Name: Robert-Anthony
Country: United States
I have been a Lamb since 1990. I know Mariah. I love her music. I breathe her music.
Ben Margulies (103,461) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Wednesday 13 September 2023; 00:26)
The Music Box 30th anniversary has stirred up in me a lot reminiscing about MC's remarkable career. I am wondering how a 2023 Ben Margulies collaboration would sound today. I am hoping there are some more Ben collaborations in the vault. He is in the same class of producers and songwriters that MC never worked with again after her debut - Ric Wake, Rhett Lawrence and Narada Michael Walden.

Crybaby (103,450) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Tuesday 12 September 2023; 05:31)
Crybaby was genius Mariah at her best. It has elements of hip hop, R&B, New Jack, and jazz all in one song. What other contemporary female artist has done that multiple times over. She doesn't receive enough credit for being a damn good songwriter. Her vocal acrobats and diva persona cause her songwriting skills to take a back seat sometimes. Timmy Gatling's creative differences with Aaron Hall of Guy brought me here because MC had the same creative differences.with Sony over Crybaby's release. It's ironic that one of the songwriters had creative differences over Piece Of Love that Crybaby samples.

Taking care of herself (103,449) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Tuesday 12 September 2023; 04:38)
I am predicting that MC is planning a new album in 2024. She is taking this time get her voice back to at least E=MC2 or Memoirs eras. I would be happy if she can.

AYNAF Extended Version (103,432) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Monday 11 September 2023; 04:39)
This is the gospel version that never made it on the album. This version was probably recorded first. Then one day in the studio she realized it was too gospel for the album. Tommy probably helped her decide too. Music Box the album is a very orchestrated piece of art. The mixes and song choices were carefully thought about to make a cohesive album. This is really why every song flowed into each other like a woven piece of cloth. It's not by coincidence that Music Box is her biggest selling album. Tommy was not going to let MC's third album be subjected to the criticism and low sales like Emotions.

Music Box - 30th anniversary (103,425) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Sunday 10 September 2023; 23:21)
It really did feel good last week with announcement. It was a kid getting a new toy on Christmas day. MC spoiled us with a new album every two years in the 90s. We are not accustomed to long periods of time between albums.

MB30 (103,417) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Sunday 10 September 2023; 14:38)
Randy, I was hoping that you would like My Prayer. After you mentioned getting your DJ friend to remix Right To Dream, I found a remix version on SoundCloud that is horrible. It's Def Club meets heavy metal. There were so many screeching sounds that Dee Snider would have disapproved. Lol. Google Right To Dream remix and it will show up in the listing.

Workin Hard x My Prayer x All I Live For x Hero 09 (103,409) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Sunday 10 September 2023; 06:21)
Maybe All I Live For Extended Version was intended for The Rarities, but MC wanted to save it to open up MB30. It just amazes me how she works her magic regarding her phrasing, vocals, lyrics, and sequencing. She is always on point with all four and always amazes us with them. No wonder she and Walter A. worked so well together. I wish they would reconcile at least to produce an album of reimagined or extended mixes of their best work together. My fingers are crossed and praying for it to happen soon.

Tommy's thoughts about MC30 (103,408) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Sunday 10 September 2023; 05:56)
I was thinking today after looking at the album cover Mariah Carey. What are Tommy's thoughts in 2023 about MC's remarkable career? Does he have any regrets about how he kept such tight reins on MC? Does he have any regrets about marrrying MC? Was he trying too hard to mirror the record label executive relationship that Clive Davis and Whitney Houston had? Whatever he was trying to mirror worked extremely well until the music relationship became a physical relationship. I think the Emotions and Music Box albums were all about that physical relationship. The evidence is substantially real in Emotions, So Blessed, Music Box, Now That I Know, and I've Been Thinking About You. They were all about Tommy.

Hey Billy. Amazon and other independent record stores are able to pre-order 3cd and 4LP vinyl for fans for a February 24, 2024 release date which is supposedly a February Record Store Day. Check with your local independent record store. They've been sent ordering information from the wholesalers.

Working Hard (Terry Hunter Remix) (103,395) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Saturday 9 September 2023; 20:41)
It sort of reminds me how the David Morales club remixes start out with a fast beat with MC's ad libs and humming to let you know the vocals are going to be on fire. How we get the WH remix to the top of the dance chart?

Music Box acapella is just beautiful. It has always been one of my favorite tracks on MB. All of the tracks on disc 2 really flow very well together.

Does anyone know the backstory how this dynamic duo came to work with MC? I believe MC was looking for a producer to give her some uptempo hits for her second album.

MC just tweeted the disc one tracklisting. You were right about EFA, Bill. Music Box will now get a proper ending for U.S. fans. I will be finding out tomorrow from Grimey's Record store in Nashville if the 3CD will be released to retailers Friday. I am just hoping it has been kept in warehouses all summer.

Working Hard remix snippet? (103,328) by Robert-Anthony from United States

It definitely sounds like the original is a Civilles and Cole production. She has been working in that vault all summer.

Go check out MC's Twitter page. She just released the tracklisting for disc 2. There is another new song called Workin Hard along with an extended version of All I Live For and an IBTAY remix. Disc 2 is 15 tracks. This MB 30th is better than The Rarities.

My Prayer - The Platters (103,313) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Tuesday 5 September 2023; 01:17)
Great post Pedro. My Prayer was a #1 hit on Billboard Top 100 and R&B charts in 1956. Glenn Miller and The Ink Spots covered it too. I did some investigated work myself and found one fan on PulseMariah said that it makes sense that My Prayer has not been registered in MC's name since she is not the writer for My Prayer. And it makes sense for 2.50 song length. It is very typical for songs in the 50s and 60s to be less than 3 minutes. I am really excited now.

This theory makes better sense than mine. Does iTunes and Amazon update their websites with the tracklisting for upcoming Friday releases every Tuesday?
