My first reaction - Caution (86,004) by Liz Archer from Sweden
Ok, I had my first listen to the new songs. I have to admit I'm slightly disappointed. Something has changed, I'm unsure what it is. It's probably the sound. The first songs she has already released are probably the best songs of the album. The rest isn't a classic "I'm going to listen to this forever" song, which is disappointing. She has been experimenting a bit here but it doesn't stick. It's ok I guess but I don't like the sound. I think she isn't singing in the genre I would have preferred. There is also noticeable change to her voice. It sounds much more strained. I honestly don't want to be hating here but most of the album isn't a sound I enjoy. Portrait and Caution were interesting. There are a few ones that sounds good. I will listen to this a few times more, maybe something will grow on me. I will definitely still listen to the songs like "With you" and such, best songs of the album.

First listen (86,003) by John john from UK
Immediately drawn to 8th Grade and Giving Me Life. Downloaded at 3am and went to work even early so I could listen to it loud on my own. Sounds great.

8th Grade (86,002) by RibbonB from USA
So I love songs 8 and 9. Instantly loved them. Did I miss why 8th Grade is the title? I never hear her even say 8th Grade in the song. It has a great flow. Instantly radio ready and memorable. Song 9 is also a pleasure. It reminds me of the Khalid hit Location, which I also love. Playful and infectious. The early releases already bore me unfortunately. Good luck to Mimi.

Caution is fire (86,001) by Kenny from Canada
Love. Love. Love. Every. Single. Song. From the first track (GTFO) to the last (Portrait). My top 3 are Caution, Giving me Life and Portrait.

Caution era (86,000) by Jono from USA
Is officially upon us. M and her team have done a fantastic job with the promo. Remember, her last studio album's promo consisted of her on snap story riding the L train in an evening gown. I am so proud of her and the great body of works she continues to put out. She has outlasted her peers, and is looking radiant. Happy listening everybody.

Re: Audios to all the songs from Caution (85,988) (85,999) by Lara from Middle East
None are available in my country except "A no no". I was able to hear it through the Anghami application. "Giving me life" is really something.

Re: Caution (85,992) (85,998) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
What? Stay Long Love You is my favorite from the 6 tracks we didn't hear before. It does remind me of "To The Floor" though and I like that song too.

Glitter Day (85,997) by Tevin from USA
So for now on Nov 15th should be deemed National Glitter Day.
P.S. One more hour until Caution drops.

Re: Caution (85,992) (85,996) by Bobby A from United States
Great review. Who is sugaplum? Lol. Is she keeping up with what is happening with Caution right now? The album is fire.

8th Grade (85,994) by Hector from Mexico
Can't get 8th Grade out of my head. Love it.

Re: Glitter #1 (85,987) (85,993) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada
Nope. I bought Glitter in store in 2001, so at least 3 of us bought it.

Caution (85,992) by Terna from Nigeria
Listened to the album in it's entirety soon as midnight struck. Lol. Instant faves:
8th Grade - (Remember JoJo's Edibles?) This sounds like a sibling of that song.
Caution - Solid title track.
Giving me Life is a whole journey and gave me chills
One mo' Gen like GTFO but more complicated melody, vocals and lyrics and that cackle at the end is everything. Hehe.
Notable mentions:
Potrait - The "Looking in" and album closer. Would have to grow on me I didn't really click with this one.
Stay Long Love You - The "To The Floor" of this record. I already know I will not be playing this one often. Sugaplum you better not like this song. Lol she's going to kill me.
Overall rating 4.5 out of 5 stars. Solid album.

(85,991) by IheartMC from USA
Hey guys, just wanted to refer this new artist who you can definitely tell was inspired by Mariah Carey. Something about him reminds me of nostalgic Mariah. Here is a link, let me know what ya think or please support a fellow lamb who has a great voice and music. Enjoy and let me know what you guys think.

One Mo' Gen (85,990) by Bill from the UK
This track is great. The best one on the album. Ear candy. Love at first listen, just like when I heard Make It Look Good for the first time. Overall, very happy with the album. It’s like an updated E=MC2. Nice to have a fun record again.

Re: Glitter #1 (85,976) (85,989) by Special K from USA
I know Caution dropping but man a sister has to really soak in and enjoy the fact that the damn Glitter soundtrack is number one. Me and some fellow fans are popping bottles and enjoying All My Life as I type. I feel like I am in a dream. This album was crucified, ridiculed, laughed at and dang near demonized. Virgin records dropped Mariah quicker than a New York minute. I am sorry but it feels so good to see Glitter get it's just due. Ok I am done. I think. Maybe Charmbracelet is next? Hmmm.

