Mariah Needs To Re-Think "E=MC2"


Mariah Carey released her 10th studio album "E=MC2" back in April 2008 and it has not been very successful. The three singles that have been released thus far have all been mediocre.

First single "Touch My Body" was a sad excuse for a lead single, "Bye Bye", the second single was another sad attempt to profit of the much better "We Belong Together" from the previous album. Third single "I'll Be Lovin U Long Time" was an album cut, not good enough for a single release and Mariah new that, that is why she recorded a radio version with rapper T.I. yet the track was the least successful of the bunch.

Well, what is Mariah to do? The album has many tracks that could have been great singles but her label decided other wise. Five tracks come to mind when thinking of 'single material' "Migrate", "Side Effects", "Cruise Control", "I Stay In Love" and "O.O.C.".

All those songs would have been amazing, if they would have been released instead. Here is what I would have released if the decision was up to moi:

1st Single = Migrate [With/ T-Pain]
2nd Single = I Stay In Love
3rd Single = O.O.C.
4th Single = Side Effects [W/ Young Jeezy]
5th Single = Cruise Control [W/ Damien Marley]

We can only hope that the 4th single will be one of these tracks.
