E=MC²: NOT JUST PHYSICS

It is the eve of the release of Mariah Carey's 11th LP E=MC² and what can one feel but happiness to have Mimi back. It has been three years since her astounding comeback with the magnanimous Emancipation of Mimi album and again she is showing us her ability to compete and win in this evolving and increasingly paltry music world (whether you look at that as a compliment is entirely up to you).

Carey's first single off her new album is "every geeks dream" the playful and flirty Touch My Body. On April 3rd this single became her 18th number one single on the Billboard Top 100 making the songstress the artiste with the second most number ones in history surpassing Elvis Presley and just two number ones away from tying with The Beatles. This is indeed an accomplishment of which all Mariah fans are proud, the question now becomes when and not if Carey will surpass the Beatles and become the biggest hit-maker ever to walk the planet. It is with eagerness that we await her next few singles - to see if E=MC² will usher in the era of a new number one single holder on the charts. E=MC² features collaborations with Jermaine Dupri, Junior Gong (Damian Marley), Young Jeezy and of course T-Pain (kinda cliche isn't he?).

Carey says that E=MC² stands for the Emancipation of Mimi squared, speaking to her surpassing her previous album in further pursuit of freedom. Although dissociating it from Einstein's theory of relativity, I must say, MC does represent Energy in ways Einstein could only dream. MC is a musical elitist representing excitement and epic entertainment. Her vocal range and soulful tunes have an indelible mark on music and will continue to move us for years to come.
