Mariah Carey brings out a special Christmas treat

Christmas is in the air and a fantastic way to get you into the joyous mood of Christmas is by listening to Mariah Carey's special new album, Merry Christmas II You. This second holiday album is a brilliant collection of holiday classics and original holiday songs which includes a brand new recording of Mariah's all-time standard "All I Want For Christmas Is You".

Moreover, Mariah even finds a better way to revamp this recurring hit with a lush new intro, a plethora of high notes and a heartier production. The album will surely thrill its listeners with several surprises including a duet with her mother, opera singer Patricia Carey, and a live rendition of "Oh Holy Night". Indeed, the superstar manages to bring new life to the modern standard without degrading its core structure - likewise deemed to be one of her most-admired attributes.

Mariah and her newest production partner, Marc Shaiman, introduce the listeners to the general sound of the album with a soothing live orchestra on "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town (Intro)" which flows seamlessly into the project's uptempo lead single, "Oh Santa". Following Mariah's first festive album Merry Christmas, which was released in 1994 and became one of the best-selling Christmas albums of all time with over 12 million copies sold worldwide, this highly-anticipated record will surely pump up the country's airwaves throughout the season.

In addition to traditional yuletide fare - "The First Noel", "Little Drummer Boy", "O Little Town of Bethlehem", "O Come All Ye Faithful", and more, Merry Christmas II You also contains four original songs composed by Mariah including the new hit single, "Oh Santa!". Upbeat, cheerful, and thoroughly Mariah Carey, this album is further empowered by its producers which include American Idol's Randy Jackson, multi-platinum hit-making producer Jermaine Dupri, James Poyser (acclaimed producer for Aretha Franklin, The Roots, Lauryn Hill and more), and five-time Oscar nominee and Grammy/Tony/Emmy award winning composer Marc Shaiman.

Just like Mariah's first holiday album, this one will definitely be one of the essential musical hallmarks of the holiday season. Showcased by one of the most prolific artists the industry has ever seen, Merry Christmas II You is truly another Mariah masterpiece. Feel the joyous Christmas "spirit" and grab yourself a copy of this special holiday gift from Mariah!
