She’s still got it.
Mariah Carey's new album, Me. I am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse, is FINALLY here and it's better than we could've ever imagined.
It's been a long road to Mariah's 14th studio album. She became a mother to twins with her husband Nick Cannon. She signed to a new label. Nick suffered health issues. Last summer, she herself suffered a serious injury, breaking her wrist and ribs. And after delay after delay, it became unclear when and what exactly we'd be getting in terms of a new Mariah album.

But the wait was worth it.
On her new album, Mariah sounds stronger, more comfortable, and fresher than she has in over a decade. On tracks like album opener "Cry" (a gorgeous, piano-driven ballad) and the gospel choir-backed "Camouflage," she lets her voice soar higher and with more power than she's let us hear her past few albums.

"#Beautiful" featuring Miguel was last year's perfect breezy summer anthem...

... and she continues the joyful, carefree feels on "You Don't Know What To Do" featuring Wale.
The whole album's a feel-great listen, really.
