The Distance (85,036) by Terna from Nigeria Solid. Easily up there with "Heart Breaker" and "It's Like That", but also current like how #Beautiful was at the time, it has first single written all over it. This "Caution" era and rollout is so unorthodox, nothing is as it seems. Lol I love it. Mad props to Roc Nation too. Mariah has a hit on her hands. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 13:24)

Re: The Distance (pre-order track) (85,027) (85,035) by Bill from the UK Hahaha, love that. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 13:12)

The Distance (85,034) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) This is the one upbeat, fun, and radio friendly. The Ty$ feature fits extremely well and does not overshadow her at all. So far we have gotten third different songs with current producers and the best part about that is all of the songs sound like Mariah which I can honestly appreciate. Also the theme is love and I like the vibe. Right now everything seems to be going well and I have no complaints at all. Thank you Mariah for continuing to share your life and gifts with us.

The Distance (85,033) by darrian liu from taiwan So far, my favorite track off Caution. I live for the current sound, mixed with her signature Hip-Pop sound. Ty's feature also sounded good. One of my main criticisms of the track is that it lacks buildup to a good climax, leaving it feeling like it's unfinished. A nice bridge after Ty's verse would've completed this song nicely, or perhaps the chorus, sung stripped down before the final hard-hitting chorus. But overall, again, although not her best, it's a respectable addition to her extensive repertoire. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 11:37)

Re: The Distance (85,025) (85,032) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, that sounds like Mariah. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 11:13)

Re: The Distance (pre-order track) (85,027) (85,031) by Licia from USA First off team Mariah gets alot of props for this roll out. They are doing a heck of a job. Secondly, I actually like the song. I agree that this one probably was a better choice as a single than With You. I wasn't sure how her and Ty Dolla would mesh, but they sound pretty good. Good job Mariah.

What's the buzz? (85,030) by Matt from Australia The Distance > GTFO. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 10:45)

Caution album (85,029) by Bobby A from United States Amazon is listing only 10 tracks on Caution. So, does that mean there will be a Deluxe Edition with more tracks? Surely, there has to be more than 10 tracks. I am hopeful for a Target Exclusive. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 10:38)

My first message (85,028) by Timothy from USA I have been reading this message board on and off for over 15 years. First as a backup to Mariah Daily and then primarily after. I have never, ever posted here because as a guy, I have kind of hidden my appreciation for Mariah and it has always been more interesting to see how close the insightful messages here could get to my own opinion. I debated posting last week during the "Come to Jesus" the group was having on the really dark negative tone of the board lately but alas, the webmaster shifted the energy with his message and I am glad my first post can simply be one of admiration. This is is it, guys. I have a very distinct ear for music and what translates with broader audiences and this is the hit we have been waiting for. An age old test of a hit song is whether the song makes you audibly sing the melody in some form by the end. Say what you will, but by the end of this weekend, through fellow celebrity/instagram star shout-outs and general public shares and re-shares there will be buzz for this song. Period. If Epic does what they need to, this has a real shot. I can't believe I finally can say that. For all the critical praise for the last proper album, there was not a song that fit squarely in heavy rotation at first listen. There were great songs, strong artistic work, but not commercial enough for the trends of that period. This is mechanically sound (meaning the ear worms are built in) with classic pop sensibilities with genuine, believable urban flare. Unless there is something just unforeseen in the market (like another major release by another female R&B singer), this will be a hit record. I am scared to jinx but I read Billboard weekly and if you look at how Elli Mae and SZA performed with their strongest singles this year and last as a comparison, I really think we are looking at a solid top 10 and possibly top 5 Hot 100 record. Mariah gets a greater boost than them on name recognition so the peak week in its run could possibly even help us to realize a milestone that is more pragmatic fans don't even say out loud. All I will say is another legacy artist put out a very commercially sound song in 1999 and it reached the milestone we shall not mention. Just imagine if this is not even the strongest commercial single on this album and once radio programers and streaming services have reacquainted themselves with her for a top 5 with this one before the next, even stronger one. She will easily be placed in heavy rotation with the next. Roc Nation deserves some serious credit. All over the internet tonight I am reading people asking why wasn't this the first single. We are in a different time. There was/is a strategy. And this time, that strategy may finally pay off. Now that I have broken the ice, I guess I might as well post more frequently I suppose. Hello to all my favorites on here. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 10:35)

