AceShowbiz - Mariah Carey is going to release her fifteenth studio album later this year. The new album release is a part of the renewed deal between Mariah's company, Butterfly MC Records, and the songstress' label since 2015, Epic Records. On Monday, April 10, it was announced that the partnership was still going strong, and Mariah's upcoming album would be their first priority this year.
"To continue working with Mariah Carey at Epic has been another rewarding chapter of my career. Mariah's incomparable talents as a singer, with her vocal range that is nothing short of legendary, are matched by her brilliance as a songwriter, producer and performer pas excellence," Epic Records CEO, L.A. Reid, said in a statement. "Mariah's chart records have established her enduring place in music history, a position that is cherished and supported by her loyal fans worldwide. I look forward upon all of Mariah's success for years to come."
Mariah seemed thrilled, both about the business and the music. "I am putting my heart and soul into making more music. I am so thrilled for this next chapter and to continue working with, and for, everyone that I love," the 47-year-old songstress said in a press release.
After her exit from Sony Music in 2000, Mariah returned to the music label in 2015, when Reid personally signed her to Epic Records. Mariah and Reid previously had worked together on her 2005 album, "The Emancipation of Mimi". The pair re-team up for the upcoming album, which still has no details regarding the title, release date and the featured artists.
The forthcoming records would be the follow-up to Mariah's "Me. I am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse" which was released in 2014. The pop diva released a single in February titled "I Don't" which was inspired by her split from ex-fiance, James Packer.
