Mariah’s new single “Obsessed will hit radio in less than two days and details about the song and video are popping up all over the internetz teasing fans – like me!
Here’s what we know… or think we know:
1. Mariah’s evil alter ego Bianca, who first appeared in the “Hearbreaker” video 10 years ago, may appear in the video.
Mariah allegedly told this to a fan via Twitter direct message.
2. The song just might be an Eminem diss record! The-Dream, who’s been working on Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel with MC, had this to say about “Obsessed” when he spoke to HipHopDX:
“I don’t think anybody is going to expect her to come out punching like she is going to come out… It’s going to light the blogs up too because you don’t know who she talking about, what she talking about, but she talking about something… somebody’s going to be very upset.”
3. It’s for the summer. Here’s how Mariah described the track – “an uptempo fun summer record… different for me, but clearly,its SO me!”
4. The video may be directed by Brett Ratner. This one also allegedly came via Twitter direct message to a fan. Mariah and Ratner have collaborated in the past on “Heartbreaker”, “It’s Like That”, “We Belong Together”, and most recently “Touch My Body.”
5. Gucci Mane will appear on the remix. In a radio interview with Gucci Mane, the rapper said he’d been in the studio with Mariah working on the song.
