This is the time of year when Mariah Carey is all about bringing joy and happiness to the masses. The Queen of Christmas is about to hit the road for her Merry Christmas One and All tour, and gear up for the endless loop of her modern holiday classic, “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”
But in a chat with Good Morning America on Monday (Nov. 6), the singer revealed that she’s cooking up some new modern classics as well. Carey said that fresh tracks are “on the horizon.” She revealed that she’s been in the studio working and “just writing new songs.” In fact, the day before she said she and her team were, “in the studio working on something with a choir, working on a new song. So it’s exciting.”
At press time there was no information on the album and a spokesperson for Carey could not be reached for additional comment on her next project. Carey’s released her 15th studio album, Caution, in 2018.
Carey’s most extensive holiday tour to date is slated to kick off on Nov. 15 at the Yaamava’ Resort and Casino in Highland, CA and keep her on the road through a Dec. 17 gig at Madison Square Garden in New York after hitting just Toronto and New York on last year’s tour.
She will be joined on the road by her 12-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, with Carey noting that daughter Monroe — who did a duet with her mom on last year’s outing — is “rehearsing more than me, so I think she might have it together a little bit more than I do.” In fact, Carey joked that the tween “kind of” has a handle on her mother’s legendary whistle note, but “just has to play with it” to get it dialed-in.
