The multiplatinum singer says the album's title reflects how "each song is almost an intimate conversation or entry in a private diary. A lot of the songs reflect a different time in my life than where I am right now, inspired by actual events in my life, movies or stories from my close friends." Carey calls the album a tribute to the late R&B singer Minnie Riperton, whose own multioctave range was "so influential in my singing style." "Obsessed," the first single, already set another record for the singer: Its debut at No. 52 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart marked Carey's best bow on that list in 10 years. In addition to the-Dream ("We love having fun with lyrics") and Tricky Stewart ("One of the most underrated major producers"), who wrote and produced most of the album with Carey, she worked with Jermaine Dupri and Timbaland.
I could really care less if she goes #1 on I-Tunes. There are more important things for Mariah than a #1 on I-Tunes. We need to look at how she is going to do on Billboard, how much she sells on I-Tunes, how her album does.

I just hope it holds up and not falls out like TMB.
PLEASE Minnie's whistle is far superior. Inside My Love is a classic and she did some incredible things with her whistle. Mariah uses it more as an exclamation and because she can. I don't own any of her albums but I know my mom used to play her music and Minnie went for blood on each track. Her life is such a tragedy.
Anyways I'm kinda hyped for the album off of the Minnie reference but then on the other side she worked with Timbaland, JD & The Dream who are all played out to me. Hmm.... we shall see.
me too, even if Minnie has much more control, Mariah's whistle is undeniably better and very pleasing to the ears
