Mariah "rains" supreme as she shoots new video

Comeback kid Mariah Carey, who suffered a devastating mental meltdown last year, was all smiles yesterday as she filmed a new music video along Park Avenue South in the city. Looking smokin' hot, the sexy pop princess strutted back and forth in a thigh-baring skirt and ultratight top that had male onlookers on fire.

The video, directed by David Meyers, is for her new song, "Through the Rain", in which she bares her soul about her past problems and her hopes for the future. Appearing confident and carefree, Mariah seemed like her old self as she happily waved to fans who stopped to watch.

It's been a tough haul for the perky hitmaker who delivered eight chart-topping albums and 25 singles in just 10 years - and then had a nervous breakdown in July 2001. In the weeks leading up to that collapse, fans had listened in sadness as Mariah left a series of rambling and unfocused phone messages on her official Web site.

Not helping her situation was disastrous starring role in the movie "Glitter" and a bad breakup with Latin pop sensation Luis Miguel. Mariah was also dumped by her label, Virgin, who paid off her long-term contract to get rid of her. But she's been determined to bounce back, and now with a new label, Island/Def Jam, and new album on the way, she may be able to do just that.

"Through the Rain," released to radio stations last Thursday, has already gotten good reviews from fans and deejays.
