Reseña
Programado inicialmente para ser estrenado en 2012 bajo el título de "The Art of Letting Go", su lanzamiento se vio retrasado ante el fracaso comercial del sencillo que se avanzó como adelanto del álbum, "Triumphant (Get 'Em)". A raíz de ello, Mariah Carey se puso a trabajar para mejorar el material ya preparado y para añadir nuevos temas que redondearan el trabajo, que fue rebautizado como "Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse".
Finalmente, el álbum apareció en el mercado en mayo de 2014, dos años después de lo previsto. Contó con la producción ejecutiva de la propia Mariah, junto a Bryan Michael Cox y Jermaine Dupri, uno de los colaboradores habituales de la estrella.
Mariah Carey trabajó rodeada de una lista importante de personas del mundo de la música, incluyendo a DJ Clue?, Randy Jackson, Q-Tip, R. Kelly, David Morales, Loris Holland, Stevie y James Fauntleroy II, entre otros muchos.
"#Beautiful" fue el principal sencillo extraído del álbum y fue lanzado el 7 de mayo de 2013 y fue interpretado a dúo por Mariah Carey junto al cantante y compositor estadounidense Miguel Pimentel. El vídeo fue estrenado en el programa de televisión American Idol, en cuya temporada 12 Mariah Carey participó como jurado. El sencillo alcanzó el puesto número 15 en la lista Billboard Hot 100.
Otros sencillos del álbum fueron "The Art of Letting Go" (lanzado el 11 de noviembre de 2013), "You're Mine (Eternal)" (12 de febrero de 2014) y "You Don't Know What to Do" (30 de junio de 2014), junto al rapero Wale.
"Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse" está compuesto por quince temas con una base R&B, pero que incorpora aportaciones de otros estilos, como el hip-hip, el soul o el gospel. Incluye baladas, canciones clásicas de pop y de soul y nos ofrece un recorrido por la historia de la música americana.
El álbum debutó en el tercer puesto en las listas estadounidenses, pero pronto fue descendiendo en la clasificación. El resultado final de ventas estuvo muy por debajo de lo que Mariah Carey había cosechado con trabajos anteriores.
El álbum "Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse" fue lanzado el 23 de mayo de 2014 bajo el sello Def Jam y supuso el decimocuarto álbum de estudio de la estadounidense Mariah Carey. Listado de canciones del álbum Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse

- FadedVer letra
[X]letra de Faded
It was overcast that day
And I was feeling some kind of way
I pulled the covers up over my head
Tried reaching for you but that was then
I can't forget
My heart's hungover but ain't nothing different
I close my eyes nothing but faded pictures of you, Of you
Faded, baby, you're faded
Baby, you're faded, faded
You come and you go, you're just an echo
Whisper in my ear, but in the morning you're not here
So intangible, just like an echo
Still trying to pretend it's possible
To bring us back to life
Boy we continue to subside
Hanging over life on this rollescoaster ride
I know your name baby sub consciously
Always somewhere, but you're not there for me
Boy you, boy you, faded, baby, you're faded
Baby you're faded, faded
Boy you just come and you go
You come and you go
You're just an echo
Whisper in my ear, but in the morning you're not here
So intangible, just like an echo
Faded,
Always somewhere, but you're not there for me
Not there for me, not there for me
Always somewhere, but you're not there for me
Not there for me, not there for me - DedicatedVer letra
[X]letra de Dedicated
I'll just sit right here and sing that good old school shit to you
I won't fool you, I won't make you be my own
Oh baby you know, all that love-making we did
Boy it was so real I wanna feel that again
Long lost friend from way back when Kennedy was president
Tell me where the melody went
And if you still care, say yeah yeah
Sing it like they used to do
This one's for me and you
La di da di da di da
That's how you do it
That's how to make it okay
Oh baby you know, make love that's how to do it

I won't fool you, I won't make you be my own
Oh baby you know, that love-making we did
Boy it was so real I wanna feel that again
And all your friends from way back then

Feels like we're there, yeah, yeah
We were so afraid to say
I hear them saying back to me

That's how you do it
That's how to make it okay

Just like we did it back then

[Nas]
We all wish today's game was old again
We just wish it wasn't full of draconian, Babylonian, phony men
F-O-H, my summation fascinates
We have debates, who's the greatest living or passed away
I ask mc, see what she has to say
Eric B or Master P
Some see it differently, '87 meant to me
I try to describe it, you try to relive it
I try to revive it, hoping that you get it
Somethin bout ladidadida got inside our bodies
Somethin bout my adidas coming out the speakers
Used to do the wop or the Peewee Herman
Rest in peace, Heavy D, Money Earnin' Mount Vernon, let's go
La di da di da di da
That's how you do it
That's how to make it okay
Oh baby you know, this is dedicated to you

