It was announced just a month ago that Mariah Carey entered the studio with Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox and Johnta Austin to begin the work on her follow-up studio album to the disappointing Memoirs Of an Imperfect Angel. Well Jermaine Dupri has spoken and given fans a time frame of when to expect the new material:

“We started last week and we don’t take long when we get in, so hopefully a single before the end of the year,” [SOURCE]

On top of this, Carey is to release a Christmas album in which she’s already shot the artwork for by famed photog, David LaChapelle. Well, we tell you what, we’re not excited in anyway for any new M.C. material so this may just be a good album.
