We steel ourselves for a blast of force-10 singing and ballads so overheated
they leave carbon footprints, but no, Mariah Carey's first album since her
post-breakdown comeback in 2005 with The Emancipation of Mimi turns out to be
a lithe exercise in R&B/hip-hop. Upbeat in tone, E=MC* finds Carey in a
number of guises - wronged lover, abused wife, seductress - but not the great
diva of repute. There is a lot of singing but the acrobatics are mainly kept
as background accompaniment to her restrained lead vocals. The songs touch on
different genres - disco on "That Chick", high-tech R&B on "Migrate", reggae
on "Cruise Control" - with club-friendly beats and Carey's focus ensuring
coherence. Even the album's big weepie, "Bye Bye", addressed to her gran,
keeps the gushiness under control.
