This is the time of year when Mariah Carey is all about bringing joy and happiness to the masses. The Queen of Christmas is embarking on hitting the road for her tour "Merry Christmas One and All" and gearing up for the endless loop of her modern holiday classic, “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”
In a chat with Good Morning America, the acclaimed singer revealed that she is cooking up some new modern classics as well.
Carey said that fresh tracks are “on the horizon” and noted 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.”
Carey released her 15th studio album, "Caution", in 2018.
The singer's most extensive holiday tour to date is slated to kick off on November 15 at the Yaamava’ Resort and Casino in Highland, CA, and keep her on the road through a December 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.
