It's all over for Mariah and Sony
The decade-long relationship between Mariah Carey and Sony Music/Columbia Records is
unofficially kaput. Carey, according to my sources, has been negotiating quietly with
a couple of different labels and should announce, shortly, a megadeal. I know that among
the labels she's talked to are Arista, Clive Davis' new unnamed label, Warners, DreamWorks
and Elektra Records.
One sign that Mariah's life at Sony is over is her Web site. The Sony-backed site had been
carrying Mariah's audio messages to her fans. That was until this column reported that Carey
had left a message on May 26 complaining about politics at the record company and alluding
to executives trying to do her in. A subsequent message was left on June 5, but after that
the messages stopped. Now it seems that Carey's site has been stripped of everything but
song samples from her last album, Rainbow.
A rep for Carey says that the singer plans to add a new message this week, although where
she's going to put it is anyone's guess. Currently when you click on the news portion of
her site, all that comes up is a come-on to fans to add their names to Sony's database.
Calls to the editor of the Columbia Records Web site were not returned.
Carey is currently finishing up her final Sony recording, called Glitter, which is supposed
to be a soundtrack to a movie of the same name. The film, which was to have gone into
production on July 3, directed by Vondie Curtis Hall, is in limbo.