Re: The Distance (pre-order track) (85,019) (85,027) by Licia from USA Bill likes it. Now I really have to hear this song. You know if Bill likes it, then I like it. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 10:05)

Aggressive (85,026) by Lee from UK I'm pretty sure Jermaine Dupri called this album "aggressive". So far we have GTFO, With You and The Distance. They all feel pretty mellow to me. I wonder if the remaining 2 thirds of the album gets any more aggressive? (Thursday 18 October 2018; 09:51)

The Distance (85,025) by 90sMariah from SG I looooove this freakingcarey so much. It's perky, fresh and fun. I can't wait to hear the rest. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 08:45)

The Distance (85,024) by Luke from United Kingdom Mariah is on a roll. I'm already hooked on this song. I hope she makes it a single and has a good video for it. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 08:35)

Slipping Away cover (85,023) by 123 from USA I really like how this band covered Slipping Away. Hopefully someone can send it to MC. I still wish she would pull this from the abysss and perform it. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 08:22)

The Distance (85,022) by Bobby A from United States MC delivers another nice track featuring my man Ty Dolla Sign written with Lido, Skirellx, and Poo Bear. She ain't playing this time. The album is shaping up to be just what we have been asking for. I love the new direction her team is taking to promote the album. November 16th hurry up, please. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 08:22)

The Distance (85,021) by automatic_prince from Germany I really like it. Thanks Mariah. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 08:18)

New song (85,020) by Hanno van Leeuwen from The Netherlands New song The Distance by Mariah and Ty Dolla $ign is simply amazing. Love it. On repeat. Can't wait for November 16. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 07:56)

The Distance (pre-order track) (85,019) by Bill from the UK Love love love this song. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 07:41)

The Distance (85,018) by 123 from USA I liked it at first listen. It wasn't the club banger smash I'm waiting for, but it instantly brought a smile to my face. She doesn't have a song like this currently. It's fresh and up tempo-ish. It's pop with a hip pop beat for all of those who have been pinning for to go back to her pop roots and make a current pop record. Another happy love song. I like the lyrics and I see she chose to apply a simple chorus like With You, however it works perfectly on this track. Especially when she starts to sing in full voice at the end, her vocals float over the track. I see she is applying the f work in every track, hence the Caution angle this era. This would fit in perfectly on the radio. The release of these songs tell a story. GTFO - breakup, WY - new love, TD - love going the distance. I want to hear the rest of the album. This song has a nice replay value. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 07:37)

The Distance (85,017) by RibbonB from USA Interesting, but it sounds like a rehash of My Love, which is a better song to me at least. I wish her well, but still singing about showing the haters is so dated IMO. The cheer on the intro and outro is cute, should have been explored more throughout the song. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 07:28)

The Distance (85,016) by TheOne from UK Just heard The Distance. How on earth can Mariah's team put With You out as a single before this song? Great track. Surprised that With You was chosen before this. Side note: I'm ignoring the auto tune. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 07:17)

Caution plus Go the Distance (85,015) by darrian liu from taiwan Go the Distance sounded like a full-blown bop. Love the more current sound, although from the snippet, her vocal stem sounded too "dry" for my liking (With You's vocal production sounded better). I've been loving the snippet so far though. I think that Caution will be an album geared more towards the younger demographic, and I don't know if it's a good thing or not, but so far, I've been liking all the sneak peeks to the album. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 07:00)

With You (85,014) by B from USA With You debuted at #22 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 06:28)

Re: I broke the seal (85,006) (85,013) by Dennis from Miami, FL I listen to both Christmas albums all year. I don't need any excuse. AIWFCIY is my jam. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 06:16)

Re: Album title (85,004) (85,012) by Stacey from USA Haha, so true. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 05:56)
