Is Mariah Carey pulling a Beyoncé? Well, according to Billboard, Mimi is planning to release her 14th studio album by surprise!
The album’s track list and name are concealed, but the 44 year old singer has revealed collaborations with Nas, Trey Songz, and Wale. There’s also a “special guest star that I’m not allowed to reveal,” she told Billboard. The artwork, music, and track list will be revealed at once via her digital partners. Mariah described the title as “a personal possession of mine that’s part of an entity that I’ve had almost all my life.”
Album producers include Rodney Jerkins and long-term friend-turned-manager Jermaine Dupri.
The surprise album has been in production since 2010, before the birth of her twins, Moroccan and Monroe, with husband Nick Cannon.
The “Butterfly” singer hinted at retirement after a comment on ”Watch What Happens Live.” She revealed, “I will always make music. When I said it could be my last, that’s because tomorrow’s not promised to anyone.”
