Rock, rap and more: all those beats go on
|  |
| Mariah and Aretha Franklin
at VH1 Divas Live in 1998 |
The New York Times reports that Mariah has recorded a duet with Aretha Franklin for
Aretha's upcoming album: "It takes a brave vocalist to sing a duet with Aretha Franklin,
but she has rounded up an album's worth, including Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige and
George Michael." The album will be released on November 13, 2007.
Already in 2004, there were plans for a duet album. In a UK Flava article from 2004,
it says, "According to a Hollywood Reporter, Carey, who's early hits such as Vision of
Love, Make It Happen and Anytime You Need A Friend showed the strong influence of her
early heroes Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder, is being lined up for an appearance of
Aretha's planned duet album."
The article continues with, "The dream pairing previously collaborated on a
rapturously-received live performance of Franklin's classic hit Chain Of Fools for
1998's Divas Live extravaganza and were said to have struck up a close friendship. Carey,
who in recent years has preferred to focus on contemporary hip-hop seems to be happy to
turn to the old school for her next album project, set for release in November."
The Mariah album the article talks about is of course The Emancipation of Mimi. But
the duet album never saw the daylight. Or could it be that Aretha's next album is
the long awaited duet album?
