Mariah Carey released her 10th studio album "E=MC2" back in April 2008 and has just released a greatest hits record titled "The Ballads" in January 2009.
Mimi is already in the studio with The-Dream working on her 11th studio album currently titled "MC3." The pair have worked together in the past. The-Dream penned her hit "Touch My Body," from Carey's last album, E=MC2; his studio partner Tricky Stewart produced the track.
While the direction of Mariah's next LP hasn't been determined yet, The-Dream said he wouldn't want to take her too far from what she's recorded in the past. He explained Carey has little latitude for failure because of her successful track record; she was the top-selling female artist of the 1990s. For that reason, alone, The-Dream said the plan is to focus on her past hits for inspiration.
"It's like we're trying to make a greatest hits without using the greatest hits," he said. "I love her, she's everything," he said of Carey. "She's down, she's cool, she gets it. You think she's this big, but she gets it. She's all the way in there. I told her we need to get back in there. It's not like it used to be where you can wait to come out with an album. I'm like, 'Let's go, let's do it!' And she's up for it."
The tentative release date is the last quarter of 2009, most likely in time for Christmas 2009.
