Another album cut off The Emancipation of Mimi. Mariah wrote this with longtime collaborator James Wright and recorded it with a live band.
Mariah on "I Wish You Knew":
The spoken section and pristine, high whistle coming in afterwards are everything. I adore this song. All those soulful tracks on that album are brilliant.
It was performed live on The Adventures of Mimi tour in 2006.

I like it, but it's one of my least favorites on that album.

One of my least favorites as well. It was a failed "Fly Like A Bird" / "Vanishing" hybrid that lacked melody. It's not a bad song it's that she rambles with no melody. Good vocals though.

Caviar gurl... this thread is about "I Wish You Knew," not "I Wish You Well".

I love it. Not as much as "Circles" and "Mine Again," but it's still good.

The spoken parts sound identical to Alysha Keys

I love this kind of old school R&B tracks from Mimi.

Good album track, great vocals. I love the spoken parts, very Miss Ross indeed.
