Untitled

E=MC² is the eleventh studio album by American pop/R&B singer Mariah Carey. The album was released on April 15, 2008 in the United States.[3] It debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 with 463,000 copies sold, making it the biggest opening week sales of her career[4]. The first single from the album, "Touch My Body", reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, surpassing Elvis Presley for the most number one singles for a solo artist. Other singles include "Bye Bye", "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time", and "I Stay in Love".

Production history

Carey reportedly said she had been writing new songs while traveling on her latest tour.[citation needed] Carey recorded the album in her TriBeCa triplex[5] and in Anguilla. In May 2007, she booked the island's biggest villa which had a studio built in it for a whole month.[6][7] R&B producer Bryan Michael Cox visited Anguilla and contributed four songs to the album.[citation needed] Carey stated in late 2007 that she was trying to choose from 22 tracks to put in the final album.[8]

Album title

Before the confirmation of the official title, the album was planned to be named That Chick, a reference to one of the album tracks.[9] The album name means "(E) Emancipation (=) of (MC) Mariah Carey (²) to the second power". It is a play on Einstein's famous mass–energy equivalence formula and is the sequel to her 2005 album, The Emancipation of Mimi.[10]

Musical and lyrical content

— Mariah Carey[11]

The album's music appeals to a lot of genres such as pop, R&B, and hip hop, but some of her songs also include gospel and reggae beats.[12]

Most uptempo songs on the album feature Southern hip-hop characteristics. Like the opening track on The Emancipation of Mimi, "Migrate" is a club banger and "sees Mariah posturing as guys try to get with her and girls envy her".[13] Musically in the same vein is the song "Side Effects"[13] in which she speaks about her marriage to Tommy Mottola describing it as a "private hell", the "emotional abuse" she saw during this time and the side effects from which she still suffers. MTV's author Jennifer Vineyard said it's "like a rock power ballad" and compared the music style to that of Bonnie Tyler and Pat Benatar.[14]

The next two songs mostly stick to the Southern formula too[13]: Her second single "Bye Bye" is about the loss of her father, Alfred Roy, who died of cancer in 2002, and his absence during her childhood. Although the lyrics of the song mostly seems to be personal, she tries to keep the topic universal, so that everybody "who just lost somebody" can relate to it.[14] She experiments for the first time with reggae tones on "Cruise Control"[9] and also uses a Jamaican patois during the second verse.[14] Patrick Rivers, a CUNY The Advocate reviewer, distinguished it from the other tracks and said[13]:

The appeal of this track is its rhythms, which find a common ground between Southern hip-hop and reggae, as one hi-hat pattern evokes the offbeat rhythm that is usually “skanked” by a guitar in reggae another hi-hat plays the pronounced high-paced sixteenth-note patterns of Southern rap beats

Two songs from the album sample melodies of other songs: one of them is the Seventies-soul-recalling[15] "I'm That Chick" which samples Michael Jackson's "Off the Wall". The other song is "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time", which samples DeBarge's "Stay with Me" and recalls the melodic riff of the "Hill Street Blues" theme music.[16][14] The closing track "I Wish You Well" is a piano ballad kept simple with gospel influences. In the song she quotes some parts from the Bible.[14]

Critical reception

One of the major challenges of this album was a need for it to be of a consistent quality with her previous release[10], a record lauded by many critics.[17] So far the response towards the album has been relatively positive with a general body of opinion finding it to be a worthy successor to her previous album The Emancipation of Mimi.[18]

Billboard stated "She's proclaimed emancipation before, but Mariah Carey's never sounded as free as she does on her 10th album." and described E=MC² as "a pop album with equal parts levity and gravity".[19] The Observer said that "each track is precision-tooled to sound as if it were born to be banging out of a Hummer in Miami on a sunny Saturday".[20] Plenty of critics agreed that her voice is still in a good condition, Fox News and RWD stating "Her infamous eight-octave range has suffered a little wear and tear over the years, but Carey still can flutter from great highs to mellow lows like no one else"[16] and "Vocally and sonically, this is yet another outstanding release from the world's biggest selling superstar",[21] respectively.

