Mariah plots return

Mariah Carey will return to the spotlight on December 10th when she releases her ninth album. The as-yet-untitled record will be her first since Carey's very public breakdown and the subsequent disappointing - though two-million-selling - Virgin Records debut, Glitter, which also served as the soundtrack to the film starring Carey.

Following the disappointing sales figures, Carey was released from her contract with Virgin Records, which had signed the artist after her ten-year stint at Sony Music. Virgin bought out Carey's contract for a reported 28 million, leaving her to forge a deal with Universal Music. Carey's new album will be released on her own label, MonarC Music, distributed through Island Records. Along with past collaborators Jermaine Dupri, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Carey has already written twenty songs for the new album.
