Mariah Carey NEW single “Obsessed” Sampler and Rating!

Mariah Carey , the self proclaimed Queen of divas has a good old popÂ on her new single â€œObsessedâ€ â€“ the first track from her upcoming album Â â€œMemoirs of an Imperfect Angelâ€Â which is reportedly Â due out Aug. 25 on Island Records. Has received radio airplay today and the sampler is below courtesy of You Tube (soundtrack only).Â Â It’s being billed as a diva pop at the rapper Eminem who has been having a go at some female celebs in his latest offering, Mariah has decided to hit back with Diva Power. Full video due for later release when is as yet unclear!

The Verdict:

Usual Mariah quality, sounds a little bit different from her usual offerings and not in the “more of the same”Â category. Â Vocal quality cannot be denied, lyrics are tongue in cheek and very good, its catchy but we feel as with a lot of Mariah songs and with quality songs from quality artists in general they take a while to grab, but on repeated play/listening grow on youÂ and have incredibly long shelf life. This is a 3 and a half star song in quality terms but the intial grab is not quite there for us, but its good none the less. Initial Rating 3 stars out 5 ++++++++++. We have listened again for a second time just to see if this grab theory bears out and we have upgraded to a final Rating 3 and half stars out 5. Not her best ……… but pretty good!
