Mariah Carey, comedian? Jokes have never been Carey's forte, but on her 12th
album, she gets in touch with her funny bone, adding a cheeky marching-band
coda to the thumping club jam "Up Out My Face," threatening to out a cheating
lover on national television in "Betcha Gon' Know" ("Oprah Winfrey whole
segment, for real"); even poking fun at her own vocal signature, those
stemware-shattering falsetto trills ("Love me down till I hit the top of my
soprano," she coos in "More Than Just Friends"). The levity reflects the
company Mariah is keeping: Every track on Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel was
overseen by Carey and the ace duo of The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, who have
been known to spice their dense, inventive R&B concoctions with yuks.
The result is Carey's most sonically and tonally coherent release, a mix of
love ballads ("Inseparable") and sassy breakup anthems ("Standing O") that
might have been her best album had it been several songs shorter. Memoirs
sags in its second half, on songs such as the tepid "Impossible" and
"Languishing (The Interlude)." By the time Carey's plodding cover of "I Want
to Know What Love Is" rolls around, the joke's on her listeners.
