About The Emancipation Of Mimi - Platinum Edition
Amazon.com Early buzz on The Emancipation of Mimi predicted that this would be the disc to mark "the return of the voice"--the voice being that glass-shattering instrument that propelled Carey to bestselling female artist of all time status--and mostly it is. But because of the small army of talent involved in its assembly, the album is way more than just a comeback vehicle. For proof, try the straight-ahead, look-out-Beyoncé-Mimi's-still-got-it "Mine Again"; the '70s-soul cuddle-up "Circles," a don't-attempt-on-American Idol love song; or the gospel dazzlers "Fly Like a Bird" and "Stay the Night." But for songs that steer this disc directly into 2005, no looking back, scan the jewel case for tracks followed by the word "featuring": "To the Floor," with Nelly, bumps along to maximum booty-shaking effect, while Twista spins his natural-disaster-force vocals into "One and Only." Snoop Dogg, Pharrell Williams, and Jermaine Dupri also pitch in; between them and the highwire vocals, Emancipation works the kind of pure-pop magic that sets us all free. --Tammy La Gorce This platinum edition features four tracks not found on the original release: "Don't Forget About Us"; "What It Look Like"; "So Lonely (One & Only Part II)"; and a remix of "We Belong Together" featuring Jadakiss and Styles P. More Mariah Mariah Carey Emotions Music Box Merry Christmas #1's Glitter Product Description The bestselling U.S. album of 2005 was Mariah's tenth LP and is widely considered to be her mid-career comeback and a return to form. The early 2000s consisted of a series of both personal and professional setbacks, but here the theme of a new found independence thrives. The album is full of the type of ballads that had her owning the top of the charts over much of the past decade, though she also dives into retro-soul and gospel. The single "We Belong Together" owned the top spot on the pop charts for 14 straight weeks. Billboard went on to name the track "Song of the Year." It joins, "It's Like That," "Shake It Off," "Don't Forget About Us," and more, including a bonus remix of "We Belong Together." Island.
