REQUEST! a-farn

官網已證實Mariah將在10月2日上TODAY Show表演她新專輯中的第二支單曲"I Want To Know What Love Is"。TODAY演唱會將於美國時間上午7點至11點，在紐約洛克菲勒廣場(Rockefeller Plaza)第49街轉角舉行，Mariah預計會演唱四首歌曲，節目將由NBC現場直播。

謝天謝地~ 咪咪通告行程有眉目了！不過，這幾週和其它瑪迷常討論以下兩個問題：

1. 這一次的多款復刻宣傳照跟新專輯名稱"Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel"到底有什麼關係？

2. 咪咪的宣傳這麼少，如何衝首周銷量？(國外討論版粗估首週銷售數字為25萬上下)

以上兩個問題我想瑪迷們都很重視，不過我認為每個人的看法都不同，如果這麼想了解這些問題，等官方的說法真的也不遲！距離新專輯發行還有八天，希望大家耐得住性子的歌迷，守候到9.29發行專輯那一天，忍不住的人嘛~ 希望你們對這張專輯有更多的評論，到時候在一起討論囉！以下轉載一篇Billboard Biz網站讚美新專輯不完美天使的文章：

Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel

Mariah Carey
Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel
By Mariel Concepcion

Mariah Carey is not only revisiting her past appearance-wise (lately the singer has been wearing her hair in loose curls, as seen during the early days of her career), but she's also taking her sound back to her R&B roots. On Carey's latest album, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" (with the exception of the first single, "Obsessed," and the hood-girl-sounding "Up out My Face," among a few others), the singer leaves behind the teeny-bop themes and hip-hop-heavy melodies of 2008's "E=MC2." Instead, she opts for big ballads and R&B tunes about love and heartbreak, which makes the new set more cohesive and age-appropriate. Carey croons in her staple high-pitched voice over piano and finger snaps on "Angels Cry," while singing about true love alongside a thumbing bass on "Inseparable." Meanwhile, "The Impossible" takes its cue from early-'90s group Jodeci's "Forever My Lady." Overall, Carey's throwback vibe on "Memoirs" is refreshing and much welcomed.

大概的意思是Mariah將時下流行的青少年流行曲風和以嘻哈為主的旋律一概捨棄，取而代之的是芭樂抒情曲和一些述說愛和傷心的R&B歌曲，這也使整張專輯更具有凝聚力和歷史感。

結論：Mariah Carey將刮起一陣重返R&B抒情路線的風潮，而且一定會大受歡迎！
