Explicit Version: Mariah Carey & Miguel - #Beautiful

We really like Mimi and Miguel's #Beautiful single and it seems we're not the only one as it hit #20 on Billboard last week. The perfect laid back summer anthem! Looks like they wanna collect some cool point too as they just released the explicit version, haha. We still like it and some ass and fuck won't make us go all crazy over it though, haha. We wanna hear Mimi swear! Hear her talk dirty about Miguel's ass or something, haha. PLUS the ridiculous video became even more awkward as it omits the bike ride sequence and just has MC dancin' around in that barn. Can they spell male gaze? Haha. It's a disconnected video for sure. But the song dirty or not is a banger! Enjoy! 

Mariah Carey & Miguel - #Beautiful - Video Premiere

Mariah Carey and Miguel's hashtagged single #Beautiful has really grown on us over the week! One might even say we love it! The summer feeling is incredible and the overall sound we think will appeal to a large crowd, not just Mimi's lambs and us, haha. Chart predictions are it's gonna have a HUGE first week in the US. Nice! Now, the video... The thing we love most about the track is it simplicity and laid back approach. The visuals not so much. It looks contrived and the chemistry is lacking for sure. It's also so overtly sexualized towards the female body and we've seen that a billion times already. But then again, this IS a Mariah Carey video - it's wouldn't be complete without short skirts, flowing hair and high notes, haha. Moving on - we love the song! 

Mariah Carey & Miguel - #Beautiful - Premiere

Mariah Carey is peparing for the release of her 14th studio album - lead single #Beautiful with Miguel just premiered! Yeap, she really went there and used a hastag in her title! Much like Triumphant (Get 'em) MC herself does not actually show up until 01:30 in the song, unless you count some harmonies! Wonder what that's all about? This mid-tempo track showcases a change in sound - guitar driven and kinda organic. You like? Thoughts?
