About Bobby A from United States: I have been a Lamb since 1990. I know Mariah. I love her music. I breathe her music.

Taylor Swift (110,477) by Bobby A from United States
Taylor announced yesterday that her album is dropping on October 3rd, just one week later after MC's masterpiece. Let the battle begin because you know the media will talk about chart battle on October 3rd. Why couldn't she just wait until late October?

Taylor Swift (110,449) by Bobby A from United States
I have been on X too much since June 6th reading too many posts that Taylor Swift is coming. Well, she will back in late September/October with a new album. I still think this is a direct AR marketing strategy by Republic Records to steal MC's shine and sales from 09.26 to 10.10. What else could it be to post album pre-orders without a first single released first? Don't say Bobby A didn't say it here first.

Here For It All (110,448) by Bobby A from United States
Don't say that Edward. It is too sad to think that is the best vocal take. Surely, what was played at the event was just the vocal demo before Brian Garten worked his engineering magic.

Taylor Swift (110,440) by Bobby A from United States
I think Taylor Swift is going to drop The Life of a Showgirl on 09.26. She has not announced the release date yet, but peorders have started. If she does drop on 09.26, it will be bad for MC. Let's hope that is not the case. Vinyls are suppose to ship by 10.13. So that leaves 10.3 and 10.10 as the other drop dates.

Daniel Moore vs. Big Jim Wright (110,432) by Bobby A from United States
That's it Lambi. You explained it so much better what I was trying to say about Daniel Moore and Big Jim Wright.

Here For It All (110,428) by Bobby A from United States
I love it already. The look MC had while the crowd was listening was like "I wrote that song." She is really embracing who she has become this year. I don't see or hear the sadness like 3 years ago. You go, MC.

Mariah's reaction to Katy Perry skyrockets (110,421) by Bobby A from United States
Any medication change your mood and energy level. Also, thanks to the lovely ladies that I work with in a classroom, I have learned more than I wanted to know about how menopause affects women. One of the ladies is 57, and she has mood swings and low/high energy levels that drive me crazy. Maybe MC is in the midst of menopause.

Here For It All album title (110,408) by Bobby A from United States
It just dawn on me that the Here For It All album title is unlike Mariah Carey's other album titles. It is her first album song title that is symbolic to MC's personal life since Butterfly.

Petals (110,401) by Bobby A from United States
Do you think we will get a ballad like Petals on HFIA? MC said it is a deep cut during her BBC Xtra1 Radio interview. I love it. You can tell it is a Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis production. Anyway, I am starting to feel really good about the various musical styles HFIA is shaping up to be. Who cares about charts, ctitics, and awards? I just want an album that I can listen to from beginning to end.

Daniel Moore vs. Big Jim Wright (110,394) by Bobby A from United States
I am loving the creativity Daniel Moore is bringing out MC more than Big Jim Wright. She seems to me that she is taking risks with her songs with Daniel Moore and being more vulnerable in her lyrics. I feel MC is going to answer a lot of questions in the track Here For It All. I feel we will get know MC better after HFIA.

Here For It All... so far (110,393) by Bobby A from United States
Yes I did, Shezz. When I heard the title track has a mixture of gospel and jazz moments, it made me think back to her most famous improvisation moments with Big Jim Wright. I honestly believe now the 3rd single, The Clark Sisters collaboration, the Paul and Linda McCartney cover, and the Here For It All title track will be the four songs that will be the songs charting high on the iTunes chart on 09.26 and driving physical and streaming sales. I like how MC's interviews are giving us bits and pieces of information about the songs on the album. The interviews are really going to be ramped up after the Labor Day holiday. She will probably talk about the Paul and Linda McCartney cover next during interviews. We will probably get the tracklist two weeks later after the Labor Day holiday.

Save The Day (110,392) by Bobby A from United States
I love Save The Day. The Fugees sample and Lauren Hill's hook overpowered the track.

