Sugar Sweet (110,034) by Pedro from Brazil

I loved the song, gave me the same feeling as when I first heard TMB. If we want this track to climb higher on the charts, it needs more streaming.

Sugar Sweet (110,033) by Jamie from UK

It's a catchy song, not sure it's gonna chart that well though. Her voice in the higher parts is not great and worries me if that's what they can come up with in the studio. It's a light summer feel song, imagine it with Slipping Away vocals. But it is what it is.

Sugar Sweet (110,032) by TJ from Norway

I'm not sure what I think. It's too much head voice in the beginning for my taste. The song works ok from the second verse. But much better than the horrible AI version presented by Eddie.

After playing it on repeat for like 30 minutes, I enjoy it a little bit more than what I wrote above. Sweet sound, but no number one. Unlike some people, I do not think she will get another #1 Hot 100, but that's ok.

Sugar Sweet (110,031) by Terna from Nigeria

Total bop.

I played it once only so far and it's stuck in my head already, been humming it for a while now. Did you guys get that "Sugar Spice & Everything Nice" line? Haha. Someone mentioned that a few days back here and lo and behold its in the song. Lol. With two tracks revealed so far from the upcoming album, I can already see this is going to be a very different sound from Mariah Carey, so far I love both records. Side note: I was looking forward to hear that run from IG short somewhere in the song "do oo oo ooo", that's an important hook Mariah.

Sugar sounds sweet (110,029) by Stacey from USA

SS sounds like a complete song whereas TD felt like it was missing an ending. I thought Shenseea and Kehlani's parts were nicely mixed throughout the song with Mariah. I love the sample of ILT. I hope the video is MC late at night having flashbacks of her guy. That's the vibe the song is giving me. Any guesses about who the song is about? The first two guesses don't count, lol. Like ILT, I feel this song will grow on me.

Sugar Sweet (110,028) by Bill from the UK

Well I doubt it will be the 20th number one. Astonishing that in 7 years she couldn't come up with anything even remotely different to what she's put in the last 20 years. Thumbs down. The only thing keeping me "here for it all" is the Clarke Sisters number and seeing what McCartney song she covered.

Here For It All (110,027) by Zachariah from Croatia

Glitter is a no skip album for me. From top do bottom. Adore that album. Rainbow as well. Butterfly is a whole another level. TEOM is good from number 1 until 7, then I just skip to 14, 15, 16, 17 (de luxe edition).

Here For It All (110,026) by Stacey from USA

I am here for TEOM. I wasn't a huge fan of ILT at first. It took time for the song to grow on me.

It's a special occasion
Mimi's emancipation
A cause for celebration
I ain't gonna let nobody's drama bother me
Cause it's my night
No stress, no fights
I'm leavin' it all behind
No tears, no time to cry
Just making the most of life

Sugar Sweet (110,025) by Sascha from Germany

Song is out and a sweet sweet bop.

Sugar Sweet (110,024) by jaker20 from US

I love.

Definitely one of MC's best releases in quite a long time. Second listen and I'm hooked.

Sugar Sweet (110,023) by Shezz from Pk

Ok, an instant ear worm. I love the beat and love how all 3 of them blend seamlessly on the song. No one feels like a cut and paste after thought. This is how you arrange a trio - Walter take notes.
Doesn't seem short at all. I think it'll do better with the streamers and the TikTokers than TD did. Feels more like a Mariah song than TD did (no hate for TD, I do really like it). Another interpolation (ILT) that fit well. Has potential to do way better than TD. I love Mariah's chest voice specially on "I hope that you don't mind, I'm gonna take my time". That's the sweet spot of the song.

If I had to nitpick, I know Mariah loves to add all her textures but her head voice isn't as smooth anymore. And the fan art cover.

Actually fan art has become brilliantly better with AI.

Will be interesting to see how it does - JLo has dropped her Birthday song as well. I know we all need to not focus on chart success anymore but the truth of the matter is that unless she and the label see decent numbers, there really won't be much more music from her.

Also, Bobby A. I may be wrong but I feel like Here For It All might be an introspective ballad with Daniel Moore.

