Mariah Carey
“Obsessed”
★★★☆
By Nicole Frehsee, Rolling StoneOn the first single from her forthcoming album, Mimi dogs a dude (Eminem?) who’s “lying that [he's] sexing [her],” unleashing zingers like “I can see right through you, like you’re bathing in Windex” over dark and creeping synths. (She also attacks his bank account: “You’re a mom-and-pop; I’m a corporation.” Ouch!) Produced by The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, the cut doesn’t show off Mariah’s fab pipes – Auto-Tuned coos are subdued in for those high C’s – but it’s the catchiest anti-stalking anthem of the summer.

Jay-Z may have declared AutoTune dead, but Mariah Carey just revived it. On the debut single from her 12th studio album (”Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel,” due Aug. 25 on Island Def Jam), the singer who needs no vocal manipulation uses the effect with startling success. The key is making it look easy. Along with the-Dream and C. “Tricky” Stewart, Carey has crafted a gem of a diss record that coasts, even over its sputtering moans and synth jabs. One questionable Windex analogy aside, her lyrical boasts are biting and funny, and the syrupy lightness of her vocals is tailor-made for the ribbing she gives her mystery pursuant (reportedly Eminem). Though some lament Carey trading in her sky-high notes and ballads for a more constrained, R&B-friendly range, the singer has clearly found a new comfort zone that could very well produce her 19th No. 1 hit.

Thank you so much B for doing this!!!!
Makes me love you even more.
Are their any bi-racial people here who have heard MC’s song “outside” of off the Butterfly album? It is the MC song that means the most to me. That song solidified my love for her.
