Re: A No No (85,506) (85,513) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If it isn't, we'll be here 5 years down the line still complaining about it, like we do for "Migrate". (Thursday 1 November 2018; 15:11)

Re: A No No (85,501) (85,512) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I absolutely loved the song. This is exactly what I was hoping for. It sounds fresh but at the same time it sounds like it pays homage to some of her older songs that I love. Sound wise "Cruise Control", TMB, and like someone from the listening party said "SIO on steroids". Lyrics wise it reminds me of her more boss babe/diss tracks. Like "Obsessed", SIO and Someday/Prisoner (mostly because of the "I'm too good for you" vibes) and of course we have the club feels of "Migrate". If they don't release this as the next single with a proper push and music video (and do lambs dirty like Migrate) I will riot. The Shapiro line is iconic and fierce. My other favorites are "Snakes on the grass, it's time to cut the lawn". and "irregardless of what transpired, it ain't even worthy of a slick reply". And of course the boss babe "I'll be on the stage with the stadium light up" gives me "I'm the press conference, you're a conversation" vibes. I think this whole track is directed at Stella, since Stella was the snake and isn't worth her attention or a slick reply. And also because even after Stella tried to ruin Mariah's reputation, she's still out there selling out venues for concerts. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 15:10)

Re: Caution tracklist (85,508) (85,511) by Shezz from Pk It seems like this album will be a little like E=MC2 in that it seems like a good collection of singles. I am a little bummed out at there being only 10 tracks. I know a lot of people wanted that here but for me, the more the songs the more MC I get and even most of the fillers are often very satisfying. I wish there atleast 10 because it feels like we've nearly heard half the album already. I am particularly looking forward to hearing Portrait, the traditional introspective closer we have come to expect from an MC album. Seems like that might have some indepth song writing that the currently released songs are missing. Did the Diane Warren song make this highly selective 10 song cut? Seems tough unless it is Portrait. Also looking forward to the Blood Orange number (one rumour that was true). Lastly I'm hoping some of the album tracks cross over the 3:30 min mark otherwise Caution will be a 30 minute album the way things are going. Excited and hopeful. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 14:50)

Re: 8th Grade (85,505) (85,510) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's on her YouTube page, go check it out. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 14:47)

Re: A No No lyrics (85,354) (85,509) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Care to explain the Ginger/Gilligan reference? I didn't watch the show so I don't get it. I'm stupid, I know. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 14:16)

Caution tracklist (85,508) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines So we're back to the early 90s when 10-11 tracks were enough to constitute most albums including Mariah's. It would be really great if the remaining 6 unreleased songs were just as awesome as those we have heard so far, and would stay unheard until the proper release date. I feel like I Don't would be somehow tacked on there as a bonus track. That'd be odd. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 12:22)

Re: So far (85,492) (85,507) by Licia from USA It's so crazy to me that I don't know any words to With You. I normally latch on and learn her slower tempo songs first, but this one didn't take. I know every word to GTFO and The Distance though. I need to listen to No No No, but I'm trying to wait until the album release. I probably won't make it though. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 12:02)

A No No (85,506) by Edward from USA "A No No" should've been a single, just in case, I said it first. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 11:52)

Re: 8th Grade (85,500) (85,505) by Licia from USA Not me. I so wanted a song to hate. Oh well I haven't listened to No No No yet so there's still a chance. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 11:36)

Re: A No No (85,501) (85,504) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada This track is straight up fire on repeat lol. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 10:16)

No no nnnnnnana no (85,503) by John john from UK This song is amazing and should have been the latest single. I'm basically obsessed with this (to the annoyance of my husband ). It's playing constantly all morning. This album is gonna be a hit. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 09:53)

Re: Irregardless (85,477) (85,502) by 123 from USA If the only part that irked me about the song. I pretended she said it's regardless. Yup, that's what she said. Ed's explanation of it being a Mean Girls reference makes perfect sense. Like her I can't even know what to say phrase. The lyrics are clever, fun, and the arrangement is catchy. I wouldn't mind this as a single at all. Throw on Lil Kim and/Cardi B on the remix. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 06:42)

Re: A No No (85,476) (85,501) by 123 from USA Mimi L, I've been patiently waiting to hear a club banger/bop and I finally got one. Her voice sounds good on the track and I love the shady lyrics. My favorite part? "No no no no no no no no no. Get me Ed Shapiro (lawyer) on the phone case closed. I love this song as well. It will be on repeat all day tomorrow." (Thursday 1 November 2018; 06:36)

Re: 8th Grade (85,490) (85,500) by Bill from the UK So glad Open Me (Like A Bottle) isn't real lol. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 06:32)

Re: Voice appearance (85,465) (85,499) by 123 from USA Hello beautiful (Mara). How are you these days? Hope all is well. Thanks. What’s your fav song of the four (A No No is now on iTunes) so far? What song of the six song titles are you excited to hear the most? (Thursday 1 November 2018; 06:31)

Re: Voice appearance (85,460) (85,498) by 123 from USA Thanks Shezz. I love your posts and you always have insightful things to say and I like your vantage point. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 06:29)

Re: Track list snippets (85,455) (85,497) by 123 from USA It has the hi hat that he is known for. Plus she has worked with young new producers and he would be the only one that would sample an overused sample from the 90s (Lil Kim, SWV). It works really well and it's my favorite song so far. It's available now on iTunes and her YouTube page. Looks like they are continuing to reveal songs to show she has a strong body of work and win over the young kids using social media since they only know her for her shade and "that Christmas song". This shady club kiss off is a bop and perfect for the clubs. I like all the songs so far. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 06:28)

A No No is on iTunes (85,496) by Myles from CT, USA So good. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 05:07)

Re: going on Wendy (85,467) (85,495) by Susana from USA Lexingz, makes sense. Sometimes, you just have a feeling about something. Thanks for sharing. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 03:42)

Re: Irregardless (85,484) (85,494) by RibbonB from USA I figured she knew it, but did it intentionally, but it still grates. But, she did say "strepidation". I have never watched Mean Girls. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 03:37)

Loving this era (85,493) by Tevin from USA I'm loving how her team is handling this album release. Success or no success at least they are trying and doing things more out of the box. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 03:19)

Re: So far (85,485) (85,492) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter My rating would be A No No > The Distance > With You > GTFO. I'm happy with all the songs though, GTFO was the only song that really took multiple listens for me to like it. The rest became favorites on first listen. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 01:31)

Re: Irregardless (85,477) (85,491) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She says "such trepidation" in WY. A lot of people did think she says "strepidation" haha. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 01:28)

Re: 8th Grade (85,480) (85,490) by Licia from USA I love what they did with revealing the tracklisting. That was an excellent idea. Kudos to team Mariah. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 00:43)
