Entertainment Weekly's 2005 Forecast in Music

When Island Def Jam chief L.A. Reid invited EW over to preview tracks from the new Mariah Carey album, The Emancipation of Mimi, he danced around his Manhattan corner office, fists raised in the air in celebration. “I don’t know if you can tell,” he grinned, mid-spin, “but I’m really happy with it.” With her 10th studio CD, the five-octave singer is trying to refocus her vision of love with the help of superstar producers like Neptunes, Jermaine Dupri, and man of the moment, Kanye West. Carey hopes the upbeat disc, which includes guest appearances by Snoop and Twista, among others, will have a broad appeal. I know that my hardcore fans will have the ballads that they can cling to, she says, but people who haven’t been fans in the past will be able to pick out songs they like as well. It’s not formulaic. I’m one of those people who likes to stay with what’s familiar, but what was cool with this project was stretching. That newfound sense of liberation is reflected by Emancipation’s title (“Mimi” has long been a nickname used by Carey’s closest friends and family). When the name of the album leaked to the press late last year, tongues wagged that Carey was pulling a P. Diddy. A lot of people were like, ‘Uh-oh, is she changing her name!?’ she laughs. There was this whole big drama. I’m like, It’s really not that deep. It’s what I felt like expressing at that moment.