Why you try so damn hard?
Oh, you're thirsty

Pull down them Tom Fords, and act like you see

Leaving me drowning
Boy there ain't no SOS
Filled with discontent
Finding you can't quench
Why you try so damn hard?
[Rich Homie Quan:]
Somebody get this girl a glass water
I say she six nickels, not a dime, past a quarter
Her daddy question me why she thirsty
You can ask your daughter, back up off
You look a little salty, so thirsty, should drink coffee
And you ain't really gotta keep hitting my phone, I see every message
Texting me asking where I'm going, baby girl stop stressin'
Then I walked in like the man of the year with these thirsty girls in my section
These thirsty girls want a blessin'
Get wet, you [?] for me
No defense but you can get the D
No sequal it's only one on me
That thirsty [?] my tires
It got me on fire
Rich Homie Quan times Mariah, Sing!
Boss now, you're tryin' to be a boss now
Thinking you a boss now

Thinking you a chief now

Oh, make me wanna say

Oh, boy you make me say
Something about you, makes every girl hot
Suffering without you
I just wanna taste of what you got
But my momma always told me not to play with
those players who play you till there’s no more game left to be played
Look at what you got me going through
Can’t help myself because you
Make it look good
Say you, make it look good
Make it look good [?]
Why you not where you supposed to be
Acting like you don't notice me
Fantasizing bout the way you lick your lips fingertips on my hips as we dip
Boy, you make it look good [?]
Sometimes, I need you but I feel so shy
Simply can’t leave you
Cause them other girls are gonna try
Guess their mommas never told them no to play with those players who play you till there’s no more game left to be played
Look at what you got me going through
Can’t help myself because you
Make it look good
Make it look good
Say, oh oh, Make me look good

Why you not where you supposed to be
Acting like you don't notice me
Fantasizing bout the way you lick your lips fingertips on my hips as we dip
Boy, you make it look good up in those

Our love is supernatural

Floating like ooh
Keep me here always
We're the only thing that's true
Beautiful, that's the sum
[?] mind you baby
Our love is supernatural
Hey baby actually
I'm for sure, they'll forever talk about our love
Communicate the doubts, sayings the words aloud
Heavenly, it's more than a state of mind
Now that you're in my life
And ooh
Beautiful, as your name
All my tears disappear
‘Cause our love is supernatural
Hey baby actually
I'm for sure, they'll forever talk about our love

Gotta get her
But you know the world is waiting

Everyone you see is racing
And you, know what you are

Meteorite in front of every eye
A shooting star
Your fame is the flame

Yeah you got to turnt up all the way
Like meteorite - CamouflageVer letra
[X]letra de Camouflage
I remember so many nights in the bed alone
One where I coulda messed up the strength to exist in the bid of cold
But you showed up once in a while, I guess that's alright
‘Cause I told my heart that you needed time for yourself, it's fine
I cannot flash my tears in the way you disguise
And I then go to know that you still love me
(I need to know, say that you do)
To know if you still love me
(I need to know, say that you do)
Where is sometimes when I try to decide my reality
Wish that I just could be something else if you talk to me
And praying inside that I'm loved for who I am
Please follow
But you where just somewhere the sun couldn't reach
Couldn't understand
I cannot flash my tears in the way you disguise
And I then go to know that you still love me
(I need to know, say that you do)
To know if you still love me
(I need to know, say that you do)
Didn't we swear we give each other everything
Didn't I give you all of me
Oh oh oh
No matter day goes by
No no no
When I, when I'm better inside
If you feel [?], if you feel still feel
[?]
In the way you disguise
And run, and run, I flow
(I need to know, say that you do)
(I need to know, say that you do)
That's all I really want it
Tell me that you love me
Laugh and laugh at the question

[X]letra de One More Try
Baby, I had enough of danger
And people on the street
I'm looking up for angels
Just trying to find some peace
Now I think it's time
That you let me know
So if you love me, say you love me
But if you don't, just let me go
‘Cause teacher, laughing,
That I don't want to learn
And the last one I had
Made my cry
So I don't wanna along
Hold you, touch you
Saying that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For a love, tell boy, this teacher has told him goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
When you were just a stranger
And I was at your feet
I didn't feel the danger
Now I feel the heat
That look in your eyes
Telling me no
So you think that you love me, no
That you need me
I rather some, I know it's wrong
Just let me go
‘Cause teacher, laughing,
That I don't want to learn
And the last one I had
Made my cry
So I don't wanna along
Hold you, touch you
Saying that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For a love, tell boy, this teacher has told him goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Who is that teacher
I'm the student
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Boy I'm just gonna say
You are my teacher
You are my leader
So when you say that you need me
That you'll never leave me
I know you're lone
You're not that strong
Let me go
I'm teacher, Love me
That I still have to learn
But the one that I had
It's my cry
Oh, so I don't wanna long
Hold you, touch you
Saying that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For a love, tell boy, this teacher has told him goodbye
I'm so cold inside
Maybe just want one more try - Heavenly (No Ways Tired / Can´t Give Up Now)
- Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive ChanteuseVer letra
[X]letra de Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse
On the back cover of this album is a personal treasure
This is my first and only self-portrait
I drew it when I was three and a half and entitled it, "Me. I am Mariah."
Please don't judge me for such a simplistic title
Come on, I was only three and a half
It was a creative visualisation of how I saw myself
With the purity of a child's heart before it was ever broken
I've kept this drawing private for so long
But because this album is a reflection of some of the peaks and valleys that have made me who I am today
I've decided to share it with those of you who actually care
And have been here for me through it all
I've been through a lot but I've always known me
I am Mariah
Along the way there have been a couple of nicknames
And I've inadvertently embodied many personas
Lately, they've been calling me, "The Elusive Chanteuse"