Some critics were not as enthusiastic and mainly criticized this album for trying to copy the songs from The Emancipation Of Mimi, while noting that Carey was not using the full range of her voice. Caryn Ganz, a Rolling Stone critic, found that "nearly every song confines Carey to four-note verses, offering little room for her glorious range" [15] and the LA Times said it's the "most striking" thing about the album, but they also characterized the album as "nearly a clone of The Emancipation of Mimi".[22] Bleu Magazine's critic, Adam Benjamin Irby, agreed and said that the ballads "are all trying desperately to recapture the magic that was 'We Belong Together' [...] Overall, these facsimiles aren't terrible, they're just boring and forgettable at this point".[10] In contrast to the Rolling Stone and the LA Times, MTV praised her voice on this album and said that Carey can "really sing [when she's] not focused on vocal gymnastics".[14] Jody Rosen shared the opinion, saying that she "has definitively been emancipated — from her need to decorate every damn song with more octaves than Maria Callas".[23]

Year-end list entries

Awards and nominations

The album was nominated for Favorite Soul/R&B Album at the 2008 American Music Awards.[30] E=MC² was the Album of the Year at the 2008 Word Music Awards.[31] At the 2009 Female Icon Awards, Carey won in the category Music Album of the Year for E=MC².

Sales and impact

E=MC² debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 463,000 copies sold, making it the biggest opening week sales of her career. With six number one albums, Carey is now tied with Janet Jackson in the U.S. for the third most number one albums for a female artist, behind Madonna with seven and Barbra Streisand's eight chart toppers.[32] In its second week, the album topped the chart again with 182,000 copies sold.[33] E=MC² is Carey's first album to spend two straight weeks at #1 since 1995's Daydream.[34] The album topped the Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart.[35] The album sold 1.2 million copies in the U.S. and was certified Platinum by the RIAA on July 8, 2008.[36][37]

In Canada, the album has shipped over 100,000 copies and was certified platinum[38], and also debuted at number one, becoming her third number one album.[39] On the UK Albums Chart, it debuted at number three, selling 34,800 copies.[40] This was her highest peak position in the UK since Butterfly, which peaked at number two.[41] The album surpassed the 100,000 units shipped and has been certified Gold. [42] In the Philippines, the album reached Gold status selling over 15,000 copies in just eight days.[43] It also received a Gold certification in Australia, where the album peaked at #2.[44]. In European Top Albums, E=MC² debuted and peaked at number three recording the highest debut of the week. That's one place higher than the start made by The Emancipation Of Mimi in April 2005. The album peaked at number six in France and sold more than 40,000 units.[45] The album peaked at number seven in Germany and at number nine in Italy.[46] In Japan, the album peaked at #7 on the Oricon Overall Chart, with 36,631 copies sold in the opening week. In its second week the album sold 21,295 units and in its third week sold 17,755 copies. The album has sold 150,000 units to date.[47][48] In International Oricon Albums Chart, E=MC² remained for two weeks at #1. The album received Gold certification there.[49] In Russia, the album has been certified Gold for having exceeded the 10,000 units sold.[50]

The album has surpassed 2.5 million copies sold worldwide.[51]

On April 15, 2008, the same day the album was released, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa proclaimed April 15 officially as "Mariah Carey day" in Los Angeles. It was in part of celebrating Carey's eighteenth number-one single, "Touch My Body".[52] Also, from April 25 through April 27, 2008 the Empire State Building was lit up in Carey's motif colors—lavender, pink, and white — in celebration of her achievements in the world of music.[53]

Singles

  • "Touch My Body" became the lead single of the album and received positive reviews by music critics[54]— for example, Blender's critic called it a "pop genius making genius pop".[55] It was a moderate success internationally, peaking in the top twenty in most countries,[56] but was more successful in the U.S., where it entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number fifty-seven;[57] the song subsequently climbed to the top of the chart, becoming Carey's eighteenth number-one single on the chart, pushing her to second place among artists with the most number-one singles in the rock era and first place as a solo artist in the same category, surpassing Elvis Presley. The achievement was attributed to a record-breaking digital sales debut, as 286,000 copies were sold in its first week of availability.[58].
  • "Bye Bye" was announced as the second single from the album. The song premiered on radio on April 7, 2008[59]. It peaked inside the top twenty on the Billboard Hot 100 at number nineteen.[60].
  • While Carey was promoting the album in Japan, "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" was announced as the third single and started charting on the Japan Hot 100 [61][62]. The single was sent to U.S. radio stations on July 1, 2008 as the third single from the album. It peaked at number fifty eight on the Billboard Hot 100[60].
  • "I Stay in Love" impacted U.S. Top 40/Mainstream and Rhythm/Crossover radio on October 28, 2008 as the fourth single.[66][67][68] The song peaked at #94 on the Billboard Pop 100.[69]
