Love Muffins, I am so excited! The wait is finally over and the diva of all diva’s is back with E=MC², the follow up to her multi-platinum, Emancipation. Mimi brings the heat with her 11th studio album. Not unlike Emancipation, E=MC² finds Carey stacking the deck with the hottest producers and guest artists in urban music (Jermaine Dupri, StarGate, T-Pain, Damian Marley, Young Jeezy). The result is a extremely enjoyable mix of flirtatious club jams, mid-tempo love songs, and emotional ballads anchored by hip-hop beats that perfectly showcase the singer’s powerful vocal chops.

One track that I absolutely adore is “Last Kiss,” here she reunites with Dupri to recapture the passionate splendor of 2005’s ”We Belong Together.” The golden-throated diva has discovered a formula that works to which; I say that if it ain’t broke than don’t fix it! Mimi will definitely have you on the dance floor doing the paw-paw to her club bangers, ”O.O.C.” and “That Chick,” which, for all of their pop polish, never lose their soulful spirit. For an artist whose career was all but dead four years ago, Mariah proves she is a Phoenix who’s risen from the ashes. Love Muffins be sure to pick up your copy of E=MC² in stores today!

Take me higher lord, literally! Love muffins check out my Mimi delivering a live crowd-rousing performance of her inspirational “Fly Like A Bird” at Idol Gives Back tonight! Honestly, this has to be one of Mimi’s best live vocal performances in years and in my opinion better than her 2006 Grammy performance of the song! Well done Mariah, well done! Now the haters have to find something else to say about my Mimi because the voice is so still there, it was so live and she looked so splendiferous! Love muffins, Mimi just unleashed her best vocal performance in recent memory on the most important promotional platform for her new album E=MC² – she just insured herself another top-selling album by nailing that one performance! (B. Scott clapping for the diva of all divas!)
