Mariah Carey is making yet another comeback with her latest single “Touch My Body.” It’s the first single off her new album “E=MC2,” which will be released on April 15 by Island Records.
Her music has definitely evolved over the past decade, ever since she and former Colombia Records executive Tommy Mottola-who had a lot to do with Carey’s initial rise to fame-called it quits in 1998. The two met while working on her debut album.
After her separation from Mottola, Carey began to take more creative control over her music. She also went through an image change as she tip-toed her way into hip-hop with albums like “Butterfly,” “Rainbow,” “Charmbracelet” and her most recent, “The Emancipation of Mimi.”
But where has Mariah been the last three years? Fans waited eagerly for her to come out with something fresh. Then, on Feb. 19, “Touch My Body” hit the radio.
Though her new single reaches nowhere near the magnitude of her last singles, “We Belong Together” and “Don’t Forget About Us,” “Touch My Body” is still a hit in my book. It’s a sweet and sexy mid-tempo tune with a simple, monotonous beat hidden behind melodic vocals.
Though the title of the song is a bit salacious, the music video will have you chuckling because the message is so very different from the blatant “touch my body” message.
