It glitters so it must be gold

It looks like a shiny, bright year ahead for Mariah Carey, who's working with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to finish the soundtrack for her film All That Glitters. Mariah stars in the movie, a flick about an up-and-coming singer set in the early 80's. To get the right musical feel for the soundtrack, Mariah knew she needed Jimmy & Terry's expertise and experience.

"We tried to create the feel and the sonic landscape of the time, which was pretty easy for us to do, because in '81 we were in The Time and kind of starting that whole Minneapolis sound," Jimmy Jam said. "We actually pulled out a lot of old keyboards and drum machines we used back then. [Carey] said it would be cool to do something like the S.O.S. Band, so we pulled out the drum machine that we used for the S.O.S. Band records in the '80s. It's amazing, you plug that stuff up, and you're really, like, back there."

Originally, the film was set to hit theaters around March. A 20th Century Fox spokesperson now says the movie won't hit screens until sometime in the second half of the year.
