Christmas that she was working on something that could be with us as soon as this spring, saying "It's something I've wanted to do for a long time and people have asked me to do for a long time." Oooh. What can she mean?

Kinda interesting that with so many BIG NAMES on their list and with dates of release already confirmed, they mentioned and posted a pic of Mariah

https://www.officialcharts.com/chart...n-2022__34932/

Imagine if she drops a single for Valentine's Day.

[bm08]

I would like to hear Runway without the sample as I think that loop ruins it for me. I also think this sample is the reason why its not on streaming services due to legal issues.

I think the sample could've been used better.
I love that part, but the thing going through the whole thing makes everything to sound messy and noisy, when her vocal delivery on the track is great.

Anyway, even without the loop sample, it doesn't fit on Caution (album).
Nice that she included it in some international edition tho.

And btw, why would be that a legal issue?
I mean, Emotionless by Drake is a similar case and it's on every streaming platform.

Mariah Carey when she was Brenda K Starr's background singer

Meody was totally O.O.C.
I can't a Nicole face LMAO.

It's so weird we didn't have any performance from Brenda with Mariah doing BG.
I mean, she was famous, Mariah worked for her for quite a time

[Shaka]

Gawd, I live for her tone here.

Rainbow tone is just

I was reading the replies to that tweet and found this one. What about those unreleased songs this user talks about? “That’s a Smash” and “Call Me”?? Never heard of them

[mm2912]

she promised butterfly lounge for US spring so around march-may, I wonder how long she'll take to announce anything or a buzz single or whatever

[Shaka]

LMAO that user is making things up.
"Call Me Now" is a rumoured collabo she did with Westlife - as a bonus track for Angels Advocate, but it was never confirmed.
"That's a smash" is another rumoured collabo with Busta, also as a bonus track for AA, but again, never confirmed.

Lambs need to manage/low their expectations.

Be happy with TBL being released at some point this year.

PS, btw, she never promised anything in terms of release date.
We were talking about a spring/summer release being the better option. But that was just us doing presumptions.

mariah said herself from her own mouth around spring

[RayRay]

I've always wanted her to cover Show me heaven.
I don't know why, but everytime I hear the chorus, I picture her belting it out

Did you ever hear Tina Arena's version? She gave this song life, belted it out with all her heart. Never listen to Maria McKee again.
