Music News: Mariah's “Infinity” is about Nick Cannon

What's Mariah Carey's "Infinity" about?

Quote:

We're less than two weeks away from the premiere of Mariah Carey's new single, "Infinity", and details are starting to pour in. So, what's the track about? According to Showbiz 411's Roger Friedman, "most people will infer" that "Infinity" is about Carey's divorce from Nick Cannon. Whoa. This is gonna be good! Apparently, the whole concept behind the song is that "infinity isn't forever". Well, that sounds... devastating. No one knows how to pen an emotional breakup anthem quite like the Elusive Chanteuse, so this information has piqued my interest. Friedman also describes the track's lyrics as "witty" and notes that its hook is one "you won't forget". Wow. I'm ready.

Now that we know a little bit about "Infinity's" subject matter, we can turn our attention to its sound. Is it modern? Is it retro? Did Mimi jump on any current radio trends? Friedman writes that "Infinity" is "old school R&B", but "right on the money for now" (emphasis his). I'm not 100-percent sure what that means, as old school R&B isn't exactly a genre that's burning up the charts at the moment, but I suppose it gives us a general sense of the song's sonic direction. To be honest, I don't find the description especially promising, but I'll try to keep an open mind.

Now, to address the big question on every fan's mind: Will "Infinity" be a hit? It serves as the lead offering from Carey's upcoming collection of 18 No. 1 singles, #1 to Infinity - wouldn't it be cool if the tune became her 19th chart-topper? Yes, it would be cool. Unfortunately, given the star's recent track record, I don't think it's likely. At the end of the day, however, I just want to hear good music. After all, commercial success - which Carey has had plenty of in the past - isn't everything.

"Infinity" debuts worldwide on Monday, April 27.

I think she already did that with Thirsty

I really hope she does something serious for once (like WBT) instead of the tacky immature music she's been trying to serve (see Touch My Body, Obsessed, ...).

And for God's sake make her be fully clothed in the music video.

Ummm Mariah's witty songs are what makes Mariah, MARIAH.

She's already tried recreating WBT's formula so many times and failed. What separates Mariah from the other powerhouse vocalists, is her personality and the fact that she can translate that so well into her lyrics.

She probably knows this release might not be a hit, might as well give your fans something they'll love and something she herself will love other than another WBT-formula type song that'll be forgotten as soon as it comes out (ex. You're Mine).

I do hope she doesn't make the fool out of herself in this video though. You're Mine and #Beautiful's videos were the pits.
