The internet is abuzz with reports that the above photo is the album cover for Mariah's new album, reportedly titled "That Chick".

We'll have to wait and see if it holds up.

Thoughts?

This morning it was reported that Mariah Carey's label Def Jam held a private listening party for Industry Executives in London.

10 Tracks were previewed.

The writer of the music blog Disco Pop has posted the following review:

It should come as no surprise to anyone that Mariah Carey is the premiere inspiration to aspiring singers.

It's evident when watching any episode from any season of "American Idol".

From the hand gestures, to the poise, to the vocal riffs and bellows, all the way down to the song choices, Mariah is the diva of modern times.

However, the attention soon turned from Mariah's body to her body of work when she reportedly premiered a new track off her upcoming album.

 
2007 was a busy year for Mariah Carey, despite the fact that she didn't release any new music, her usual source of income.

This year saw the highest selling female artist of all time putting the finishing touches on her new album, the follow up to her 5 million+ selling comeback, "The Emancipation of Mimi", which is scheduled for a Spring 2008 release.
