Performer and songwriter Mariah Carey has set April 15th as the in-store date for the most eagerly anticipated album of the year, E=MC². The 11th studio album of her career, E=MC² is the follow-up to The Emancipation Of Mimi, Mariah's worldwide 10 million selling #1 album, which generated three Grammy awards (including Best Contemporary R&B Album), 2 #1 singles and countless more industry honors during its 18-month stay on the charts. The first single from E=MC² is 'Touch My Body,' written and produced by Mariah Carey, C. 'Tricky' Stewart, and The-Dream, and blasting out worldwide on February 12th. The video for 'Touch My Body' was directed by feature filmmaker Brett Ratner - Internet, cable and network premieres for the video will be announced in the weeks ahead. In addition to C. 'Tricky' Stewart and The-Dream, other guest producers joining Mariah on E=MC² will include Jermaine Dupri, DJ Toomp, Stargate, Will I Am, Bryan Michael Cox, Nate 'Danjahandz' Hills and James Poyser.. E=MC² is executive produced by Mariah Carey and Antonio 'LA' Reid, Chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group.
The Emancipation Of Mimi, released April 12, 2005, was an industry phenomenon for the mega-platinum award-winning superstar - Soundscan's biggest-selling album of the year, bringing total sales of Mariah's albums, singles and videos to more than 160 million worldwide, making her the most successful female recording artist in history. Mimi featured 'We Belong Together' (winner of the Best Female R&B Vocal and Best R&B Song Grammys) and 'Don't Forget About Us,' Mariah's 16th and 17th #1 career singles respectively. They tied one of the most enduring chart records in Billboard Hot 100 history, Elvis Presley's 17 #1's. Mariah is now positioned as the only active recording artist in the 48 years of the Hot 100 (which began in 1958) with the potential to surpass the Beatles' all-time high of 20 #1 hits.

Rating: - Sing to me mariah
Love this cd. I can see why she's #1. Keep on going Mariah!
Rating: - One of Mariah's best albums ever!
This may not be her best album vocally, and I assure you it is not, but as of soul, it's a terrific effort. The pop tracks have lyrics of a great depth, and they hardly ever bore you. My favorite track is Side Effects, a true invitation for women to cry out loud, and I'm sure they will, because like most of the successful tracks here, it invites you to feel something, to experience the vocals and the up/mid/slow tempo beat, and you do without a second thought. I recommend E=MC²! It's gripping.
Rating: - More Hip Hop
The best part of this album is the two free gifts that come with the album: a fold out poster and an iPod skin. There are a few songs I like in this album. Touch My Body, I Stay In Love, For the Record, and Bye Bye. But overall, it is just an average album to me since I am not too much into hip hop. It would be much better if Mariah would do more ballad songs like she did in the album Music Box, but I am still a huge MC fan no matter what so don't get me wrong!!!
Rating: - MC to the second power is a double dose of entertainment pow!
I got this as a gift and I am very glad I requested this CD because it rocks! Every song is awesome, the album is exceptionally well-written and amazingly produced. From the first high note of "Migrate" to the last chords of "I wish You Well", it's a lovefest for song after song and you just very feel privileged to be experiencing the genius of Mariah (and her collaborators) as they have brought you the best of what is original and current - just pure entertainment for the 21st century!
When I first got the album, "Cruise Control" was my favorite (after "Touch My Body" of course, which was the amazing 18th #1!) because of its laid-back reggae vibe and Mariah's cute accent, but then I changed to "For The Record" (if I had to pick one, though I still think one favorite is too hard to choose), which is so wonderfully constructed and a joy to listen to, over and over. The lyrics and music are so perfectly co-ordinated ... Read More
