Sounds like virtually every Mariah midtempo or ballad starting with WBT. Interesting. I just hope that doesn't mean it's a whisperfest until the end. Similar descriptions were given for her song with Tony Benet and particularly "I'm That Chick" (in regards to not sounding like her). Obviously the major difference is that it's so "pop." Were there any comparisons made?

Sounds like virtually every Mariah midtempo or ballad starting with WBT Minus the bridge, and modulation, and slow/low start. I'm just talking about technique. I should've said since CB. WBT doesn't really apply at all. A few of the ballad midtempos don't have bridges. But it's basically her whispering or starting in a low whisper throughout the first verse, a catchy bridge, a catchy chorus, sometimes whispered, sometimes sung subtly, a catchy middle 8, and thunderous belting adlibs. I'm still curious, though. I just hope it's less TTR, BOTHB, IWKWLI, etc. But we should take these descriptions with a huge grain of salt, per usual. Unless you're a stan that understands tempo or a music critic with a good ear, the person probably sucks at describing a Mariah song. We already have B.Soctt telling us it's a big distinct Mariah vocal, this review telling us it starts out "low/slow" and she's unrecognizeable, one writer saying it's certainly not a ballad, but a feel-good midtempo, another writer saying it's definitely a midtempo ballad, and probably a hairdresser that's telling people on FOMM that it's an uptempo urban banger and the best song she's ever recorded. Based on the fact that it's produced by Stargate and a songwriter that sounds like Colbie Calliat or Sara Bareilles one moment ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuGfi-HbOtM) and Ke$ha another ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzC43mTgskw; www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oqFFrBdjqc), I have a feeling we're in for quite a shock...I also have a feeling it will be polarizing, but in a completely different way than Triumphant.

Does he mean strip clubs or something? I'm confused since EDM (grr) is usually the kind of music most associated with clubs, lol.

For the clubs, eh? My hope would be that he give her some kinda 2013 Migrate (well the feel of that song anyway). A 2013 JD club song is probably still more in the vein of It's Like That than Migrate though.

His idea of Urban Club is sampling an R&B hit from the 80's or 90's (GYN, H8U Rmx) and not really changing a damn thing.

Also, wasn't he just bitching about how she wanted to do urban club and he wanted her to do ballads because that's what he knew the fans wanted to hear? It seems like he's pulling the same s**t on her as he did to Usher when he found out he wasn't exec. producing Usher's album post-Confessions.

Ash UK @ukash According to a friend, who went to a preview of Disney's "OZ: The Great & Powerful" #AlmostHome is a powerful pop comtemporary ballad!
Ash UK @ukash "Disney to the core... A strong message, lyrically sound! Potential to become a timeless Disney classic depending on how the movie does."
Since there are so many liars out there, I don't believe until I hear the song. ;)

Wow...definitely a different sound for Mariah, in a good way. Granted, it's only 23 or so seconds of the song, but the vocals sound awesome. I guess it's midtempo, only because I'd call it neither up tempo nor ballad, but it'll be considered a ballad I guess...it probably starts off softer. It almost has a bit of a rock edge to it! Certainly nothing like Triumphant.

New Album Song Title: "You're Mine" Posted by Jonny on Saturday, 16-Feb-2013, 4:19PM EST MariahDailyJournal has learned the title of a new track from Mariah's upcoming album: "You're Mine."
The song is described as an early favorite from her team; sounding like what "Stay The Night" was to the The Emancipation of Mimi and "Cruise Control" was to e=mc². It is unknown at this time if "You're Mine" will be a single. Source: Ritcher
I'm getting excited!!! Though I'm very curious as to what a baby between "stay the night" and "cruise control" would sound like... They are very different songs but nonetheless IM EXCITED!!!
