Mariah Carey doesn’t disappoint with her latest release, E=MC², which is living on the album and singles chart. Her eleventh album of her career, Mariah proves that you can have career longevity and still be contemporary. This may be one of her best albums of her career, written and produced by Mariah, C. “Tricky” Stewart and The-Dream, with special guests including Jermaine Dupri, DJ Toomp, Stargate, Will I Am, Bryan Michael Cox, Nate “Danjahandz” James Poyser. Mariah has created the Mariah Sound, a nice blend of pop, R&B and hip hop that keeps her on the pulse and setting the standard for everyone else in the music industry.
