Refashioning Mariah
Lyor Cohen, who runs Island/Def Jam, says he recently told the cleavage-flaunting, belly-baring pop star: "If you have a magnificent voice and you write such compelling songs, why are you dressing like that?" A source close to Cohen says the comment, published in the Financial Times, wasn't a dig. "Lyor was just saying, 'Let's get back to the music'," the source assures us. "He wants her to forget about the glitz and concentrate on songwriting."
Carey's rep says, "Mariah trusts Lyor and his terrific team." Taking Lyor's advice to break free of collaborators, Carey has written almost all the songs on her next CD, due out in December on her own MonarC label. (New York Daily News) Many thanks to Mariah Mania.
