Album Notes U.K. edition adds an extra song.With the lofty title THE EMANCIPATION OF MIMI, it's clear that Mariah Carey wants listeners to know she's releasing an important record. Here she aims to reveal an aspect of herself that has previously been held back by career missteps and tabloid-worthy drama. It's refreshing, then, that 2005's EMANCIPATION returns the focus to Carey's remarkable voice, as the singer makes her most focused record in over a decade.Carey opens the album by exhibiting some of the most sincerely soulful vocals of her career on the one-two punch of the up-tempo "It's Like That" and the beautiful ballad "We Belong Together." Her able voice expertly complements both the hazy hip-hop of Snoop Dogg on "Say Somethin'" and the acrobatics of Twista on the dream-like "One and Only." In her early years, Carey would have adorned the latter track with vocal tricks to show off her five-octave voice, but she has wisely learned to rein in her frills. In fact, restraint is the key word on THE EMANCIPATION OF MIMI, a straightforward and satisfying pop-R&B collection. Editorial Reviews Entertainment Weekly | |||||||||||||

This albumn , I admit is not as good as some of the others ( Butterfly & rainbow )but still remarkable when you compare it to most of the other albumns in the charts. Mariah has the most amazing vocal ability and proves she is still as good if not better than the other divas trying to mimic her - ie leona lewis !! ha Best singles are Shake it off & we belong together, I should be your girl, but my fave is the duet say somethin with snoop. Id recomened this albumn to all , mariah fans will love this as the ballads are still there but mostly r& b which she excells in, but everyone should have a listen , A + .