You used to be Mr. all about we
Now you're just thirsty for celebrity
Best thing to happened to your ass was me
Pull down them Tom Fords, and act like you see
You thirsty for a dream
Leaving me drowning
Boy there ain't no SOS
Filled with discontent
Finding you can't quench
Why you try so damn hard?
[Rich Homie Quan:]
Somebody get this girl a glass water
I say she six nickels, not a dime, past a quarter
Her daddy question me why she thirsty
You can ask your daughter, back up off
You look a little salty, so thirsty, should drink coffee
And you ain't really gotta keep hitting my phone, I see every message
Texting me asking where I'm going, baby girl stop stressin'
Then I walked in like the man of the year with these thirsty girls in my section
These thirsty girls want a blessin'
Get wet, you [?] for me
No defense but you can get the D
No sequal it's only one on me
That thirsty [?] my tires
It got me on fire
Rich Homie Quan times Mariah, Sing!
Boss now, you're tryin' to be a boss now
Thinking you a boss now
Boy you just looking thirsty
Boss now, you're tryin' to be a boss now
Thinking you a chief now
Boy you're just fucking thirsty now
Oh, you're thirsty
Oh, you're thirsty
Oh, you're thirsty
Oh, you're thirsty
Oh, you're thirsty
Oh, you're thirsty

Oh, boy you make me say
Something about you, makes every girl hot
Suffering without you
I just wanna taste of what you got
But my momma always told me not to play with

Look at what you got me going through
Can’t help myself because you

Simply can’t leave you
Cause them other girls are gonna try
Guess their mommas never told them no to play with those players who play you till there’s no more game left to be played
Look at what you got me going through
Can’t help myself because you
Make it look good
Make it look good
Say, oh oh, Make me look good

Every girl

I remember so many nights in the bed aloneletra de Camouflage
One where I coulda messed up the strength to exist in the bid of cold
But you showed up once in a while, I guess that's alright
‘Cause I told my heart that you needed time for yourself, it's fine
I cannot flash my tears in the way you disguise
And I then go to know that you still love me
(I need to know, say that you do)
To know if you still love me
(I need to know, say that you do)
Where is sometimes when I try to decide my reality
Wish that I just could be something else if you talk to me
And praying inside that I'm loved for who I am
Please follow
But you where just somewhere the sun couldn't reach
Couldn't understand
I cannot flash my tears in the way you disguise
And I then go to know that you still love me
(I need to know, say that you do)
To know if you still love me
(I need to know, say that you do)
Didn't we swear we give each other everything
Didn't I give you all of me
Oh oh oh
No matter day goes by
No no no
When I, when I'm better inside
If you feel [?], if you feel still feel
[?]
In the way you disguise
And run, and run, I flow
(I need to know, say that you do)
(I need to know, say that you do)
That's all I really want it
Tell me that you love me
Laugh and laugh at the question
When I need to know

Baby, I had enough of dangerletra de One More Try
And people on the street
I'm looking up for angels
Just trying to find some peace
Now I think it's time
That you let me know
So if you love me, say you love me
But if you don't, just let me go
‘Cause teacher, laughing,
That I don't want to learn
And the last one I had
Made my cry
So I don't wanna along
Hold you, touch you
Saying that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For a love, tell boy, this teacher has told him goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
When you were just a stranger
And I was at your feet
I didn't feel the danger
Now I feel the heat
That look in your eyes
Telling me no
So you think that you love me, no
That you need me
I rather some, I know it's wrong
Just let me go
‘Cause teacher, laughing,
That I don't want to learn
And the last one I had
Made my cry
So I don't wanna along
Hold you, touch you
Saying that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For a love, tell boy, this teacher has told him goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Who is that teacher
I'm the student
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Boy I'm just gonna say
You are my teacher
You are my leader
So when you say that you need me
That you'll never leave me
I know you're lone
You're not that strong
Let me go
I'm teacher, Love me
That I still have to learn
But the one that I had
It's my cry
Oh, so I don't wanna long
Hold you, touch you
Saying that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For a love, tell boy, this teacher has told him goodbye
I'm so cold inside
Maybe just want one more try

On the back cover of this album is a personal treasureletra de Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse
This is my first and only self-portrait
I drew it when I was three and a half and entitled it, "Me. I am Mariah."
Please don't judge me for such a simplistic title
Come on, I was only three and a half
It was a creative visualisation of how I saw myself
With the purity of a child's heart before it was ever broken
I've kept this drawing private for so long
But because this album is a reflection of some of the peaks and valleys that have made me who I am today
I've decided to share it with those of you who actually care
And have been here for me through it all
I've been through a lot but I've always known me
I am Mariah
Along the way there have been a couple of nicknames
And I've inadvertently embodied many personas
Lately, they've been calling me, "The Elusive Chanteuse"
