Mariah Carey has confirmed that she is recording a new Christmas song with her mother.
The 39-year-old popstar, who scored a hit in 1994 with 'All I Want For Christmas Is You', has said that she is teaming up with her former opera singer mother Patricia for the new holiday song, reports Female First.
The singer said: "I'm going to record another Christmas song, with my mother. I'm going to sing in my style, and she is going to sing operatic, which is her style."
Carey is currently starring in new film Precious, which arrives in US cinemas on November 6 and at the London Film Festival this month.
I'm thinking with the opera it will have a more classical feel to it. It is possible to create a modern operatic song but having her mother on it might date the sound a bit. We'll have to see. I'm sure it will be a beautiful song nonetheless.
Can't wait! I'm bored with the old Christmas songs.
