Mariah Carey – Working on Christmas Album

Mariah Carey is planning to release a new Christmas album. According to reports, she is currently shooting the cover of this album with world renowned fashion photographer David LaChapelle. It’s not the first time they’ve worked together, in 1999 LaChapelle shot Mariah’s cover album of “Rainbow” and directed her video of “Loverboy”.

In a recent interview with LaChapelle in the U.K.'s The Times, the photographer explained that the Christmas album will feature a graffiti skyline backdrop replete with fake snow, a "hideous" silver tree and wooden reindeer. "Mariah wanted real ones," LaChapelle said. "Flown from Nebraska. Can you imagine, real reindeer?"

Mariah Carey has been seen working with Jermaine Dupri in the studio, after cancelling her “Angel’s Advocate Remix” album. 

Mariah Carey - Back in the Studios with Jermaine Dupri!

 

Mariah Carey is back in the studios working on some new music with Jermaine Dupri and Brian Michael Cox. A video of them working on the new album has just popped up on the net. The audio only starts working after 3 minutes or so. This is actually the first day they started working together, and therefore there isn’t a specific sound yet for the new album. Apparently, it’s the first time that they do a behinds the scenes footage for a new Mariah Carey project. Mariah emphasizes that this video is for the fans, it isn’t sponsored, and it’s not about the money.

Mariah Carey – Angels Advocate Cancelled

Mariah Carey’s “Angels Advocate” album has officially been cancelled, it was supposed to be released on March 30th however it’s now officially shelved. Recently, she also had low ticket sales during her Angels Advocate tour. Mariah just isn’t giving her fans what they want recently, she really should take the time to produce music to the level she reached in the 90s.

Well don’t feel so bad for Mariah, Patti LaBelle has her back:

On the March 19th episode of Bravo's Watch What Happens: Live with host Andy Cohen, Soul great Patti LaBelle talked about the other ladies of music in a game called "Diva Word Association." In discussing Mariah, she revealed that Mariah will be writing some songs on her new album, which is coming out before December 2010.

Andy: "Mariah Carey."
Patti: "She's my goddaughter. And nobody can make that... well, before she died, Minnie Riperton, and she's another underrated person, Minnie Riperton. But Mariah Carey is a songbird.
Andy: "And a great songwriter, right?"
Patti: "Awesome. She's gonna write some things for my new project."

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer and actress. She made her recording debut in 1990 under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, and became the first recording artist to have her first five singles top the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993, a series of hit records established her position as Columbia's highest-selling act. According to Billboard magazine, she was the most successful artist of the 1990s in the United States.



Carey began to take professional acting lessons in 1997, and in the coming year, she was auditioning for film roles. She made her debut as an opera singer in the romantic comedy The Bachelor (1999), starring Chris O'Donnell and Renée Zellweger. CNN referred derisively to her casting as a talentless diva as "letter-perfect [...] the "can't act" part informs Carey's entire performance".

New Mariah Carey Song - Obsessed

Basically the new song is a shot back at Eminem, the lyrics say: “Why you so obsessed with me? Lying that you’re sexing me?” the Greenlawn native sings in the chorus, before delivering the kiss-off “You’re delusional. Boy, you’re losing your mind.”

Mimi generated three Grammy awards (including Best Contemporary R&B Album), two #1 singles, and countless more honors during its 18-month stay on the charts. Mimi was an industry phenomenon for the mega-platinum award-winning superstar. Soundscan's biggest-selling album of the year, it brought total sales of Mariah's albums, singles and videos to over 160 million worldwide, securing her place as the top-selling female recording artist in history.

Mariah Carey Covers Elle Magazine

Mariah Carey graces the cover and is featured in Elle Magazine’s August 2008 issue. Her new husband, joined her for a pose in the magazine too. Here are excerpts of Mariah’s interview with the mag:

Mariah Carey on her past life:

“When I was in an unhappy place in my life, I always wanted to be kidnapped. I just wanted a way out, but didn’t have one. He sort of kidnapped me and took me on a helicopter ride. Then he re-proposed. They’ve been calling me Cinderella since I first started out, so, of course, being Cinderella… Most people would think, Okay, please! This doesn’t happen in real life.”

Mariah Carey on her marriage with 27-year-old actor-rapper Nick Cannon:

“We really kept the whole relationship aspect of it quiet. Therefore, we didn’t really ‘date,’ you know what I mean? Because that would have been not quiet or private. I think we didn’t want to give people a chance to be like, ‘What are you doing? What are you talking about? This is so quick… are you sure?”
