I don't know

I just hope it ain't no hip-hop drivel. I heard enough tracks on "EMC=2" not to buy it.

My feet are on the ground this time,,,,coz when I heard those fabulous ringtunes from Pepsi, I thought that was the direction she was going for,,,,little did I know, huh?

That sounds pretty hot. When is the album supposed to be coming out?

Not feeling it, it still sounds like the same midtempo stuff she has been doing over and over, honestly she seriously needs vocal production, that is her main issue on the last 3 albums for the most part, she doesnt know any other ways to use her voice

Harlepolis said:

I kinda knew the album wasn't gonna turn out to be like those Pepsi ads anyway... maybe that was the original concept but it changed.

i'm totally loving the vibe of it

btw, did you catch her tweet about h.a.t.e.u. being an acronym for something, aisha?

i wonder what it could be hmmm

PricelessHo said:

Child, don't hold your breath trying to figure out

I'm still trying to figure out the acronyms from the "Rainbow" album to no vail

Harlepolis said:

she better not lie or leave this hanging this time around though or i'mna turn her twitter page into a proper spamfest.

here they are btw:

Mariah Carey By the way H.A.T.E.U. Stands for something..can anyone guess? The chorus starts w/ "I can't wait to hate you make you pain like I do.."

Mariah Carey The point is you still love the person.."I can't wait to h.a.t.e.u. cos right now I need you..

PricelessHo said:

God, I love her playful use of her lyrics,,,,still an underrated song writer in my book.

The song Breakdown is a proof to that.

a fan's guess

Ham
And
Turkey
Eclipses
Unpasteurized Milk

Harlepolis said:

agreed.

speaking of that album, i had no idea it took her 4 full years to write close my eyes

very interesting clip

the damn clip is cut

i'll try to find another link

PricelessHo said:

I never appreciated the song untill I got afew beat downs from life myself..

Funny how one can learn
To grow numb to the madness
And block it away
I left the worst unsaid
Let it all dissipate
And I try to forget

Ain't it? Wow....

Harlepolis said:

spot on. the arrangement in it is killer too, especially towards the bridge.

.

here's the full transcript by the way:

Carey wrote this song 4 years before she recorded the Butterfly album. She explained to VH1: "I had just done my first concert for a TV special in Schenectady, New York. I hadn't done anything other than Unplugged and little one-off shows with a piano player, so if was like my first real concert. I got off stage and went home to this really pretty farm in upstate New York. I was taking a bath and looking out the window - one of my favorite things. The moon was out and I was reflecting on my life. It was the first time I really sat and took it all in. It's almost like I watched my whole career go by. I took a breath and said, 'I've really accomplished something. What did it take to get here?' That started the concept for the song. I wrote the whole first verse and kept it in the back of my mind - I didn't even write it down for like 4 years. Fast forward to '97, and while writing Butterfly, I picked up where I left off after the first chorus."

She added: "There are a lot of different things in the song that are personal and symbolic for me. A lot of my fans get very specific about that song because they apply it to their lives. I've read the letters and they really relate to that song. I don't want to say what my symbols are because it's about whatever they want to read into it. I like to keep some of those things for myself."

here's one more for you timmy :

can't wait to Heat And Then Eat U

has to go back to foooodz

PricelessHo said:

Good for her

It keeps the imagination & mystery elements fresh,,,,,Prince is notorious for pulling this tactic too as you know, and I'm a total sucka for that. I love to think about what a certain lyric stands for, as opposed to being handed with the obvious stuff.

Harlepolis said:

she mentioned once that as a teenager, she had a diva ruin one of her favorite songs for her by interpreting it, which turned out having nothing to do with her own interpretation

The snippet is a Whispering crappy record or what,or should i wait till i hear the finished product, I want another "fly like a bird"

seeingvoices12 said:

she's collaborated with that producer (big jim wright) for this record

I. Need. More.

jackie you seen the tweets from the other day? two remixes already, one of them resung

PricelessHo said:

you mean "hate u" ? or the new album?

I hope something good would come from this collaboration.

seeingvoices12 said:

sorry i meant in the album yea.

PricelessHo said:

I'm catching up now. I've missed a couple of days. I love that she's already working on the remix vocals.

PricelessHo said:

Good, Sounds Promising.
