The Emancipation of Mimi is the tenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey. It was released on March 30, 2005, by Island Records. Its widespread success—which followed the critical and commercial disappointments of her albums Glitter and Charmbracelet —led many to deem it Carey's comeback album. Carey composed The Emancipation of Mimi throughout 2004 with a wide range of songwriters and producers including Jermaine Dupri, Snoop Dogg, Kanye West, Twista, Nelly, Pharrell Williams, and James "Big Jim" Wright; some appear as featured artists on select tracks. Carey adopted her personal nickname "Mimi" in the title, revealing a more intimate side of the singer in line with the album's overarching theme of emancipation from personal and commercial setbacks. Its songs concern themes of liberation, love, and personal growth. The Emancipation of Mimi is primarily an R&B, pop, and dance-pop album, with influences of hip-hop, gospel, and soul. Carey promoted the album with the Adventures of Mimi Tour in 2006. The album spawned six singles, led by "It's Like That", which attained top-ten peaks worldwide.
