Carey comes "Alive" with brand new track
The next edition of W Magazine will reveal Mariah Carey's upcoming power ballad "Alive" which she recorded live in the Bahamas. The song intially penned by Aurelius and 7 has now production notes under Chartmaker Inc and ASCAP adding the additional production of super balladeer David Foster.
The singer/songwriter discussed her future projects with W's Maggie Downer during her "Charmbracelet" Tour in Las Vegas. The track promised to mix live vocals with a studio beat but is "transparently honest". According to W, who heard the title mastering, the song is unlike any Carey song. "It's refreshing to hear Carey sing folk in a ballad format," quotes W's Downer. The opening is a guitar-based ref that stops completely allowing for a lower registry Carey to pull in and continue with her mid-chords staying comfortably throughout the song.
The lyrics "Soft and tender, he feels aliver when he dances with the moon" is whispery but candid and erotic. The track will be a teaser to her upcoming March EP "Live", a collection of live songs from Carey's journey's recording live music in the studio or on stage. The EP will feature 6 tracks including the highly anticipated power ballad "Reach for the Sky".
"Alive" will drop into radios on October 28, 2003. For more on this check out the October issue of W, out in newsstands next month. (W Magazine) Many thanks to Mariah-Carey.org.
