Production history

Carey reportedly said she had been writing new songs while traveling on her latest tour.[citation needed] It was reported that Carey was recording her new album and booked a whole month in Anguilla's biggest villa and had a studio built in it.[4][5] R&B producer Bryan Michael Cox visited Anguilla and contributed four songs to the album.[citation needed] On February 1, 2008, a video of Carey and Jermaine Dupri during one of their late night studio recording sessions in Carey's TriBeCa triplex was posted on Carey's official website.[6] Carey stated in late 2007 that she was trying to choose from 22 tracks to put in the final album.[7]

Album title

Before the confirmation of the official title, the album was planned to be named That Chick, a reference to one of the album tracks.[8] The album name means "(E) Emancipation (=) equals (MC) Mariah Carey (²) to the second power". It is a play on Einstein's famous mass–energy equivalence formula and is the sequel to her 2005 album, The Emancipation of Mimi.[9]

Musical and lyrical content

The album's music appeals to a lot of genres such as pop, R&B, and hip hop, but some of her songs also include gospel and reggae beats.[10] She experiments for the first time with reggae tones on "Cruise Control"[8] and also uses a Jamaican patois during the second verse.[11] On "Side Effects" she speaks about her marriage to Tommy Mottola describing it as a "private hell", the "emotional abuse" she saw during this time and the side effects from which she still suffers. MTV's author Jennifer Vineyard said it's "like a rock power ballad" and compared the music style to that of Bonnie Tyler and Pat Benatar.[11] Two songs from the album sample melodies of other songs: one of them is the Seventies-soul-recalling[12] "I'm That Chick" which samples Michael Jackson's "Off the Wall". The other song is "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time", which samples DeBarge's "Stay with Me" and recalls the melodic riff of the "Hill Street Blues" theme music.[13][11] Her second single "Bye Bye" is about the loss of her father, Alfred Roy, who died of cancer in 2002, and his absence during her childhood. Although the lyrics of the song mostly seems to be personal, she tries to keep the topic universal, so that everybody "who just lost somebody" can refer to it.[11] The closing track "I Wish You Well" is a piano ballad kept simple with gospel influences. In the song she quotes some parts from the Bible.[11]

Critical reception

One of the major challenges of this album was a need for it to be of a consistent quality with her previous release[9], a record lauded by many critics.[14] So far the response towards the album has been relatively positive with a general body of opinion finding it to be a worthy successor to her previous album; The Emancipation of Mimi.[15]

Billboard stated "She's proclaimed emancipation before, but Mariah Carey's never sounded as free as she does on her 10th album." and described E=MC² as "a pop album with equal parts levity and gravity".[16] The Observer said that "each track is precision-tooled to sound as if it were born to be banging out of a Hummer in Miami on a sunny Saturday".[17] Plenty of critics agreed that her voice is still in a good condition, Fox News and RWD stating "Her infamous eight-octave range has suffered a little wear and tear over the years, but Carey still can flutter from great highs to mellow lows like no one else"[13] and "Vocally and sonically, this is yet another outstanding release from the world's biggest selling superstar",[18] respectively.

Some critics were not as enthusiastic and mainly criticized this album for trying to copy the songs from The Emancipation Of Mimi, while noting that Carey was not using the full range of her voice. Caryn Ganz, a Rolling Stone critic, found that "nearly every song confines Carey to four-note verses, offering little room for her glorious range" [12] and the LA Times said it's the "most striking" thing about the album, but they also characterized the album as "nearly a clone of The Emancipation of Mimi".[19] Bleu Magazine's critic, Adam Benjamin Irby, agreed and said that the ballads "are all trying desperately to recapture the magic that was 'We Belong Together' [...] Overall, these facsimiles aren't terrible, they're just boring and forgettable at this point".[9] In contrast to the Rolling Stone and the LA Times, MTV praised her voice on this album and said that Carey can "really sing [when she's] not focused on vocal gymnastics".[11] Jody Rosen shared the opinion, saying that she "has definitively been emancipated — from her need to decorate every damn song with more octaves than Maria Callas".[20]

