DOWNLOAD Mariah Carey, Cruise Control MP3

The Cruise Control mp3 reflects a reggae-tinged confectionary pop tune with an assist from Damien Marley. Is it me or is Mariah actually singing with a Jamaican accent in the second verse? People who expect a tune that is earth-shattering should look elsewhere, but Cruise Control is easy on the ears and on the mind.

If Mariah Carey deserves credit for anything it’s including unexpected guest artists on her albums. Let’s not forget she once bravely did a duet with O.D.B. and the surprises continue with the island flavor of Cruise Control. I guarantee you Damian Marley was not the label’s first choice of guest artist, but it’s a choice that Mariah made that obviously brings out the best in her.