Re: Glitter #1 (85,976) (85,987) by Licia from USA
Special K I think you and I are the two people who bought Glitter in 2001. Seriously though I agree with everything you said. Glitter is a great body of work.

Loosing my English because the album is excellent (85,986) by Gilles from Malta
Sorry for my last message but I was on a natural Mariah high by listening Caution on Spotify. Wow wow what a beautiful album, it is one of the most artistic album I have heard for a while. (Of course I like other artists but this album Caution incredible. Lyrics are perfects and that's what I'd expected (so great and so metaphoric). Giving me life as I said is out of this world So So Def. Good music lyrics voice atmosphere I felt like a kind of mood transcended me. On Mo Gem is delicious, Portrait is Mariah's Saving Grace, 8th Grade and Staying Long Love are current and good, With You plays on repeat for a long time now, GTFO as well. One of the most innocent and poetic way to say Get the F out she made it sweet because I have never heard anyone say it this. No No are good. Mariah did like that Bone Thug song Breakdown. It means a lot of different layers of her voice that results as hypnotic. An excellent production. Congratulation to Mariah and Mariah's team. She will make the people listen the whole album and not only few songs like I do for some myself. It is very difficult in the 21 century to be able to listen a whole album without skipping tracks, Caution just flows like a nice atmosphere and a nice breeze. Enjoy guys, hoping you feel the same way I feel.

Caution is lit (85,985) by IheartMC from USA
Wow, I am so glad I was saving my opinion of this current era until the full album was released. It's insane how she allowed With You to be released with diamonds such as Giving Me life (that guitar riff is everything), Caution and 8th Grade in her pocket. This album is definitely not for everybody but it will help re-invent our girl. I love this album I am a stan since Emotions era. I think this is what she probably wanted E=MC2 to be. This album is serving justice for Migrate lol. Congrats to us lambs for making Glitter and Mariah having the redemption only suited for icons of her stature. She really is a queen. No one will ever come close to her. Her songwriting and melody arrangements are back and I am so glad she made this album. I was waiting for big vocal moments but there aren't many. This is more radio friendly music with an atmospheric vibe to it. Kudos to M for making a cool, modern and edgy project. Lovesss. Top picks:
Caution
Portrait
Giving Me life
The Distance
Stay Long Love You

Re: Three Mariah albums charting at the same time (85,980) (85,984) by Bobby A from United States
So true. We are all one family united for MC. Sometimes we have our differences about her creative choices. But we come together because Mimi is brilliant and a game changer when she delivers. I told everybody not to worry because Caution is all that we have been asking from her. A very huge and busy week for MC starts tomorrow. One year ago we were so sad about her performances, singles, management and no album. Look at us now. Lol.

Caution is amazing and very well produced (85,983) by Gilles from Malta
Wow that's what the only word I can say. Love it, "Giving me life is a gem", a real diamond. Bravo, cheers. Enjoy everybody. Amazes.

"Caution" (85,982) by Billy from Greece
Say what you want, the woman is a genius. I'm super sleepy but I wanted to listen to the album. I'm so proud of her. This is a reinventing album, the way I felt "Emancipation" was. I loved it. Very modern, very cutting-edge. I can see similarities with "E=MC2" but "Caution" is way more adventurous. "Giving Me Life" is her weirdest song to date, not in a bad way, very Prince-esque in fact. I loved the title track and "One Mo'Gen". "Stay Long Love You" is the song I liked the least. "Portrait" is all it promises to be, the moment you look through yourself by having Mariah looking through her own self. Very accomplished work, beat-driven songs. I would say it's more of a "mood" album, if that makes any sense, not necessarily easily replicated live, but I don't care about it now. Bravo Mariah.

Re: Bilboard Top 200 (85,979) (85,981) by 123 from USA
No Billy. Hopefully it will chart but I'll take #1 on iTunes and all the media coverage it's getting. Padma (Sylk) even got in on the action on Twitter with a make shift single cover with the title You and Only You and the hashtag justice for glitter. I'm going to listen to it when I get home until Caution drops here in the States at midnight. It's alreay dropped in other countries and lambs are loving the album saying it's her most experimental and Giving Me Life being compared to The Roof. So excited, I will have some wine ready for my listening party.

Three Mariah albums charting at the same time (85,980) by Pau from Mexico
Happy Glitter day to all. The lambily is amazing. Mariah must be incredible happy and excited. Merry Christmas, Glittler and Caution will be charting in the next days. Today is a good day to be a lamb.
