Mariah Carey

[bm08]

That sounds like the climax of the song to me.. hope it’s a bit fuller instrumentally/choir-wise.. her voice sounds devine though! Can’t believe that after “The Star”, this is Mariah in 2021. She sounds so young and healthy!

I vaguely recall some of her comments on Twitter space talking about a song that she said moved through several genres or something like that. I wonder if this is it where it maybe starts slow and builds into a big Gospel climax?

Mariah's 'It's Time' video on twitter has now reached 6.5 million views, which is a touch more than the 6.2 million for last year's video.

I seem to remember her first one from two years back reached over 8 million?

Quite possibly - that would be very interesting.

I don't know if that sounds like the climax to me... it sounds like it could be the bridge - if the song even has a regular structure.

In the tik tok video Mariah said something like "make sure to listen to the end" so I don't think that would be the climax, or certainly not the end of the song.

[Chris87]

Sounds fantastic to me! Loved her It’s Time video too!!!!

[Michiel]

Even though I’m not looking forward to new Xmas music, she sounds really good and the snippet sounds interesting!

I think that’s the climax of the main song but there’s the outro to come. Similar to how Giving Me Life ends or the WBT Valentine’s mix.

This sounds like a lovely song and it’s nice to hear her duet with a male again on a new song. It feels very natural. Looking forward to hearing the full song.

[Milano]

Definitely sounds natural, in her comfort zone.
Excited about the whole thing now. Love how she knows she needs to give us something new every Christmas season, to keep those of us who are not big on Christmas on board.

I actually had Giving Me Life cross my mind briefly when thinking about this... and though - Mariah could go all out at the end.

Potentially even something like JTTW at St Johns.

I'm very curious... and I hope the curiosity pays off!

Will not judge until I hear the full version. Pretty sad that she tagged the wrong Khalid on Twitter and did not even bother to find him on Facebook… the physical Cd will ship November 11 so it won’t count for the first week and apparently they will do a TikTok contest the week after that. Interesting strategy…

I think they are targetting the entire month of November.

Yasssss... That snippet of FILAC sounds amazing .. fallen in love already

[bm08]

Also, I am excited by the fact that they are also releasing it to radio - probably UAC. That will indeed help the song's longevity if it takes off similar to Somewhat Loved and Where I Belong

[darnellabc]

Both Mariah and Khalid sound Devine in the snippet. Friday can’t come soon enough!

[elguachin]

I love it first listen to the snippet. It’s a “bolero”, i love the mood.
Wth with Mariah mistaking khalid’s account on Twitter

Yes this is what I had in mind. I feel this is the end of the radio edit but there’ll be a gospel outro on the extended version.

[bm08]

People are really comparing it to My All

[NorthernMonkey]

The chord structure and melody is very “early 90s” but with a modern accompaniment and for that reason I absolutely love it. It puts me in mind of her early duets with men and omg omg, Yes.

[NorthernMonkey]

And actually it could also serve as a Middle-8 so I have no idea if this is even the chorus. The anticipation…..

What in the hell are the lyrics though? I hear

And all the pageants in the sky
Shine on the monsters fee fo fi
We gotta fall in love again this Christmas time

Found this in genius

[Snippet]

[Mariah Carey]
Oh baby we gotta fall

[Khalid]
This Christmas I’ll be there
This time ?

[Mariah Carey & Khalid]
We gotta fall in love again at Christmas time
And all the angels in the sky
Shine down on us as we go by
We gotta fall in love again this Christmas time
