First off all, I cannot believe that she is on her 14th album already! I feel so old!

Randy Jackson (her manager) told Billboard that the album will be released in March 2013. http://www.billboard.com/news/inside...07799152.story

She said that the new album (source: http://www.mariahjournal.com/news.sh...yZAAkEvOdypIZT 4th from the last paragraph)

"[It] is an eclectic mix of vocal-driven ballads, up-tempos and midtempos, said Carey about the upcoming release. "I'm not one to refer to myself in the third person, but a lot of songs will feel like 'classic Mariah Carey songs.'"
Does anyone think this album will be any good?
After all, Triumphant has been getting mixed views http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM156Pkfg70

I don't even know what this album's going to be like, if it's anything like Triumphant I won't be buying it. I actually really liked Memoirs, but so far this 'single' is not doing it for me at all

I was actually thinking the other day I could really do with another ballad like H.A.T.E.U. That song is so bloody brilliant.

The one thing I appreciate that's she's doing, is still sticking to R&B in the actual sense of the word and not conforming to the electro-pop craze that's going on... I just wish she'd 'update' the sound she has because Triumphant sounds quite dated production wise. I mean there's a few R&B/Soul albums that have come out recently which still have that essence but with a contemporary twist. That's all she needs to do with her sound, her vocals of course will just be amazing anyway :P

(actually - if the album's rubbish production wise, I'll just blackmail the producers for th acappellas instead lmao )

This is what Mariah herself has said about the actual album, which makes me happy:
"[It] is an eclectic mix of vocal-driven ballads, up-tempos and midtempos, said Carey about the upcoming release. "I'm not one to refer to myself in the third person, but a lot of songs will feel like 'classic Mariah Carey songs.'"

Now, I know you're thinking Triumphant is a far cry from such songs she speaks of, however I ask that you remember 'Obsessed' and how completely out of place it is on 'Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel'. I wouldn't be surprised if Triumphant appears on the album as the last track, especially considering it's rumoured to be revoked to a buzz single.

I didn't like Triumphant at first, but now it's really grown on me.

March next year? That's ages away, dammit! Well I look forward to her album. I just hope it's not overrun by guest rappers on every track like on Triumphant. Like many have said Mariah is more like a guest artist on her own track! I love the parts she sings on that song but there's so little of her! Not impressed.

I love Mariah, hopefully the next thing she releases will be her singing the whole way through, she was a feature on Triumphant.....

I'm assuming she's holding back until March so she can release the album at the peak of the American idol live shows. She's also got time to release two more singles before then if she wants to.

I have never snubbed a Mariah song as i have with her new one. I am glad she is leaving it till March for the album. I hope she delivers a lot better material then what she has with Triumphant.

I do like triumphant. I wish he ha more vocal on it but melody is good and her vocals are nice. I love. The throwback remix. I look forward to her new album as always. Of course some of her albums are better then others but she never disappoints me.
