Sigh... at the Gold Coast Convention Centre feeling nostalgic... work conference is no fun, wish it were MC! Or at least had her album to listen to on the way down.
Loooovvvveee the Japan cover! It's my favourite!

So, now that the Japanese version will be released at Target in the US, who's ordering it?
I wish Target Australia followed the US in terms of exclusives - it would've made our lives much easier, haha!

I will definitely be ordering the Target version whenever pre-orders become available. Should be cheaper than buying it from Japan.
Can you believe we'll own the album next Friday? So exciting!

Does anybody know if the American Today show is broadcasted in Australia? I know Good Morning America is but not sure about Today.

Cry - Gospel, good vocal, very nice, good opener.
Faded - r&b, good melody, dat ending.
Dedicated - I don't know what genre this is, hip-hop? Crunk beat though.
Beautiful - You know how this goes.
Thirsty - You know this too.
Make It Look Good - DAMN, this is fresh and different, not like anything she's done before. Again, I can't put a genre on it. Favourite new song so far. I want to rewind and play again.
You're Mine - Yeah..
You Don't Know What To Do - Epic. Most single-worthy song so far.
Supernatural - Naw, the kids are so cute. Ode to her kids. Most impressive vocals so far (from Mariah LOL).
Metoerite - Maybe it's a grower??
Camouflage - Beautiful song. Nice gospel moments.
One More Try - Wow, 6 minutes long. I'm can't work out what it's about, but it's nice.
Heavenly - The usual inspirational song.
Standouts after first listen imo: Cry, You Don't Know What To Do, Make It Look Good, Camouflage, Beautiful, Faded

Loving this album so far!!! Faves for me at the moment (but not by much) are Cry, Dedicated, Make it Look Good ( LOVE THIS SO MUCH!), and my girls love Supernatural of course, they both giggle and smile and sing along with dembabies. I am annoyed there aren't any lyrics in the booklet though! Is there a link to all the lyrics anywhere that I can print off?

Not that I know of Brooke. My opinion is that there are no lyrics due to the time constraints. Mariah handed the album in without much lead in time, if there were lyrics the booklet would have been thicker which would have taken longer to manufacture.
That's the only thing I can think of as to why there are no lyrics. This is the type of album where you NEED lyrics.

Gday guys - how have u all been??
Wow - I've been listening to this entire album on repeat three times now - any news on sales info yet??
Is it just me or did beautiful, your mine and art of letting go sound better when listening to the album as a whole??
SINGLES THAT NEED TO BE RELEASED (& my fav lol)
Make it look good - can't stop thinking of this song. Has such a refreshing yet old retro throw back to it
You don't know what to do - totally agree that this is such a great jam.
Cry - this song grows on me more and more. Definitely old school Mariah - enough said.
POTENTIAL SINGLES
Meteorite - another song that at first left me thinking wtf and now loving it more with each listen. I could imagine this song benefiting with a really good remix to make it even better. I actually love the meaning of this song. I thought she would really belt out the chorus but I'm thinking she deliberately restrained it to keep it house music / disco cool.....she does start getting a bit more full on towards the end but is showing restraint
Dedicated - I really love this silky smooth rnb feel of it - luv luv luv luv luv this r & B tune. I would personally luv to see this released. Nas is fantastic
One More Try - I really luv this song.....actually it should be hands down a 4/5/6th single lol
Money - I luv the beat to it. Kind of like Ariana's problem song where there is a great feature instrument repeat hook
Collectively as an album - I'm quite shocked actually. I thought it would be good but not THIS GOOD. I have a feeling that it may overtake daydream for me (or equal) and reach #2 as my all time fav album..... however this is fresh so time will tell. I think this is better than TEOM and her best since Butterfly (but doesn't beat it)......def top 3 a the moment. Regardless - this album compliments her catalogue. This is proof that she can continue to produce quality music after so long in the business. VERY VERY VERY happy lamb at the moment!!
My only fear is that they f**k up the single choices like they did with E=MC2 (damn not releasing side effects at least) and MOAIM (would luv It's a wrap to be released still lol).

I was pleasantly surprised to find most deluxe copies of the album has sold out, also question why most stores would prefer to stock the standard version over the deluxe. There's a lot less stores to walk around and check thesedays given it's just JB and Sanity, boy a lot has changed since Mariah last released an album in the physical music world.

#5 on debut. Do we happen to know how many copies were shifted? I'm programmed to automatically look at Tim for a response.
