NEW MARIAH ALBUM: Mariah's "Love Songs" Album Out in Jan. 2009

From Keith Caulfield's Ask Billboard this week:

Hi Keith,

I have a few questions for you. Is Sony Music ever going to release a box set for Mariah Carey? Are they going to release a collection of all her videos on DVD when she was on their label?

The reason I am asking is that two of my favorite B-side songs she released on CD single are "Slipping Away" and "Do You Think of Me" and (neither) are available on any mainstream Carey album.

Thanks for reading!

Jeff Savage, Salisbury, Md.

I reached out to Sony Legacy (the company's catalog division) and, at least in terms of what's on their upcoming release schedule, there isn't a Mariah Carey box set coming soon.

However, there is a "Love Songs" compilation album from the diva scheduled for release on Jan. 20, 2009. (Just in time for Valentine's Day!)

We're sure the set will feature many of Carey's best known hits, since many of them deal with relationships and love. The "Love Songs" series has been around a number of years now and usually carry a list price of $11.98.

Perhaps some of Carey's lesser-known gems (and b-sides) might make this album? Sure, it's doubtful, but you never know. And, since the album will be released Sony, it will likely only include her work that she did while on Columbia Records through 2000, before she left the label.

sounds great. looks like most of my favorite artists are releasing a greatest hits this holiday and early 2009. madonna, michael jackson, mariah carey and celine dion.

except for the remixes, i do believe i already completed all of her songs (even the b-sides, thanx to eBay). i recently bought the canadian version of MB which has DYTOM as bonus track, instead of EFA. it's pretty easy to complete mariah's songs, unlike celine's.

I have burned 2 CD's myself with all Mariah's rare songs. Some of them aren't available to buy even on e-bay. Like ''Mizza'' for example or ''F.R.I.E.N.D.S''.

Apperently there won't be a physical single release of IBLYLT in the UK. It's not available on hmv or whatever it's called. Now tell me that the airplay is payed. Edited August 30, 2008 at 04:35 PM by Nikosn17

Now tell me that the airplay is payed.

at this point it seems like they prefer to sell the album, releasing a single could stop the little jump the album had in the last few weeks.

Maybe "I'm that chick" won't be such a bad choice as a single. It's already in some charts and maybe "Touch my body" did so well, because of the lyrics, so now "I'm that chick" might do the same trick.

Personally I love "Touch my body", "Bye Bye", "I'll be loving u long time" and "I'm that chick". Although I do think that "Migrate" would be the best song to promote as a single, followed by "I stay in love". (Maybe no chance as a single, but my favorite song of the album is "For the record"). Good thing about so many singles (whether they become hits or not): we get a lot of videoclips, official remixes and tv-performances! So you won't hear me complain.

I've also heard that Mariah is working on a NEW single and one of her co-writes said that her fans are in for a treat. So maybe this means that we can look forward to a totally new song!

I guess you are talking about the re-release. She said that she was wondering between Side Effects and I Stay In Love... I don't know why they choosed ''I'm That Chick''. But actually this may not be the real single cause it'll be send only to 1 format (UAC). Just like ''Fly Like A Bird'' and ''My Saving Grace''. No one consider these as actual singles. I guess we'll know the answer after her performance at Fashion Rocks.

UK Single Reviews: "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time"

• From Manchester Evening News:

Mariah Carey - I'll Be Lovin' You Long Time (Mercury)

By Glenn Meads

September 1, 2008

Touch My Body may not have been the best single to launch the brilliant E=MC², but this soulful sure-fire hit more than makes up for it.

With an old skool backing and wonderfully rich vocals (but not overdone) this is Mariah at her very best.

Summer may have faded quicker than your non-existent tan, but Ms Carey will ensure that she brings sunshine direct to your iPod with this superb single. Released on September 1.

• From Digital Spy:

Mariah Carey: 'I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time'

Released on Monday, September 1, 2008

By Nick Levine, Music Editor

http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/7042/90627318jz9.gif

The third single from her E=MC² album sticks rigidly to the formula that made Mariah a superstar again after the Glitter fiasco: midtempo R&B beats, cooing choruses and a vocal performance that's surprisingly restrained from a woman with eight octaves at her disposal and noone to tell her what to do.

Yet, in spite of its predictability, 'I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time' still makes for a satisfying listen, sounding classy, effortless and as summery as a glass of rosé in the garden after a work. Plus, as with most things Mariah does these days, there's an intriguing hint of strangeness lurking just beneath the surface - who else would name a song about eternal devotion after a line from Full Metal Jacket?

i wonder if mariah will still continue the tour this november despite of the album's poor sales. maybe she'll just do a brief tour just like the Butterfly tour.

Well she was repeating that the tour will happen until early August... so maybe they'll be some kind of tour but if it's going to be like TAOM I hope there won't be one.

September 3, 2008 at 09:28 PM

IBLYLT has been dropped by Radio 1 and demoted at Radio 2 so they have finally seen that nobody is interested in downloading the song.

no new single? :blink:

September 5, 2008 at 01:05 PM

no new single?

nope. ''I'm That Chick'' has been sent only to UAC radio and it bassicly has 200k AI more than when it wasn't sent to radio (1,7M today). I think it's not the 4th single. During TEOM and CB era they did the same thing with ''Fly Like A Bird'' and ''My Saving Grace''. They sent them only to UAC radio but no one really consider these as singles. There is now a rumor that she'll perform something with Rihanna at Fashion Rocks but I don't know. It's such a mess.

September 5, 2008 at 01:56 PM

Well dude, I am curious about something: do seem to know alot about Mimi, well, do you know about Celine as well? BTW, IMO, the album deserved a better luck than TEOM, coz it's better.

I def know more about Mariah but I know a lot about Celine as well. You are absolutely right about what you said about the album.

Mariah has been there yesterday for 6 hours. I'm wondering if she was rehearsing all that time :blink:

September 5, 2008 at 04:39 PM

I think that she feels like having a problem with her height. She is always wearing shoes that give her +10cm height. She also has a very bad taste of style... Edited September 5, 2008 at 04:41 PM by Moleque20
