MARIAH CAREY

Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel is an amazing album with a slew of hits already. Obsessed was a summer run away hit and although it did not fair as well as I gotta feeling, it did well considering this is Carey's second release in under a year and a half and not a four year stint like the Peas. Obsessed is a smash hit and I personally downloaded not only the video to the song but the single as well as I couldn't wait for the album to drop. Having said that I plan on downloading the singles to this album instead of the album itself because I am more of a fan of the singles and remixes of Carey than the album content itself. It's a little more economical for me as well to do this as I often find I neglect to listen to the rest of the album in this single dominated market of downloading song only fanfare frenzy.

Anyhow I would highly recommend this album as a whole if you are more into the Carey of the past as it promises to be a more upbeat album as compared to the E=MC^2 that was most recently released. But if you are more into the single only download era, then I highly recommend the song obsessed and the song I want to know what love is, as this is a cover of a 1980's ballad of Foreigner esteem. Anyhow I am awaiting a more cooperative single for I want to know what love is, as I would love to hear some remixes to that song, as she often does ballad remixes the most interesting and best. Anyhow I highly recommend both songs and I would recommend the rest of the album and any more singles as well. I am sure there will be more follow up singles and I am awaiting those throughout the fall and winter months.
