Putting everything into perspective, Mariah has yet to announce the name of the album, tracklisting, album cover, 3rd single and DO some PROMO.
Here's a supposed tracklisting
Plus, the lambs have been anticipating this album for more than 3 years and
Mariah is an album seller!
Do you think she's doing that bad? Her team is being oddly quiet 3 weeks before the release so they must be planning something. Mariah must have something up in her sleeve and the collabs on this album are going to slay!
This album is surely going to be HOT. Be sure to buy it on iTunes May 6th
