Mariah Carey - Obsessed

It's no secret that Mariah Carey has an impressive voice, but often her songs fall flat, and the number of years she's been making music start to show with her dated nineties sound.

But with 'Obsessed' (the first song off 'Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel') Mariah has pulled off a winning track, and perhaps the person to thank for the modernisation is producer The-Dream.

Staying away from her often inaudible dolphin squeals, Carey sticks to using more chilled out vocals, which work well with the laid back summer beat. 'Obsessed' even has similarities to some of Jesse McCartney's tunes - and that's always a compliment!

Rumored to be written about Eminem, who's convinced he's bedded Carey at some point, the lyrics are quite amusing. It's quite rare to find a Mariah Carey track that even non die-hard fans can enjoy, but she seems have hit the nail on the head with this one.
