MARIAH

< > Rolling Stone Magazine writes: Mariah Carey’s last album The Emancipation of Mimi was the breakout hit of 2005 selling more than 5 million copies (in the U.S. alone). For the follow-up, she’s hewing close to Mimi’s glossy, club-ready sound, with beats from Jermaine Dupri, Stargate, Bryan Michael Cox and Will.i.am. “Seriously, I can’t wait to put this record out,” says Carey. “I’m in the studio day and night trying to cook it to perfection. If the last album was dinner, treat this as dessert.”
