User:The bellman

G'day The bellman is a character from The Hunting of the Snark by Lewis Carroll. I live in the Blue Mountains, Australia. Today's featured article Mariah Carey "Your Girl" is a song recorded by American singer Mariah Carey (pictured) for her tenth studio album, The Emancipation of Mimi. She wrote the track with Marc Shemer, who also produced it with her under the name Scram Jones. The lyrics of "Your Girl" are about confidently approaching a potential lover. To convey this sentiment, Carey employs belting in her vocal performance. The track was influenced by disco, gospel, jazz, pop, and soul, while sampling vocals and an acoustic guitar from the 2003 Adeaze song "A Life with You". Some reviewers considered "Your Girl" one of the best tracks on The Emancipation of Mimi; others criticized the vocals. Regretful that it was not issued as a single from the album, Carey later released two remixes featuring rappers Cam'ron, Juelz Santana, and N.O.R.E. as part of a 2021 digital extended play. She has performed the song live during the 2006 The Adventures of Mimi concert tour and the 2024 Celebration of Mimi concert residency in Las Vegas. (Full article...)
