Like every Mariah fan in the world, I've been desperate for the release of her new album, Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse. She is a maverick, a woman who doesn't follow the rules, so I wasn't surprised when she released the album in her own way. With this album, Maria seems to write her own life. I have so many favourites from the record - these are the ones that I can't stop listening to right now.
You Don't Know What To Do featuring Wale
I love how in this track Mariah's vocals contrast with Wale's rapping, it's like poetry. It just makes me want to dance. I want to listen to it all summer.
Cry
I adore this song. I know that it's the song that means the most to Mariah. There is such incredible raw emotion in her voice and such honesty in the lyrics. This is Mariah showcasing the powerful range of her voice and also a touching vulnerability.
Meteorite
Meteorite is so fantastic. It is upbeat, and it is fabulous. It's got the feeling of disco that just makes you happy and want to dance. I love it when music has the power to lift your mood.
Supernatural
This song really makes me smile. It guest stars Mariah's beautiful twins Monroe and Morocco also known as Roc and Roe and they already have talent at three years old! You can already hear a steady vibrato in Monroe's voice!
One More Try
I can't stop listening to Mariah's rendition of One More Try. George Michael is a great friend and one of my favourite artists, so I never think that anyone can do justice to his music. But I feel that Mariah really understands every word that he has written. At times her voice is angelic, at times pleading and then, towards the end, it goes into a crescendo reaching amazing heights. I'm sure that George would be very proud of Mariah's version of his much-loved song.
Beautiful
To me this song is timeless. It came out last summer, but when I hear it, it still feels like the first time. It features Miguel, who is one of the most exciting new artists around right now, and in it you get to hear Mariah's famous and unique whistle register. I love the words, and I catch myself singing it during the day - it's pure Mariah magic.
