The Emancipation of Mimi is the tenth studio album by US pop singer Mariah Carey , who is privately called Mimi .

The original version of the album spawned four singles ; among them are the pre-release It's Like That , the US single Shake It Off , Get Your Number with Jermaine Dupri and the ballad We Belong Together .
In 2006 the album and its singles received eight Grammy nominations. The album won the award in the category "Best Contemporary R&B Album", the song We Belong Together was named "Best R&B Song" and Mariah Carey was awarded a Grammy for her vocal performance on this song in the category "Best Female R&B Vocal Performance" excellent.
