Obsessed makes its worldwide premiere on radio later today … but here is our first look at the single’s cover artwork:
Mariah Carey Puts Finishing Touches on Her New Album, MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL, for August 25th Release
“OBSESSED,” FIRST NEW SINGLE PICK – GOES TO RADIO ON JUNE 16th – WRITTEN & PRODUCED BY MARIAH, THE-DREAM AND TRICKY STEWART
“The 1st single from my new album MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL is called ‘Obsessed’ and will be at radio next Tuesday. I’m a lil’ exc … Seriously, this is one of my favorite songs ever. I love the whole album. I’m completely immersed in it. I can’t wait for you to hear it. LY”
- Mariah Carey, on Twitter
First came the emancipation, then came energy and power, and now comes MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL, the new album by international superstar Mariah Carey, scheduled to arrive on August 25th. The first new single pick from MEMOIRS is “Obsessed,” which blasts out to radio today, Tuesday, June 16th. The video for “Obsessed” will be directed by Brett Ratner. “Obsessed” was written and produced by Mariah, The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, who are responsible for the majority of tracks on the new album. MEMOIRS was executive-produced by Antonio “L.A.” Reid. MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL, the 12th studio album of Mariah’s career, is the eagerly anticipated follow-up to her RIAA platinum-selling album E=MC² (released April 15, 2008), and her worldwide 10 million selling The Emancipation Of Mimi (released April 12, 2005). Both were Soundscan #1 debut albums that made chart history for Mariah in the U.S. and numerous territories around the globe.
Homegirl needs a hit … here’s hoping Obsessed will be the Summer jam that she’s been lookin’ for. Mariah has tweeted that Obsessed is an “uptempo fun summer record” and that is just what I was hoping to hear. I’m a huge Mariah Carey fan — I’d love for her to add more #1s to her repertoire. Chicago radio station B96 will be premiering the single TODAY … click HERE to stream the station online. I’ll try to add the song later on once the single hits the Internets.

Love Mariah … she can do what she wants.
I’m so tired of these loser who have nothing better to do with there sad little lives but make a despairing comment about Mariah Carey. If you don’t like her why are you reading this section or listening to this song? I love her and that’s why I’m reading and commenting your excuse is? Get a freaking life please! it’s just so pathetic you’re wasting your time on making these digs at her cause you have no life. Oh by the way your little comment sure got her. Yup, she gonna go away just like you asked.
She’s going to sell millions more albums and have number 1′s worldwide and you people will still be the nobody you’re.
I gotta say that her panties look so much cuter with your pink star, Trent. Haha
How come ppl get mad when a celeb. is airbrushed or (medically enhanced) who cares? Ain’t that what we pay them millions of dollars to do ? Why in the hell would I pay money for a cd or movie to see ppl that look average ? I paid damn good money to see someone that I will never be. Everyone knows in Hollywood everything is make believe. Everyone in Hollywood has good hair days, never gains weight and perfect tan . So why not let her use some air brush !! Besides have seen an average 40 yr old woman that doesn’t live in NY or CA? There isn’t that much airbrush in the world to make them look that presentable !! U.S is 1 in obesity . Let that marinate in your mind for a min.
I am now offically obsessed with “Obsessed”! This single is amazing it should do well worldwide whether it gets to number 1, I’m not sure but I personal think its going to do well. Mariah has also stated that her new album is like doing the greatest hits without using any of her hits! This means that we are getting the old mariah back!!!!!!!!
Everyone who has listened to the album has said that there is lots of pwer ballads that will blow you away! So just and see what the album holds and if the songs in the album are as catchy as Obsessed then the “MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL” is going to be amazing!
Also just want to point out to all the haters out there that you are picking on someone who is sold over 200 millions albums worldwide! So I think Mariah knows what works and what doesnt! Also it just shows that your OBSESSED with mariah!
TO ALL MARIAH FANS:
