Wow...the album sounds verrrry low-key. Not what I was expecting at all. It's kind of "rainy day" music. I don't see this one being a smash judging by the clips.

GOOD!!!!! tired of her and rappers all over every track

She ain't got no rappers in this shit. Thank God!

I like her cover of "i want to know what love is"

A great song in much need of bringing to the attention of a younger generation.

I would have liked an even more minimalist rendering, she has the voice to pull it off.
Hopefully no more rappers mashed up into any singers songs, it always just reeks of desperation on the part of both the label and artist alike.

^^ I feel you on that.

I am surprised- in a good way!
I really didn't expect an album like this coming from Mariah nowadays, but from what I can hear it sounds like she's on her way back to the old MC who's music I fell in love with. I can't wait to hear the songs in their entirety, especially "It's a Wrap"!!!

HATE U and Standing O sound ok so far.....but I dont hear any live instruments...that's ok though, I will try to look the other way...it's just so promising when she does.

Gawd, I need to listen to the whole thang because right now all the songs sound absolutely the same to me

I can't hear it

I guess its because I get the American amazon.

But I have to say I'm surprised Mariah went about another route. No rappers= great

I'm just so happy to be hearing rapper free music coming from that lady
To me, it sounds like a pretty mature and mellow thing that reminds me of the 90's, which means she's on the right track. That's enough to make me happy

Its a Wrap
Impossible (Reprise)
Angel
Angel's Cry
I Wanna Know What Love is (Cover)

sounds so beautiful, sounds like a cross between Twister & Sunflowers

love the lyrics to these

BETCHA GON' KNOW

Though the lights were low
I could see you both
In a lover's silhouette
And my heart stood still
I was froze right there
Staring down at her red dress
So I bolted out the door
Jumped right into the car
It's too dangerous to be
In the vicinity of where you are
Rolled down all the windows
Just so I could breathe
Can't believe you just
Actually did this %#!@ to me


HATE U

Sat at home and cried
How'd our fairytale just end up this way
We went round for round
Till we knocked love out
We were laying in the ring
Not making a sound
And if that's a metaphor
Of you and I
Why is it so hard to say goodbye
I can't wait to hate u..

It's like they got together and had a baby.

I really like what I'm hearing so far and lovin' the low vocals.

@ Its A Wrap. And I absloutly love the Ahmad nod from "Candy Bling".

BTW The Impossible sounds like it would've came from Ms.Faith Evans
