This next chapter is about owning my narrative and creating freely on my own terms (109,780) by Sasha from Nomansland Mariah has a hard time taking her own responsibilities when things don't work. She's always blaming someone or something else. (Thursday 17 July 2025; 09:24) this is a reply to message 109,773

This next chapter is about owning my narrative and creating freely on my own terms (109,773) by Bill from the UK Mariah's been saying that same tired old sentence with every album she's put out since Butterfly. Okay Tommy directed your first five albums and made you sing pop orientated ballads. We get it. You've made 10 albums since. What would be a good change of pace is her saying "I've collaborated with [name of hot new producer] and have handed the reigns over to them, putting my complete trust in their vision." Then I'd be interested in the output. Something tells me we're getting another album of same RnB with samples, a few rap features, and an introspective ballad thrown in somewhere. Prove me wrong Mariah. (Wednesday 16 July 2025; 22:37)

New snippet (109,779) by TJ from Norway I was shocked to see her without heels. (Thursday 17 July 2025; 08:14) this is a reply to message 109,775

New snippet (109,775) by Haiji from United States MC just posted an acapella moment of what could possibly be her new song. (Thursday 17 July 2025; 02:26)

New snippet (109,778) by Shezz from Pk At first I thought oh wow she's teasing a new song/next single. Then it struck me later that it also could be a "mop song" moment that she's making up/freestyling while "cleaning" - "I'mma keep it nice, I'mma keep it neat" could literally just be about cleaning, not necessarily lyrics to the song to launch the album. Confused and curious. (Thursday 17 July 2025; 07:29) this is a reply to message 109,775

New snippet (109,777) by Terna from Nigeria Saw this earlier on, it's very melodic and heavy on the nostalgia kinda like an early 90's song. Now I'm quite curious about the new album. (Thursday 17 July 2025; 04:02) this is a reply to message 109,775

New snippet (109,776) by Bobby A from United States It is beautiful. She still has that beautiful tone. MC is coming for us. I don't think we are going to get the same old album formula, but something new and earth shattering. (Thursday 17 July 2025; 03:36) this is a reply to message 109,775

The problem with Type: Dangerous (109,774) by Brad from USA There is simply nothing uniquely Mariah about this "song". Her name and voice are a "brand" at this point and there is a listener expectation of something unique to her sound or abilities with every song. Most of her songs deliver that. Type: Dangerous does not. Any person could sing this "song", as it never results in a moment that is identifiably Mariah. It's bland, generic and in some places crass. Does anyone really want to hear a 56 year old Mariah calling people "hatin ass hoes"? Apparently not. Not to mention ya don't do that as a mother when you have a teenage daughter. Bad move, Mariah. We all know she can do better while still being "on trend". This song is just garbage. And it reflects poorly on her judgment that she didn't realize it before putting it out. Let's hope for better from MC16. (Wednesday 16 July 2025; 23:11)

This next chapter is about owning my narrative and creating freely on my own terms (109,765) by T from USA By the way, what does Mariah mean when she says this new project lets her create music freely on her own terms? I do believe this will be the most unmanaged album of her career (it took 7 years to even get to this stage). But I thought she created Butterfly, Rainbow, Glitter, Charmbracelet and TEOM pretty much freely without that much oversight or am I missing something? Even MIAMTEC was probably very unmonitored. It's like she always goes back to the first three album narrative of being controlled every time she releases something new, unless those above albums (the later years) still had heavy input by their respective labels? I am low key excited to hear what a completely free and unsupervised (on her own terms) body of work will sound like. But again, then what is LA Reid's role who is exec producing it?

One Heart One Voice (109,772) by T from USA Tommy Mottola commented on Barbra's latest IG post about the duets album (the picture with Walter A). I guess he wouldn't miss the chance to hear his former creations work. (Wednesday 16 July 2025; 18:18) this is a reply to message 109,771

This next chapter is about owning my narrative and creating freely on my own terms (109,769) by T from USA Interesting about Caution. And yet I find it her most tightest well put together album since Butterfly. Personally I like her albums where she had guidance. My worry is that if MC16 doesn't live up to her and Gamma's expectation she will once again say that her next one MC17 will be her most free and on her own terms she's ever made.

