Mariah And Janet: The Return
Def Jam/ Island CEO Antonio 'LA' Reid jetted into London yesterday afternoon to present new releases from Ms Janet Jackson and Ms Mariah Carey.

Two of the world's most iconic have been busy squirreling in the studio and return with Jackson's Discipline and Carey's That Chick.

Reid identified both artists as having a whole lot of 'swagger' - before dropping a little dig to EMI. "That's a music company. Well, it used to be," he grinned before showcasing a bit more *****iness. Or truth, depending on your POV! "We realised that it would take some work with Janet after her last two EMI album weren't successful. Just like the last Mariah EMI album..."

Once that was done, it was on with the music. Reserving full opinion until we've had the chance to sit down properly with both records, we can however say that we think MC won out.

Janet seemed fairly ok - a couple of good club tracks - but otherwise somewhat generic uptempo and slow R&B numbers that sounded like they could have been off-cuts from All For You or Janet. And there was no need for Discipline. To put it bluntly, JJ apologises to her 'daddy' for 'touching herself' even though he 'commanded' her not to. 'But I can smell you on my sheets/ Daddy I disobeyed you, now come punish me...I've been bad, make me cry...' and so on and so on. Yuck.

Luckily, Mariah kept it a whole lot cleaner (but not squeaky, that would be dry!)

The first few tracks were big, but MC really hit hard with absolute banger Migrate featuring T-Pain. Oh my daze!!! "We sippin' Grigio slow," murmurs Mariah over some serious dirty south bounce. Not too sure about her dropping a bit of patois on the Damian Marley assisted Cruise Control ('Me say no man... tink I'm jokin'), but we'll forgive her such strangeness considering the tune packs heat.

Vocally and sonically, this is yet another outstanding release from the world's biggest selling superstar.

Watch out for a full review once the records are in for review...

Janet is out February 25 and Mariah drops April 1st.

Exclusive Review: Mariah's "That Chick" Is Out Of Control!
Last night in a central London hotel theatre, Def Jam head L.A Reid invited a very exclusive VIP audience to hear the new albums from both his 2 top divas Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey. With stringent rules laid down at the top of the evening about not leaving the room for a bathroom visit, handing over all gadgets and returning song word sheets we knew it was about to go down.

Beginning with Janet's new material which sees Janet reworking her old sounds from the days of Velvet Rope and Control, Janet's material was quite sexually overt and a little gross ("real heavy like my first period"!) but it was really Mariah's new material that blew everyone away.

Mariah's new album, tentatively titled That Chick, saw collaborations with T Pain, Young Jeezy and Damien Marley with production by her long time friend and producer Jermaine Dupri, Will I Am, Rodney Jerkins and The Dream.

The new music with catchier hooks and melodies than ever, even sees Mariah taking on an exciting new musical adventure where she sings in Jamaican patois on her Damien Marley duet "Cruise Control" where she references "dramas" and "baby mamas" and like your favorite rap star Mariah throws down a new Mariahism ("you love yourself some me!") soon as the album gets into the public domain.

Urban music lovers in the house were really excited about that track as well as hip-hop banger "Heat" produced by Will I Am, "For Real,For Real", and "Migrate" where 2007's hit man T Pain hooks up with Mariah but it was the title track "That Chick" with its double entendres which includes a tip of the hat to Michael Jackson with references to his "Of The Wall Classics" that had pop chart taste makers excited claiming it was the number 1 track on the album closely followed by likely international pop hit "Love You Long Time".

In typical Mariah fashion there were the legendary ballads "Love Story" and tear jerker "Bye Bye" (an ode to people who have passed away) that will have reality pop contestants singing away for decades to come!

One track titled "O.O.C" summed up the night and the return of Mariah - once the albums out it's gonna be "Out Of Control!".

To recap, here are the confirmed tracks from the new, tentatively-titled Mariah Carey album, That Chick:

• "Touch My Body"
• "Migrate" ft. T-Pain
• "Heat"
• "For Real, For Real"
• "That Chick"
• "Cruise Control" ft. Damien Marley
• "O.O.C"
• "Bye Bye"
• "Love Story"
• "Love You Long Time"

looks great for this albumm..
thanks voltron..
almost 3 years she didnt realese album...
western artist need long time to produce one album

[criminal]

That Chick? I'm sorry, but has she had another nervous breakdown? She's not some 20-something who's debut album could pass with a lackluster title like that. Whatever. Janet's lyrics sound so gross. =X But I don't know, I'mma listen to both.

[milky_way]

That Chick? Ugh. Why, Mariah? Why?

[Halla]

Mariah's album sounds promising. Emancipation of Mimi was an excellent album, I'm sure That Chick will be as hot. I'm pretty sure will see a special edtion of that album released afterwards so I'm not in any rush to get it

I'm looking forward to the Janet album too. shame about the gross "sexy" tracks tho. She's been having a few of these in each of her previous albums. They are always just very akward and not sexy at all , gross as hell is more like it

[Cyria]

The cover is kinda odd. It doesn't seem like she's standing straight, but there's no visible chair either. She should have chosen one of those instead of this in-between pose.

[criminal]

I just noticed that picture. She now defines the word "classy".

[Halla]

I don't think the pic included is the cover, that pic doesn't look very recent to me ...

I hope it's not the cover. It reminds me too much of TEoM.

[Foxxy_Fuyumi]

Wooa!
Hope is amazing as The Emancipation of Mimi!

[kotora]

That is not the cover of the album. It is just a promo picture of the new album

I think they both need to grow up and stop singing about "da club" and the stupid things that go on there. Such a waste of perfectly good talent. Those song titles sound like they're coming from an 18 year old.

[rikku411]

^ Is there something wrong with 18-year-olds, eh?

It has nothing to do with 'age', you can be any age and come out with titles that sound so empty and superficial.

In any case, I'll just wait to hear the songs before commenting. A track can have a horrible title and sound good, or vice-versa...

[TITANIC]

okay.
it's better if that pict isnt the cover because it reminds me to emantipation of mimi..

[cloud♥honey]

WAH TEH HELL IS THIS PICTURE? She looks fugly, old and fat-ass. Terrible. Well, I like her a lot. I'll check it out. Any leaked songs?

Two More Tracks from "That Chick"
Mariah Carey has set an April 1 release date for the follow-up to her mega-selling album "The Emancipation of Mimi," which was the biggest selling album of 2005. Dubbed "That Chick," the set features production from Jermaine Dupri, will.i.am and Rodney Jerkins, plus collaborations with the likes of T-Pain and Damian Marley.

The album veers between breezy pop tunes like "Lovin' You Long Time" and the title track, ballads like "Love Story" and urban club bangers like the standout "Migrate."

The latter features T-Pain in a guest slot, providing the counterpoint to Carey's anthemic "single girls on the town" lyrics with the killer line: "Don't wait for me to buy drinks, or you're going to dehydrate."

Other highlights include the frisky R&B of "Touch My Body," with Carey cooing, "If there's a camera up in here then I best not catch this flick on YouTube," and the catchy "OOC" -- short for "out of control." There's also a new sound for Carey on "Cruise Control," which features Marley and sees the artist try her hand at Jamaican patois.

"It's kind of strange but I heard a lot of her records and it sound like the album is better than the last album," Dupri recently told Billboard.

Here is the track list for "That Chick":

"Lovin' You Long Time"
"Touch My Body"
"That Chick"
"Thanx for Nothin'"
"For the Record"
"Migrate"
"Cruise Control"
"Love Story"
"OOC"
"Bye Bye"

Note: There are now 12 known tracks from the album - the list above plus the previously reported "For Real, For Real" and "Heat."
