A play on the title of Minnie Riperton's album PERFECT ANGEL, Mariah Carey's 12th career outing, MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL, sees the singer flexing her prodigious vocal gifts on 13 tracks structured like intimate conversations or entries in a private diary. Written and produced by Carey along with a host of longtime collaborators including Bryan-Michael Cox, Jermaine Dupri, The Dream, and Tricky Stewart, the album features the hit single "Obsessed" along with a cover of Foreigner's classic `80s ballad "I Want to Know What Love Is."

Rolling Stone (p.66) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The result is Carey's most sonically and tonally coherent release, a mix of love ballads and sassy breakup anthems."

Entertainment Weekly (p.56) - "[With] the brash synth kiss-off 'Obsessed' and a soaring cover of Foreigner's schmaltz-supreme ballad 'I Want to Know What Love Is.'" -- Grade: B

Billboard (p.36) - "'The Impossible' takes its cue from early-'90s group Jodeci's `Forever My Lady.' Overall, Carey's throwback vibe on `Memoirs' is refreshing and much welcomed."
