Mariah shines Through The Rain
Despite Mariah Carey's best efforts to keep her new material under wraps, her new single Through The Rain has been leaked by New York City's biggest radio station Z100. The original radio release date was scheduled for September 30th with the CD to hit shelves on November 11th. No word yet as to whether it will be brought forward.
For Mariah the leak hasn't been a negative occurrence. In fact the song has been very well received and since its leak has been played continuously right across American radio. Described by fans as "old Mariah", Through The Rain is a simple ballad showcasing the superstar's incredible vocal and writing ability.
The chorus reveals a very private side to Mariah's all-too-public personal problems in the last year: "I can make it through the rain/ I can stand up once again on my own/ And I know that I'm strong enough to mend/ And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith/ And I live one more day and I make it through the rain".
Through The Rain has a tentative Australian release of November 11th, with the as-yet untitled album to follow on December 2nd. (TV Hits Online) Many thanks to the Australian Mariah Carey Fanclub.
