As promised, Mariah Carey has announced all the detailssurrounding her 14th album including a title, release date, cover art, and tracklisting.
The pop diva took to Twitter on her sixth wedding anniversaryand Dem Babies’ third birthday to reveal Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse. The album, which is now available for pre-order on iTunes, will be released on May 27 featuring the singles “You’re Mine (Eternal)” and “#Beautiful.”
The title was inspired by a self-portrait that she drew when she was three years old. The illustration is also featured on the back cover.
“Please don’t judge me for such a simplistic title. Come on, I was only three-and-a-half,” said Mariah. “It was a creative visualization of how I saw myself with the purity of a child’s heart before it was ever broken.”
The 15-track standard edition features appearances from Nas, Wale, Fabolous, Miguel, and even her twins Moroccan and Monroe, with production from Hit-Boy, Jermaine Dupri, Rodney Jerkins, and more.
The deluxe contains three additional tracks including last year’s ballad “The Art of Letting Go” and her previouslyleaked collaborations with R. Kelly and Mary J. Blige off her scrapped Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel remix album.
