Billboard singles reviews
Mariah Carey is on the comeback trail. With new single "We Belong Together", she builds on the momentum of recent hit "It's Like That". The latter track was her biggest success on the Mainstream Top 40 chart since 1997 (discounting her featured role on Busta Rhymes' "I Know What You Want").
On "We Belong Together," Carey delivers a return-to-form R&B groove ballad. It's a stellar I-shoulda-known-better-please-come-back-to-me song, with her vocals taking center stage: A "foolish" Carey sings about how she desperately wants her baby back.
Radio and fans have been asking for a classic Carey ballad for a long time. "We Belong Together" is the kind of track that makes the wait worth it. Her new album, "The Emancipation of Mimi," arrives April 12. (Billboard)