This next chapter is about owning my narrative and creating freely on my own terms (109,768) by Bobby A from United States I think when MC said that she was referring to how she felt about the rollout of Caution in this article. She disliked how the Epic AR executives rushed her to make Caution and the instant grats album rollout. (Wednesday 16 July 2025; 12:41)

This next chapter is about owning my narrative and creating freely on my own terms (109,767) by Zachariah from Croatia It would be great is she releases that. And even more if it would actually be good and a hit. I think people, who are not her hard core fans, would be pleasantly surprised.

This next chapter is about owning my narrative and creating freely on my own terms (109,766) by MusicfanJ from Germany I think the most freely record/project would be "Someone's ugly daughter". I wish it would be released as a bonus just for the fans. But I know what you mean. At the latest "Glitter" every album was indeed completely "free". We'll see what Mariah means with her new free album version. (Wednesday 16 July 2025; 11:06)

Article: Mariah Carey's "new era begins" with album out July 23 (109,763) by Bobby A from United States Sorry Randy, I got too excited with the results of my search to realize that was wrong release date. Another reason I was on cloud nine today is because Nostradamus on X confirmed that another Skrillex collaboration made it onto the final MC16 tracklist. Is The Distance one of your favorite Caution songs too? (Wednesday 16 July 2025; 01:03) this is a reply to message 109,758

Article: Mariah Carey's "new era begins" with album out July 23 (109,758) by Randy from USA Bobby A. Why'd you use that title? I got all excited like "wait, what did I miss?" But since you brought it up MIAMTEC came out May 27. The original release was July 23 the year before. And I'm glad you all like the album but for me it is her worse. I got it the day it came out and was more disappointed than I was when I lost my virginity. Caution was much better and is growing on me. I play GTFO constantly and even used it on my TikTok as the soundtrack for me quitting my last teaching job. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 20:42)

Album (109,762) by Tameka walker from United states How do you know that the album drops July 23? Just wondering. (Wednesday 16 July 2025; 00:33)

One Heart One Voice (109,751) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain After 2 weeks without listening to this song (I've been really busy), it doesn't seem bad at all to me. In fact, I think it's a beautiful song and very well done. Overall, Mariah is the most creative one in her vocals, but the most restricted of the three. Anyhow, maybe we were a little too critical of all of it when it came out. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 11:08)

IBLYLT & ISIL (109,754) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain You don't know how many times I used to play and sing along to "I'll Be Loving You Long Time" in the summer of 2008. I still do some times. It's a real pity that it wasn't promoted properly. It could have been a hit. And Mimi in the video, wow. By the way, I've always loved "I Stay in Love" as well. In fact, a dog of mine was called "Baby, I stay in love with you" (short version: "Baby") after the song because, when he was a puppy and I would sing that little part around him, he used to come to me. So that became his name, but in the singing mode. Lol. Everybody got amazed whenever I sang his name and he would appear from wherever. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 14:24)

IBLYLT & ISIL (109,759) by Lambi from USA Aww, a dog lamb. That's too freaking cute. I seriously love those songs too. I still play IBLYLT, Cruise Control, I'm That Chick and Migrate on a whim. It takes me right back to summer 2008, my friends and I would blast this record driving the beach strip, windows down. E=MC² had so many bops, it's stupid. I sometimes forget Mariah intended for it to be Emancipation to the second power. Didn't quite have the same success but hey, she was in love and trying to get a family started, so we'll let the missed potential slide. We all gotta live. Still such a fun, underrated era.

Article: Mariah Carey's "new era begins" with album out July 23 (109,756) by Bobby A from United States Just reminicsing about when MIAM came out 12 years ago. I was excited to walk into Target at 8am and purchase the deluxe version. Although, I thought the album title was too long, I was glad to have a new Mariah Carey album in my hands. I asked Google a question about MC16 and this old MCA article was shown for my question. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 16:49)

Visionof Love, The Bill of Rights (109,746) by Bobby A from United States Edward, I like your new photo. When MC releases MC16, I am going to add my photo again. Anyway, MC could sell millions if she released her demo tape on vinyl just as Tommy heard it for the first time. The CD version could be packaged with The First Vision home video on DVD. I wonder if any AR executive at Sony has thought about doing it. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 04:55)
