[情報] E=MC2滾石樂評：三顆星

[amo07 (eManCipation)]

瑪麗亞凱莉無所不用其極地嘗試新玩意兒，從R&B-hop到抒情芭樂，一會兒不諱髒字一會
兒卻又抱著凱蒂貓裝可愛。但她的第十張錄音室大作卻呈現與上張專輯同樣的模式：由
一首派隊歌曲開場，由一首教堂聖歌結束。

在Cruise Control當中，瑪麗亞和雷鬼新秀Damian Marley大玩新曲風，還有一首
標題創意獨具的O.O.C.，和帶著很棒的七零年代迪斯可風的I'm That Chick。專輯當中
最有突破的是她大罵前夫湯米摩托拉的歌曲Side Effect，以及帶有極重節奏與電音效果
的Migrate。但這張專輯的盲點就在於，幾乎每首歌曲的曲調走式都類似，侷限了瑪麗亞
高超的唱功和音域，而且六首抒情歌的歌詞都像是畢業紀念冊裡頭的字句，水準不及The
Emancipation of Mimi的精彩表現。而值得一提的是這回瑪麗亞依舊帶來了充滿靈性的
福音歌曲，在I Wish You Well的精彩演唱當中，更證明了這位天后只需要一台鋼琴
、幾句聖經歌詞，和她完美的嗓音，就足以拯救世人。

Mariah Carey embraces her extremes: She's either grinding out R&B-hop or
singing syrupy ballads, talking dirty or cuddling with a Hello Kitty. Her
tenth studio album is no different: It starts in a club and ends in a church.
Carey tries on reggae with Damian Marley's scorching "Cruise Control" cameo,
conjures a text-message title for Swizz Beatz's flute-loopy "O.O.C." ("out of
control") and dials cool Seventies soul with "I'm That Chick" (where she
compares herself to ice cream, Tupac and a blunt). She sounds the freshest
when she fires up her Tommy Mottola resentment on the bumpy, Young
Jeezy-assisted "Side Effects" and lives the high life on Danja's hard-hitting
head-nodder, "Migrate," which dabs her vocal with Auto-Tune. But nearly every
song confines Carey to four-note verses, offering little room for her
glorious range, and the six ballads are drenched in yearbook-quote lyrics
that never quite work themselves into the froth of The Emancipation of Mimi.
Yet 2008's Mimi is also about redemption, and she brings it on the closer, "I
Wish You Well," proving all she needs is a piano and a few Bible verses to
save somebody - most likely herself. Caryn Ganz
