Diva doings
Much speculation centering on what role Jimmy Iovine may play in the making of Mariah Carey's new record, which she has already begun recording. Iovine was named as a member of Vivendi Universal's "Entertainment Committee" in the deal announcement, along with Doug Morris, Lyor Cohen and Jorgen Larsen.
Meanwhile, speculation is also swirling over what shape the diva's new label will take. With Jerry Blair at the helm, the imprint, tentatively called Monarch, will release Mariah's albums through Island and will give Island first look at other signings. Will Monarch recruit other players to assist with A&R? (Hits Daily Double) Many thanks to Mariah Mania.
