Press Reviews: "Almost Home" Posted by Jonny on Tuesday, 19-Feb-2013, 7:16PM EST
Less than 24 hours after its release, the press is already abuzz with positive reviews for Mariah's new single, "Almost Home." Check out some highlights below!
• E!: "If you've ever closed your eyes, clicked your heels and wished for more Mariah Carey, then you're in luck, because your musical prayers have been answered... The up-tempo track features Carey's signature powerhouse vocals and an electro-pop beat. The American Idoljudge belts out inspirational lyrics on the movie's musical anthem, perfectly paying homage to Dorothy and the classic tale." • Vibe: "Falsetto connoisseur Mariah Carey headlines the soundtrack for Disney's newest film Oz: The Great and The Powerful with the lighthearted track 'Almost Home. Co-written by Simone Porter, Justin Gray, Lindsey Ray and co-produced by Stargate, the 'Triumphant' songbird harmonizes the way she does best." • MTV: "Put on your best pair of ruby slippers, close your eyes and click your heels together because Mariah Carey is taking fans along for her trip to Oz. On Tuesday (February 19), she officially released 'Almost Home,' the lead tune off the Oz the Great and Powerful soundtrack. The up-tempo pop piece plants Carey right in the mythical land from the famed movie. It's weaved together by a bouncing beat and bright synths, as Carey's signature vocals soar over Stargate's sparkling production work." • Los Angeles Times: "Carey's new song, "Almost Home" -- it's tied to Disney's "Oz the Great and Powerful," scheduled for movie theaters next month -- feels like a return to that earlier time... the midtempo song seems entirely built around Carey's vocals, which arc upward until they crest in a key change that delivers the thrill we've grown to expect from her. It's an old-fashioned appeal to think of Carey anew." • Yahoo! Canada Music Blog: "Mariah's 2009 Eminem dis 'Obsessed' was her last top 10 hit. But her new song 'Almost Home' from the soundtrack of Oz The Great And Powerful will place her back on the top of the charts. Mariah understands how to keep her sound fresh and relevant better than possibly any other pop star with 20-plus years of hits. Though ''Almost Home' boasts Mariah's honey-laced multi-octave range, the song's true pop friendliness lies on the production from Stargate. The music shifts several times during its course, moving from a militaristic, uplifting mid-tempo to a gritty, knocking underground hip-hop track before settling on an easy EDM bed that Katy Perry would have loved. 'Almost Home'' essentially incorporates bits of Perry, Kelly Clarkson and the Black Eyed Peas without losing Mariah in the mix." • AOL Music Blog: "A movie as epic as Oz The Great and Powerful deserves an equally as memorable soundtrack. (Seriously, James Franco is playing the famous wizard!) Luckily, Mariah Carey delivers. 'Almost Home,' a song from the upcoming film, kicks off with a thumping beat as powerful as Mimi's vocals. The Stargate-produced track is the quintessential movie anthem, underscoring the timeless Wizard of Oz quest to go home." • Popcrush: "The song is a return to form for the multi-octave diva. "Almost Home" sounds like a Carey track from the days of yore - her 90's heyday - in the best way. With a Stargate-produced beat, the song sounds like it''d fit right in on Carey's pop classics Music Box and Daydream. The upbeat song relies on Carey’s unrivaled gifts of melody, harmony and power instead of attempting to attain street cred with guest rappers, and it's where she shines brightest. The track starts out with a more R&B vibe in the verses, then morphs into a poppier tune for the choruses. The song has a motivational message akin to Carey's unstoppable ballad 'Hero,' but combines it with an upbeat, uptempo track." • Neon Limelight: "Mariah Carey is back and serving up major vocals on her new single, 'Almost Home.' The Grammy-winning diva and American Idol judge belts to the high heavens on the mid-tempo pop track, the first single from the soundtrack to Disney's Oz: The Great and Powerful." • Hollywood Gossip: "Remember when Mariah Carey was just a singer? One of the all-time greats, at that? Well, she reminds us of this with her latest release, entitled ''Almost Home.' The song, which is tied to the new film Oz the Great and Powerful, feels like a return to the Mariah of old, with electro-pop precision backing up her soaring vocals. The mid-tempo track may not go down as one of her biggest hits, but it's indicative of the unique vocal talent she possesses, and what her fans now expect."

I played it a few times now, and I just think this song is near perfection for a Mariah song. It's no ABMB or WBT, but it's close.
I think the dance mixes will be OOC for sure. Especially with that key change.
AC, CHR, rhythmic, HAC, dance/club play.... I can see this charting on all of the above. Hopefully simultaneously (a la We Belong Together).

Not a fan, but I am curious as to how this will do at radio due to her age etc.

I think this song will go down as a great song. But I have no idea if it will be a hit. It sounds so much like a throwback to the 90s to me. Maybe because it's Mariah? But it really resonates with me personally.

I called in yesterday to request and the guy was like "ugh, sure".. they have some vendetta against her I swear.. It's because she had a falling out with Elvis of Z100. They didn't even play "We Belong Together" until it was already a giant hit.

Just a note: Refrain from bombarding stations with requests, as they are keen to hardcore-fan activities like that.
If AH peaks in the top 40 on Hot 100 Airplay, that would be decent.
No. 55 on U.S. iTunes.

Re: Z100. They'll play the song if people want to hear it, just like any other radio station. The Elvis thing happened in 2008 and they still played "Obsessed" in 2009 and their support, if you recall, actually helped that song crack the top 10 on the Hot 100 after weeks of bouncing around the 11-15 range.
The comments I'm seeing on this board about this song actually remind me of when WBT came out in 2005. I'm not saying this song is as good or will become a big hit. The consensus here and in the reviews she's been getting seems to be that this is a good song. We're not sure of its hit potential, but we weren't sure of WBT's back in '05 either and look what happened. No single she's released since then has gotten the kind of positive response out of the gate. Who knows if it'll translate into it being a hit, but it's a solid start.