Revisting Memoirs (110,361) by Bobby A from United States
Obsessed was Memoirs' biggest single in the U.S. It was released about 90 days before Memoirs was released on September 28th. Obsessed peaked at #7 on the Hot 100 and #12 on the R&B and Hip Hop Songs charts. Also, it peaked at number #1 on two dance charts. Despite the success of Obsessed, Memoirs struggled to have other singles that had the same success. I see one common factor that happened with Memoirs being mirrored with Here For It All. Obsessed was released too early before Memoirs' released date. We are seeing the same thing happening with Here For It All. Two singles have been released and we are still about 45 days away from Here For It All's released date. This long waiting period is just not good for launching a new Mariah Carey album. It seems like Gamma has been testing singles without a true first single to carry the excitement to drop Here For It All in a reasonable amount of time. I just hope the 3rd single is the one that will have people talking and VJ's spinning when the album drops on 9.26. I am hoping that a Bryson Tiller collaboration is the next single.

Sticking to MC's music only (110,349) by Bobby A from United States
I believe that the Bryson Tiller collaboration is on the way through a deluxe edition or Target Exclusive CD yielding 2-3 additional songs with a possible JD/BMC collaboration. The Bryson Tiller collaboration could be the third single and The Clark Sisters collaboration could act as the fourth single. Either way, I feel there is going to be a twist with the 11-song standard tracklisting when it is released in early September. Gamma has to do something to ensure HFIA is a huge seller the first week.

Sticking to MC's music only (110,348) by Bobby A from United States
I am the same OG, but with an alter ego. Lol. You will be surprised what is out there already on the web if you just search rumored tracklisting for Here For It All. People are going onto BMI's and ASCAP's website finding song titles that have been registered.

Sticking to MC's music only (110,331) by Bobby A from United States
I have some song titles tea, but I don't want to spoil what is to come on Here For It All. MC's 16th studio album is shaping up to become a huge seller because of The Clark Sisters collaboration. If you think Never Would Have Made It was a huge radio hit for Marvin Sapp in 2007, wait until MC and The Clark Sisters drop their song on 9.26. The song title is reminisce of The Clark Sisters' fans favorite songs by them like Endow Me, The Center Of My Joy, and Name It Claim It.

Hero video (110,313) by Bobby A from United States
If she continues with these great performances, we might get a Here For It All tour in 2026. I am down for it. I have only seen MC live one time during the Angel's Advocate tour in Atlanta.

Ed Sheeran (110,293) by Bobby A from United States
Equals was his last platinum album in U.S. in 2021. I don't think he is too concerned about hit singles from this Play symbol themed album. There is suppose to be four more symbol themed albums after Play. Maybe the next set will have the danceable pop sound that we have been accustomed to from Ed Sherran. Pause is the next themed album.

Sugar Sweet live at Brighton (110,291) by Bobby A from United States
MC gave a fabulous performance singing Sugar Sweet at Brighton today. Someone on X told me to enjoy the music on Here For It All and not worry about chart performance or producers.

Sugar Sweet (110,274) by Bobby A from United States
In my JD voice - y'all know who this is. Sugar Sweet is in trouble. I don't think the video is coming out tonight. Maybe I am wrong and MC will drop it without an announcement today. Radio airplay is non-existent. It is ranking really low on the iTunes chart. Type Dangerous was last played on my favorite hometown Memphis Urban AC radio station V101 at 3:47am this morning. V103 in Atlanta won't even play TD. Here For It All needs a ILT/WBT/SIO sequence moment to save it. I am not trying to be negative Nancy today, but I am really concerned about the impact HFIA will make on 09.26 without a hit single on the Hot 100. A hit single is important for a healthy sales impact that MC needs for HFIA during the first week of sales.

Sugar Sweet video clip (110,262) by Bobby A from United States
Great points, Jamie. I hope when the HFIA promos start in mid-September that we see a more focused and relatable MC. I hope she talks about 100% about her new album and not her diva antics. I don't like that she has all of these events on August 2nd, August 15th, September 13th, September 17, and September 20th in the midst of releasing a new album. These are too many events taking time away from promoting Here For It All.
