Mariah Carey album to have ‘all at once’ digital release?
By Sam Rigby
Mariah Carey may be about to follow in the footsteps of Beyoncé by putting out her new album as an ‘all at once’ digital release.
The singer’s new album The Art of Letting Go was due to be released on May 6, but last week it was reported that the record has been delayed once again.
However, Carey is the cover star for the new issue of Billboard magazine, which gives away some important details about the release.
The description on the cover reads: “After waiting five years between albums, Mariah Carey finally explains the personal struggle behind her all-at-once digital release, from that Idol debacle (‘bamboozled’) to a need for ‘uplifting’ music: ‘It’s all been a blur.'”
Carey has released three singles from the album so far, #Beautiful, The Art of Letting Go and You’re Mine (Eternal). The poor performance of the latter is thought to have been the reason for the most recent delay.
Beyoncé has enjoyed monumental success with her self-titled album, which was released without warning on iTunes in December. Do you think Carey could pull off a similar success story? Let us know below.