Happy Sugar Sweet weekend guys.

No more reprimanding please.

Article: Mariah Carey confirms Kehlani and Shenseea collaboration (110,022) by Anonymous from USA

Wow. What a great song. We desperately needed this to get us through these times.

Sugar Sweet (110,021) by Lara from Middle East

It's light, neat and sweet. Like a summer hit. Touch My Body vibes. I love that the lyrics are easily relatable. Their voices blend very well. "I hope that you don't mind" part reminds me of a song on Caution but I can't figure out which one (maybe because it's 7 am). I hope that song will get recognition.

Promising start, disjointed middle, underwhelming ending (110,020) by John from USA

So, Sugar Sweet is finally out. Started out really nice, with Mariah's voice front and center. Immediately hits you with a Bieber like vibe and "swag". When the 2nd and 3rd non-MC verses come though, why does it feel like for those moments, it stops being a Mariah song? It's missing something... like Mariah maybe cooing or doing backing voice during their verses. Chorus is repetitive with no variation from one to the next. Ending doesn't grip you. I was expecting at the start of the song that it'll take me for a sensual albeit fun and light ride, but that feeling immediately ends when the guest verses come in. This one would've been better had Mariah sung it all throughout. I hope others like it and it still becomes a hit.

The new song sounds amazing.

Sugar Sweet (110,018) by Dove from United States

That AI song I Don't Know Her is so funny. Thank you for telling me about it.

Here For It All (110,017) by Bobby A from United States

No maam, I never skipped a single track on TEOM. MC sequenced the heck out of TEOM perfectly. I think that is what she has done for HIFA. I have already analyzed the potential genre of the songs which we don't know the titles of yet.

1. The Stereotypes produced song is an uptempo jam.
2. Here For It All ft. Anderson .Paak
3. Type Dangerous positioned perfectly here so the album can start paying homage to every era of MC's career.
4. Sugar Sweet ft. Shenseea and Kehlani
5. The Roget Chahayed song is an uptempo jam.
6. The Daniel Moore produced song is a ballad.
7. The Harv produced song is a midtempo jam.
8. The Bongo ByTheWay song is definitely midtempo or a ballad.
9. The Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney song could be Dear Boy or My Love or Live and Let Die.
10. The Clark Sisters gospel song is described by Nostradamus on X as Amazing Grace and Ain't No Way.
11. This Daniel Moore produced song has explicit lyrics. So possibly it could be Clown 2.0 or Did I Do That? 2.0.
12. Hoping for that Bryson Tiller feature on the Amazon Exclusive CD.

iTunes (110,016) by Tameka walker from United states

How do you download music? I want to support Mariah and I would love to know how to download.

Here For It All (110,015) by Lambi from USA

You don't think TEOM is a no skip album? I get what you mean with Butterfly being the golden standard though. It's on another level.

I want to believe HFIA is a no skip album but I already skipped T:D but I don't doubt majority of the tracks will be fire.

Webmaster request (110,014) by Lambi from USA

Good to see you out of hibernation, Bill. Look at my recent posts I�m literally so chill. Maybe a couple of jabs here and there but it�s majorly chill posts, trying to enjoy this roll out.

Sugar Sweet (110,013) by Giovanni from USA

I also saw that recently and agree with you Edward. I didn't like it at all. It's a thumbs down for me if that was the song but it's AI. There's also a song from AI that's called "I don't know her" and it's hilarious. AI nailed Mariah's whistles in the song.

Anyone know where we can get the most bang (tracks) for our buck? I'm not buying more than one copy of this album. Otherwise, I'm super exited because it's supposed to be a return to her true form.

Here For It All (110,010) by Anonymous from United States

I hope "Here For It All" performs well. "Type Dangerous" has already out-performed all of the singles from "Caution", so that is a good sign.

It saddens me that Mariah's team in 2018 botched the rollout for the "Caution" album. It was a solid album, and she was correct in her criticism of the "instant grats" approach. And they should not have released it so close to Christmas.

It seems like Larry Jackson and the Gamma people have it together for this album's launch though. Hopefully "Sugar Sweet" benefits from the hype built by "Type Dangerous".
