Rate Mariah Carey’s Latest Atlanta Creation
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The first release from Mariah Carey’s upcoming CD, “E=MC”, hits radio stations this week.
And like previous singles from the superstar - “We Belong Together,” for example - it is produced by hometown talent. Atlantans Christopher “Tricky” Stewart and The Dream - the team behind recent Grammy winner “Umbrella,” by Rihanna - crafted Carey’s “Touch My Body.” (Plus local songwriter-producers Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox and DJ Toomp contributed to the album, due in stores April 15, as well.)
Hear “Touch My Body” here. Then tell us what you think.

When Mariah first came out (Vision of Love), her voice was beautiful. But now, she’s just another in a long list of pop-tarts that grace the charts. Of course, the album will probably sell, but hey, she could have done a layout in Playboy and made the same impact.

HERE ARE THE LYRICS!!!!
I know that you been waitin for it I’m waitin too In my imagination I be all up on you I know you got that fever for me hundred and two And boy I know I feel the same My temperature’s through the roof
If it’s a camera up in here Then its gonna leave with me when I do I do If it’s a camera up in here Then I best not catch this flick on youtube Youtube
Cause if you run your mouth and brag about this secret rendezvous I will hunt you down Cause they be all up in my business like a Wendy interview But this private between you and I
Touch my body Put me on the floor Wrestle me around Play wit me some more Touch my body Throw me on the bed I just wanna make you feel like you never did Touch my body Let me wrap my thighs All around your waist Just a little taste Touch my body Know you like my curves C’mon and give me what I deserve And touch my body
You can put me on you like a brand new white tee I’ll hug your body tighter than a pair of your jeans I want you to caress me like a tropical breeze And float away with you in a Caribbean sea
If it’s a camera up in here Then its gonna leave with me when I do I do If it’s a camera up in here [Touch My Body lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
Then I best not catch this flick on youtube Youtube
Cause if you run your mouth and brag about this secret rendezvous I will hunt you down Cause they be all up in my business like a Wendy interview But this private between you and I
Touch my body Put me on the floor Wrestle me around Play wit me some more Touch my body Throw me on the bed I just wanna make you feel like you never did Touch my body Let me wrap my thighs All around your waist Just a little taste Touch my body Know you like my curves C’mon and give me what I deserve And touch my body
I’ma treat you like a teddy bear You won’t wanna go nowhere In the lap of luxury Laying intertwined with me You won’t want for nothing boy I will give you plenty of joy
Touch my body Put me on the floor Wrestle me around Play wit me some more Touch my body Throw me on the bed I just wanna make you feel like you never did Touch my body Let me wrap my thighs All around your waist Just a little taste Touch my body Know you like my curves C’mon and give me what I deserve And touch my body

I remember when Mariah used to sing, she does’nt even hit the high notes any more… This is just more of the lame music the industry is putting out, and then tunr around and wonder why record sales or down.

Hey Musicians…If you want to be unique, don’t record with so called “Produceaass” in Atlanta.

Nice! I like it. A good mix of hip-hop and R&B. For awhile there Mariah had the wrong mix; seems like she was letting the hip-hop overpower her. But this one’s a winner. Makes you overlook that ridiculous album cover. Damn Mariah, you’re almost 40 years old - can’t you dress your age?

This is another musical feat by Mariah. The song shows off her ability to craft a melody and its playful lyrics truly ooze Mariah-ness. A “Honey” of 2008 and surely her 18th number one. I love it!

I love the song! Mariah has smashed it, can’t wait to play it to my man, especially as it’s v-day :-) Mariah’s new tune is sassy and fun, it reminds me of the feelings I felt when I first met my guy. I wanted to behave yet show him so much affection…before you jump to assumptions he waited and was gentlemen however when the magical moment did happen I relayed if he was to make a vid I would kick his ass! Go Mariah, you always and will continue to make music for different life experenices, i’m forever relating to your music, the good times and bad. Mariah’s music is either serious or playful, the perfect mix in my opinion!

It’s a very beautiful song, the tempo’s just right. Compared to a lot of other pop songs in the industry, this one is very classic. I don’t care if it makes billboard #1, I love it.

I think the song’s a nice mixture of r&b with playful pop. This is probably her best lead single since Heartbreaker. I like it.

As i was reading the first comments i was getting mad. I mean look at all the haters.!!! Mariah is a beautiful talented artist! No of course shes not going to be JUST like Vison of Love.. yeah it was a beautiful song but she has grown as an artist and people give her some damn credit when its due. When “Its like that” came out she wasnt really singing just getting her message out and if you purchased the album then you realized she had some beautiful Ballads on there. be patient i think shes giving us a tease. She is having fun! And to the person who said she needs to dress her age..ummm get a life i hope i look that damn good when im 37 goin on 40. tell Rap artists and old ass Rock stars the same then you wish you looked that good! this album is gonna be HOT!!!

This is a hot track, and its subtlety will really help it infiltrate radio. Good choice for a first single; just enough to leave them wanting more. It’s got that breezy style that’s been so popular in music lately. Plus, I appreciate the understated vocals. It’s a refreshing change of pace.

This song is a surefire hit! Mariah is ready to pull out this “dessert” to the first course that we loved called The Emancipation of Mimi. I LOVE IT! Touch My Body and the album E = MC2 is going to be amazing!

I think the song is in line from what we heard on the emancipation of mimi. It’s a hot track that quickly gets into your head (in a good way). I agree that it doesn’t hit the high notes of past songs, but I’ve heard so many people complain about that, too. It’s a great song and I think many people will love it, including me.

I heard at least 100 times since it premiered!!! I can’t get enough!! This is the perfect lead single!! It’s definatly going to be her 18th #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart!! Only 2 days of air play and already charted on Hip-hop/R&B chart at #78!! Go Mariah!!! Finally she is saving us from this drought of lame music… I mean Low..#1 for several weeks…ehh time to put REAL music up in the #1 slot. Mariah Carey is the greatest and most creative singer/songwriter of our time. And for all you haters, you want to hear her high register, you have plenty of songs to choose from, she should be know for her Voice and register and not just register aspect. And for those who wanted another “Vision of Love,” just lsiten to it. Why would she try and recreate her past!? Shes grown and is adapting to the mainstream music of this decade. Thank you, take care everyone, God bless, and PLEASE support “touch my body” not only does she deserve it to be #1, it will finally pick up from 1999 where “Heartbreaker” left off, her lead single becoming a #1!!! Thanks again!

Of course when Mariah came out she was singing about “Vision of Love” (which is about her dream she believed she would one day be on radio with her music and it came true) she isn’t going to be on that subject of the simple love theme for over 15 years…artist do grow and evolve as she should! This sounds real coming from Mariah—Wendy interview—yeah that is part of her real life and if she was thinking about a guy this song really could be her thoughts and so easy to enjoy it is a really fun song. A+ Mariah, way to go! :)

Stop hating people this is gonna be definitely her number 18. I don’t understand why some people are saying that she can’t do any high note??? of course she can and i just one to remember all of the haters that this is her first single song it doesn’t mean that the other song are gonna be like this one. But this song is very good so just stop hating she’s still the best singer and just wait until the whole albums comes out and lets see. GO mariah!!!!!!!!!!
