As Mariah Carey and her friends left The Dorchester Hotel earlier today, some fans were lucky enough to hear a 20 second teaser of "Obsessed" from the limo window.

We can reveal that track is definitely uptempo, has a summery vibe and has a catchy beat. When Mariah mentioned via her Twitter page that it was different to the stuff she has previously done, she was right! So be prepared to be excited!

All in all, a sure fire HIT!

I hope it's a real uptempo! It's been awhile since we had one of those.

Im mad at that description ... it doesn't say anything we don't already know.

A sure fire hit? How do they know that if they haven't heard the whole song or are they just being optimistic?

I consider "Lovin U Long Time" one of those ... and a really nice one.

Don't you think the buzz was stronger with "TMB" before it was released? We are fans, of course we are gonna be excited, but how are things outside FOMM? Do you think radio will start playing it like crazy since the day it's released like they did with TMB?

I don’t want no cake on my birthday, errday errrday.

^Doubtful - there was a lot of hype surrounding 'TMB' because she was just coming off the hugely successful 'TEOM'. I've not been paying attention but I would say there's a lot less hype this time around.

i think TMB definitely exploded because there was a few months of hype leading up to it. Obsessed only has like 2 weeks of hype... plus TMB was coming after the TEOM phenomenon and it was more of a bigger deal.


Hopefully if Obsessed is the right song then it'll speak for itself and blow up the way its supposed to. I think the way TMB got played right away isn't going to happen again this time -- it'll move at its own pace.

And the controversy factor surrounding the whole Eminem thing may work in her favour and get people to give the song more of a chance.

That's the key, This has to connect with people/radio programmers on the first listen or two.

there's definitely less buzz than last year, there were lots of listening parties the last time, and all the reviews were so good that everyone was really exicted how she was gonna return. Plus she was coming off TEOM.

The start of this era was kinda unexpected and all the info we're getting is from her Twitter. I dont know why but IDJ hasnt announced she has a new single and album coming out yet. MTV has her Twitter as the source so have other sites. I hope they dont mess this era by getting not that involved.

Honestly, its not a whole lot I expect them to do until its closer to the album's release. the first thing is getting a song out that takes off at radio. Without a radio hit, its not a whole lot they can do to make the album a success.

will that sounds a lot like some people from "certain countries" in holland would do:) lol

The FOMM rule about lipping is:

- If it sound good, then it's lipped
- If it sounds bad , then it's live

As soon as people realize that, the easier it will be.

i think it's intentional... maybe they're trying to get people off guard by releasing a supposedly hot new song... and making people realise "oh, new cool song from mariah... is she putting out an album?"

I'm guessing they are gonna release the single to Radio becuase they are sure it's gonna be an Air-Play Hit. People aren't really missing Mariah the way we are so building up hype could hurt the project. So mabe they wanna just surprise people by the single being everywhere out of no where. Then they will release the press release and build the hype. This way they don't use all there tools too early let people love the song and then buld the hype.

I feel like they should have hyped the premiere of the song more like they did with TMB but i am sure they have a different plan, maybe the song itself is gonna do the whole thing.
