These are my reviews for the tracks in the album after drowning myself into it for a few days 8-)
Cry. - 8.5/10
I love her haunting vocals that she did to compliment the piano. My favourite part would be the second verse and the bridge :cry: The vocal break that she did to "loonnngggerrrr !!!!" gave it more emotions that it made me wanna cry. That backing vocals "Cry, Cry, Cry......" is stuck in my head right now :lol: And lastly the vocals at the end sounded like she was crying while recording it at the end.
Faded - 8/10
I love the production of this song cause of it's "cold" sounding piano keys and its nostalgic part
The only part that I disliked is the second verse where she added those choir backing vocals which kind of erase my "moment" when hearing the song. The part which I love the most is the chorus's entrance and the ending
Those whistles that she did in the second chorus really add the mood to the already nostalgic song imo.
Dedicated - 9/10
Gosh !! This nostalgic song singing about friendship really hits me hard. I changed to two different school, I remember having to leave all my old friends and starting a new life in a new school. Once again, the clever use of a Wu Tang Clan song sample that I've never heard before adds the nostalgic feeling to it. The lyrics like"La Di Da Di Da......" is so random yet so beautiful. And before I finish, I have to give prop to her singing her whistles softly and beautifully. Nas verse is also very strong imo.
#Beautiful - 9.5/10
Still one of my favourites from 2013. It would've been perfect 10/10 if she had sang the chorus more
ops:
Thirsty - 7/10
I was hoping that she'll make Thirsty a trap-influenced song, and she made my wish true :lol: I disliked the outro though and the belting at the end sounded like they copy and paste the vocals into it :x Still, a nice commercial song with a hit potential imo.
Make It Look Good - 7.5/10
A nice song with the harmonica
The only problem is that its my second least played song on the album and YM(E) being the first.
You're Mine (Eternal) - 5.5/10
Overall a nice and cute song imo. But it's so forgettable that I don't remember it being on the album (#Truth)
You Don't Know What To Do - 8/10
Definitely needs to be a single !! The intro alone can slay a career >>>>. The disco feel always makes me wanna dance and the minimal beat is great imo <3 At first I was sad that there's no choir moment at the end, but somehow her belting reminds me of her singing in the bridge of Make It Happen which makes me love the ending very much now. I personally feel that Wale's first verse is not needed though :wink:
Supernatural - 7/10
One of the cutest songs I've ever heard
ops: That key change alone makes me go -->
But the giggles creep me out tbh and somehow I find that this song is my third least played song on the album :-?
Meteorite - 10/10
One of the most perfect songs on the album !!! The lyrics, the production from Q-Tip, and the vocals can slay careers tbh. I keep finding myself singing "Meteorite-rite-rite...." for a few days. I've never been so in love in a uptempo Mariah song since Fantasy and Honey :cry: And it's my most played song on the album.
Camouflage - 9.5/10
The intro is giving me "The Wind" tease. This song describes my life so badly :cry: I remember I camouflage my tears in front of my friend who wore a "disguise" and our friendship was crumbling. I was waiting for him to say that he does still love me as a friend. I gave all of me as in stated in the bridge too. Anyways, it's a great song which nearly left me crying.
Money ($ * / ....) - 8.5/10
I was expecting this to be one of my least played songs due to the title. But I was so wrong, thhe song make me dance like a madman at home lol :lol: I love the trumpets in the chorus which totally adds a vintage side to the song
Though I kind of wish the chorus wouldn't be so whispery tbh
One More Try - 8.5/10
To be honest I feel that this cover does justice to the original. The chorus when she sings in falsetto "Hold you, touch yooouuu" gives me the chills in a great way
I love the heartbeat sound in the end with her breathing too
The lyrics of the song are cheesy though "You are my teacher and I'm the student" :lol: :lol:
Heavenly (Can't Give Up Now/No Ways Tired) - 9/10
Nice gospel song tbh. The key change keeps reminding me of "Love On Top" by Beyonce where she also does the same thing too
Most Played Song
1. Meteorite
2. Camouflage
3. Dedicated
Least Played Song
1. You're Mine (Eternal)
2. Make It Good
3. Supernatural
These flop reviewers base many of their reviews on hype instead of quality. Emancipation came out after a few unsuccessful eras and people weren't expecting it to slay as hard as it did, so they gave it a 70. Then she was back on top again when E=MC2 came out, so they gave it an 80. If those scores aren't enough to show that these idiots base their reviews on hype, I don't know what is. 
but I honestly don't even read reviews cuz I honestly only care to discuss the music with y'all instead of reviews from these people who think they are music gods
). and Dedicated are my faves
Of course I know what you're trying to say.
I was legitimately concerned
