UPDATE: Audio of “Up Out My Face” has been added after the jump!

Mimi pulled out all the stops last night during the first of four shows as a part of a limited engagement at the Pearl Theatre at the Palms Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. The three remaining shows are on September 12th, October 9th, and October 10th. The set list was a mixture of both old hits such as “Always Be My Baby,” “Honey,” “Obsessed,” and “We Belong Together,” and she debuted a few new songs off of Memoirs….

Mariah looked amazing! I’m totally loving the throwback curls and the more natural appearance she’s been rocking lately. One fan recorded her live performance of a brand new track called “Angels Cry.” From what I can tell she sounded great. I just can’t wait for this album!

Last week, Mariah’s 2nd single “I Want To Know What Love Is” leaked in poor sound quality. Today the final, mastered version of the song hit the net. There aren’t any major differences, however the song as a whole sounds a lot better. You can really hear the vocal details and things of that nature that really make the song great.

Mariah’s official first single was set to premiere later this week, but lucky for us it leaked early! “I Want to Know What Love Is” is a remake of the 80s classic originally performed by Foreigner. I knew that when it was time for Mimi to bring it that she would come and shut it down! She is singing her ass off. Period. Everything that Mariah has to offer is beautifully crafted into this song. The song has been described as a “powerhouse ballad” and I have to admit that I wasn’t sure what exactly to expect, but this blew me away. I can’t wait to hear this live because I know that she is going to bring it!

Get into this!
