Jimmy Jam x Terry Lewis x Mariah Carey "Somewhat Loved (There You Go breaking My Heart)" Jimmy jam x Terry lewis x Mariah Carey "Somewhat Loved"
I really like their collaboration. Nice piano driven r&b tune with a modern sound. Would work well as an acapella as well in my opinion. Jimmy Jam said she already had the song written out and they composed the music and arrangements around it.

We stood there alone
Spun out of control
In this faithless world I must own Angel turned his back And where wings once were They were no longer intact [Pre-Chorus] (Fell) Helplessly into bliss Just like Fall things started to switch (Fall) And now Spring's everything that I miss Somewhat loved (only somewhat) The more I thought about you (the more I thought) Was the less I thought about me And I lost myself in this dream Somewhat loved (only somewhat) [Chorus: Mariah Carey] There you go Breakin' my heart, breakin' my heart Breakin' my heart again (why you got to go away?) No such thing as lovers and friends And there you go Breakin' my heart, breakin' my heart Breakin' my heart again You only live to break my heart again [Bridge: Mariah Carey]
La la la la (There you go) La la la la (There you go) Baby La di da da da Stay with me You go Breakin' my heart, breakin' my heart Breakin' my heart again There is no such thing as lovers and friends There you go Breakin' my heart, breakin' my heart (I think you do it baby) Breakin' my heart again You only live to break my heart again [Chorus: Mariah Carey] Breakin' my heart, breakin' my heart (You're making me go thru things) Breakin' my heart again (That I never went thru before) No such thing as lovers and friends Oh baby you're breakin' Breakin' my heart, breakin' my heart Breakin' my heart again You only live to break my heart again Straight Jacket Funk Affair

I couldn’t get into it and the breaking my heart lines reminds me of we belong together so it’s a bit redundant. Hope it grows on me cause I love flyte Tyme and Mariah | |

Sounds like a track janet jackson wouldve passed on, back in the early 90's ...its not bad, but i just expect so much more from JimmyJam&TerryLewis, based on their amazing track record | |

Literally every track on Mariah's Caution album is superior to this and better produced. The production here is incredibly basic for Jam & Lewis. | |

I feel the exact same way, caution is a great album and this sounds like she’s trying too hard to be popular more than authentic. And I love flyte Tyme and trying hard to collaborate with them | |

I think Mariah had a lot to do with the sounds she wanted because she has been using this same time signature and fingersnap for a while...however I love the piano and songwriting. Straight Jacket Funk Affair

This is 20 years on from getting Jam & Lewis for Glitter. I don't think it is working this Tyme. | |

Why can’t she use her full voice? I’m so sick of the whispery vocals. Her old records from 90-95 were so much better than this. Sad! | |

As an artist,Mariah has become predictable,bland and boring.This new song is just more of the same. | |

as for Jam and Lewis….let’s hope that there are better,stronger songs on their album than the two tracks that have been released so far. | |

The song they have with Sounds Of Blackness Til I Found You is the best one I've heard so far. It's a nice upbeat song that makes a reference to the Ohio Players Heaven Must Be Like This near the end. Don't laugh at my funk

This riff sounds like a replay of something else, and it's bugging me. | |

Man... that ain't it. My brain keeps turning it into "Piece Of My Love" but that ain't it either. | |

Oh man that makes total sense. Flyte Tyme was probably competing with that track. | |

I heard this on the radio today. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |
