"Boy, I Need You," Mariah tells British admirers
Madonna is mad for them and Gwyneth is a convert. Now Mariah Carey has joined the bandwagon of American female celebrities to fall under the spell of British men. The singer, in London next week to promote her latest single, said: "England is a really cool place and I like the men over there. They have a dashing quality about them." Carey, 32, also revealed plans for a world tour later in the year, with several concerts in Britain.
The new single, "Boy (I Need You)", is the second track from her album Charmbracelet, which has sold more than 2.5 milion copies. Her success marks a stunning comeback after a disastrous 2002, when her £70 million, five album deal with EMI was pulled after her album Glitter flopped. Her film debut of the same name was also panned. EMI gave her a £20 million payoff, then she suffered a breakdown. But Carey, the world's best selling female performer, bounced back with a three-album, £14 million deal with Island Records. (Metro Magazine) Many thanks to MariahCareyUK.com.
