Have you forgotten that her singles always used to get remixes, and now stores no longer carry CD singles (by anyone)?


Yes, I'm aware of that. I have quite a bit of her remixed singles.

But the article stressed that they were remixing all of the tracks on her latest album plus potentially adding new tracks to it. To me that smacks of trying to repackage the album instead of just releasing a remix album.

typing


They would need something not only new but something that cant her seen and played, since MC is all about the numbers, its going to have to be something that will sell bigger than the album did to warrant re-packaging the same album

She has been working on this remix album since the original Memoirs cames out. She was trying to be all hush hush about it but kept dropping hints over the past few months.

Just recently, she revealed she did a remix of "The Impossible" with Jodeci (yes, all of them).

I don't mind a remix ep/album from anyone- hell even just an EP of new songs. I just hate when artists and label try to make fans re-buy the same album.

That's greedy and pretty much telling fans they were stupid for buying the album the first time.

I wish she were still doing dance remixes.


What would you call those Obsessed remixes?


I haven't heard them. Are they like house tracks or Euro dance techno type?

i ended up really really liking this album. and in the past i think Mariah had some great remixes. changing the song structure, different lyrics, making it a whole new song. but seems like this time around it's going to be a hot mess.


On the contrary, I can't imagine remixes commissioned for any past single release were ordered any further ahead than this project is. Instead of selling 6 different maxi-singles (which are dead), Mariah and the collaborators will be delivering the remixes for an LP. Do you know what I mean? What's the difference if it is for a maxi-single they have lined up for 2010 (which don't exist anymore), or an album?



the difference is, in the past, she actually had some decent songs to release as singles and remixes. you think that a remix album for this set is going to by anything more than trying to polish a turd by throwing some verses by rappers on them? shrug

Mariah needs to realize this is not 1995 or 1996 or 1997 anymore. She's been stuck in the '90s for a long time it ain't funny! lol Change your game plan MARIAH!

A remix album for an album nobody bought in the first place. Brilliant business model right there, Mariah. Since she didn't have any rent-a-rappers on the original, my only guess is that this project exists solely to find a place for them.

SO Memoirs has just come out here in the UK, and like a good lamb i waited untill release day wink
I must say I'm really liking it so far, well the beginning and the ending; the middle part just seems like a lot of filler.

I would prefer that. I listened to the remixes and don't care for them. It certainly wasn't me who told you about it. I love the Morales remixes. That's what I wanted for this disc. neutral

I'll buy it too. I like her remixes because she usually goes back in the studio and tranforms the songs.

I can't wait to to hear that The Impossible remix- "Forever your ladyyyy...layin' in the bed bumpin' Jodieci." biggrin

Those arent the re-sung remixes, just sped up vox.

I was hoping every song was going to be redone and re touched with some different music or something kind of like what Prince did with the Rave In2 album, however I see that's not going to happen.
