Discarded track from "The Emancipation of Mimi" sessions.

very cool! Love the old school feeling!

Awesome! she should have put this single on E=MC2 and released it as the first single. It wouldn't have made the album that much better, but it would have been a more funky first single than "Touch My Body".

Mariah is my fav singer since 7th grade!! I bought all of her albums! I have to add this song to my collection.

I love this song.

However I prefer Slipping Away or Secret Love

Nice one.

Isn't funny how those discarded tracks, end up being the best material?

A plastic cafeteria fork smacking lightly against instant mashed potatoes would have been a more funky first single than Touch My Body.

Sounds like someone was listening 2 an old Jackson 5 song before they wrote this.

Nice. Was this released in any format?

nope, one of her producers put it on his myspace page for a limited time.
Everyone just got it off of there.
Love this song too

I'm gonna check this out. I'm not really familiar with her unreleased material.

It's good

Alej said:

What era are the titles that you mentioned you liked the most?

Cinnie said:

Slipping Away is from the Daydream era.
Secret Love is from the TEOM era

Alej said:

thanks

Cinnie said:

To clarify, "Slipping Away" and "Secret Love" were both officially released.

"Slipping Away" was issued as the b-side to the "Always Be My Baby" single, and "Secret Love" was the b-side to the "Shake It Off" single (Europe).

yeah this is my favorite too

I couldn't decide between
this one & "Sprung"
which is also produced by Taj Mahog

i don't get the robotic effects mess on the production though

I have NO CLUE why this wasnt the next track right after Always Be My Baby.



Anyway I Feel It is probably her 3rd best non-album tune. I love the sweet mmelody behind it. I 4get the sample they used but I think they didnt use it because they could not get a sample clearance...or was it her and the producer had a bad falling out?

There Goes My Heart by 7arelius should have been on Charmbracelet right after Subtle Invitation

after hearing "It's Impossible"
in that thread of Timmy's
I definitely wanna check out
those New Birth albums

trouble is, though
they are impossible
to "find" on the internet

@PricelessHo - thanx for the link to
"Do It Again", I dug it!

yeah, I imagine they had to get rid of this one...too boutique-niche-market-ish to fit in with current trends of r&b she knows how to manipulate so well . That being said,I like it, and it makes me wish I were strolling down 125th in Harlem on a hot Saturday morning, checking out street vendors and snacking on red (sugar free) licorice twists

i bought it for 11.00 at my record store. I believe it is their first album. I posted their remake of "OOh Child" on youtube...perhaps I should have uploaded more trax