Sales and impact

E=MC² debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 463,000 copies sold, making it the biggest opening week sales of her career. With six number one albums, Carey is now tied with Janet Jackson in the U.S. for the third most number one albums for a female artist, behind Madonna with seven and Barbra Streisand's eight chart toppers.[21] In its second week, the album topped the chart again with 182,000 copies sold.[22] E=MC² is Carey's first album to spend two straight weeks at #1 since 1995's Daydream.[23] The album has sold over 1,200,000 million copies in the United States[24] and was certified platinum by the RIAA on July 8, 2008.[25]

In Canada Album Chart, the album debuted at number 1, becoming the third number one album in Carey's career. The album sold 60,000 copies to date.[26]

On the UK Album Chart, it debuted at number three, selling 34,800 copies.[27] This was her highest peak position in the UK since Butterfly, which peaked at number two.[28] The album surpassed the 100,000 units sold and has been certified Gold. [29]

In the Philippines, the album reached Gold status selling over 15,000 copies in just eight days.[30] It already surpassed the 25,000 units to date.

It also received a Gold certification in Australia, where the album peaked at #2.[31].

On April 15, 2008, the same day the album was released, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa proclaimed April 15 officially as "Mariah Carey day" in Los Angeles. It was in part of celebrating Carey's eighteenth number-one single, "Touch My Body".[32] Also, from April 25 through April 27, 2008 the Empire State Building was lit up in Carey's motif colors—lavender, pink, and white — in celebration of her achievements in the world of music.[33]

The album was a worldwide success peaking at number 1 in United States, Canada, South Korea, Ecuador, Taiwan and Philippines. E=MC² was at the top 5 of countries like United Kingdom, Greece, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, Malaysia, Brazil, Switzerland and Cyprus.[34]

In European Top Albums, E=MC² was at the top 3. The album recorded the highest debut of the week of the pan-European album week, surpassing 300,000 units sold to date. That's one place higher than the start made by The Emancipation Of Mimi in April 2005. The album peaked at number 6 in France, at number 7 in Germany and at number 9 in Italy.[35]

The success spread up to Japan, where the album peaked at number 7, selling 150,000 physical units to date. In International Oricon Albums Chart, E=MC² remained for 2 weeks in first place. The album received Gold certification.[36]

The peak positions of Australia, Canada, Portugal, New Zealand, South Korea, Ireland, Sweden and Italy are higher in comparison with The Emancipation of Mimi album.[37]

The album has sold almost 2,500,000 million units around the world, with two Platinum certifications and 12 Gold certifications to date, according to Universal Music.[38][39]

Singles

"Touch My Body" was chosen as the lead single of the album. The song received positive reviews by music critics[40]— for example, Blender's critic called it a "pop genius making genius pop".[41] It was a moderate success internationally, peaking in the top twenty in most countries,[42] but was more successful in the U.S., where it entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number fifty-seven;[43] the song subsequently climbed to the top of the chart, becoming Carey's eighteenth number-one single on the chart, pushing her to second place among artists with the most number-one singles in the rock era and first place as a solo artist in the same category, surpassing Elvis Presley. The achievement was attributed to a record-breaking digital sales debut, as 286,000 copies were sold in its first week of availability.[44]

On Carey's official website, "Bye Bye" was announced as the second single from the album. The song premiered on radio on April 7, 2008[45] and peaked at number nineteen on the Billboard Hot 100.[46]

During her promotion in Japan, "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" was announced as her next single there and started charting on the Japan Hot 100.[47][48] The single was sent to U.S. radio stations on July 1, 2008 as the third single from the album. It reached number fifty eight on the Billboard Hot 100.[46].A remix for the song was made, featuring rapper T.I., and was officially released instead of the original version, the music video was shot for the remix only.

"I Stay in Love" is the fourth single and according to All Access the song is scheduled to go for adds at Top 40/Mainstream radio on October 21, 2008.[49][50]
