This isn't going to be #1. Coldplay will block her in just about every country.

The remixes come from the unreleased Angel's Advocate.

I'm buying both the standard and the deluxe.

All the song titles sound interesting and unusual for Mariah. I'm most looking forward to supernatural with Roc and Roe and Meteorite becuase Q Tip produced it.

What an awful title.
What a gorgeous cover. But So badly touched up. Mariah looks good for her age but she doesn't look that good for her age. She looks about 16 in the deluxe pic

Interesting how two of the scrapped songs from Angels advocate will now see the light of day.

Thank god she has not acknoweledged the awful Triumphant. Perhaps the worst thing she has ever recorded in her 24/25 year career.

The deluxe cover is the same as the 'leaked' from when the album was still called The Art of Letting Go!
Not sure which I prefer, she looks great on the standard cover but the other seems a little more honest!

I love the cover. It's so Mariah. And no-one really complained at how photoshopped she was on the Emancipation of Mimi cover, which is just as drastic as this cover.

I'm really excited for it. New Mariah music!

The album title is AWFUL.

I'll give the music a chance, though.

I think 'I Am Mariah' would have been slightly better than the horrible deluxe edition name. Interested in hearing the MJB duet and the rest of the album. She looks incredibly airbrushed in the photos but as mentioned, she did on Emancipation too.

Prefer the title just as the elusive chanteuse tbh and nearly 5 year old remixes? Wtf? Wyd rather she put almost home and the vintage throwback mix of triumphant on there

There is a reason why she named it Me. I Am Mariah!

You know, I really couldn't care less how photoshopped the covers are - the colours are amazing. I actually quite like the surreal quality about it - everyone knows she doesn't look like that, and neither does a beach or the sky lol. It's gonna be difficult deciding which one to use on iTunes aha

I quite like the title too, I just don't like the added "The Elusive Chanteuse" at the end... still, I'm excited to hear it though. I'm glad it's finally got a confirmed date/title/tracklisting! I'm probably in the minority of people who LOVED You're Mine & Almost Home (even though that's not on the album) - and of course, Beautiful!

I don't know why people expected Almost Home to be on the album. It was a separate project for a film sound track...?

Will.i.am owns the copyright to the phrase "I AM" i wonder if she had to pay him.

I wasn't saying I expected it to be on there, it just had a similar 'sound' to other tracks this era and a lot of people dissed it - I'm just saying I quite enjoyed that song. I'm well aware it was just for Oz.

I think almost home should be on there....definitely more than its a wrap or betcha gon know plus other than beautiful its arguably the most successful/well known track of the other 4 released

I'd say Beautiful was much more well known, was Almost Home even that popular?

Looking forward to this. Not keen on the title but more interested in the music to be honest. Just hoping there's more songs like #Beautiful and less like The Art Of Letting Go.
