Music News: Mariah's album coming this week!

MANiCXNT

EDIT: Def Jam confirms that the album will indeed be released late May, unfortunately. The album will undergo a "traditional" release, meaning it'll be released digitally and physically simultaneously.

Quote:

But Def Jam, Carey’s label, is now telling a different story. According to Laura Swanson, the label’s exec VP-media, the album will, in fact, be preceded by a traditional strategy leading up to a “late May” simultaneous digital/physical street date. “Mariah will announce the date and title in advance of the on-sale date,” she said, noting that the cover and confirmed tracklist will all be included.

I remember FYE putting a placeholder for Beyoncé's album a month before it dropped. The album is coming.

iHype.

Whatever store that claims to be selling that album May 6th is lying.

That means shipments would be out all over the nation, the album would be leaked by now. We'd atleast have a title.

Over it.
Her and her team need to get this **** together. And pick a specific release date.
Do they want her to flop?

Wait is this real?

@michael

So they announced a "delay" so they could hit us with the sneak digital attack on Tuesday??

Am ready for the FLOP

This can't be real....

Not necessarily, physical albums were planned to be at retail a week after it's digital release. Since when do album shipments go out more than a week in advance?

I don't think she cares all that much.

What's the title? What's the tracklist? What's the album cover? Where is the promo? Where is the next single after You're Mine?

And also, it looks like Target will pull a Beyonce on her, and not sell her album (if it's true that's she releasing it digitally a week before). Target doesn't like when an album is available to buy somewhere else before they have it.

iHype.

You have to manufacture and do shipments of physical albums atleast 2 WEEKS before the date. (Hence BEYONCE's album)

There is no humanly way possible it could be all done by May 6th, and the news would've been leaked.

Ugh @ y'all spreading these damn lies on this album. I'm so tired of it. Y'all take anything & run with it.

Won't believe it till I see it
