Mariah Carey Fans Have to Wait for New Album

Her new album may be called “The Art of Letting Go,” but it seems Mariah Carey is having trouble doing just that. The former “American Idol” judge took to her Twitter account this week to announce that her album’s release date, originally scheduled for July 23, is being delayed. Carey tweeted, “While making this album, I got so immersed in the creative process that I just don’t feel I would be doing it justice to release it on 7/23. I’d rather not exclude meaningful songs. I want to give you this album as it’s meant to be heard.” It’s interesting that Mariah didn’t give a new release date, especially since this announcement came on the heels of a disappointing chart performance for her summer jam #Beautiful. Could the chart-topping diva be having problems behind the scenes? As Mariah said in her tweet, “When I’m ready, you’ll be the first 2 know.”
