Three years after releasing the phenomenally successful ``Emancipation of Mimi,'' pop diva Mariah Carey is back with a new album ``E=MC².'' Carey's 11th studio album is once again a winning mix of R&B, hip-hop and pop tracks, which will surely burn up the charts in the next few months.
Carey produced and wrote the first single ``Touch My Body,'' which attracted a lot of attention for its sexy music video. Some of the songs have a laid-back R&B vibe like ``I'm That Chick'' and ``I'll be Lovin' U Long Time.'' Carey is still at her best when she does slow tracks like ``Love Story'' and ``Bye Bye.''
She collaborates with hip-hop's hottest artists like T-Pain for ``Migrate,'' Damian Marley for ``Cruise Control'' and Young Jeezy for ``Side Effects.'' Top producers Jermaine Dupri and Will I Am also participated on the album.
