Mariah Carey feels there is a "lot of pressure" on her new album.
The diva released comeback track ‘#Beautiful’, featuring Miguel, yesterday (06.05.13) and is racing to complete her eleventh studio album in time for summer.
Taking about a release date, she told radio host Ryan Seacrest: "Probably we’re talking about earlier than mid-summer, which is a lot of pressure on me because I want these last few records to be just as good as the first records I started."
Mariah wrote ‘#Beautiful’ with Miguel and was impressed with how in tune with each other they both were in the studio.
She explained: "We got together, he had starting writing this song with just the guitar riff. And I have to say this about him as a collaborator, sometimes when you haven’t worked with somebody you don’t know really what they do in the studio… And if they have the same kind of love for music that I have… And he’s the truth.
"We just wanted to do something different that has a texture that feels fresh."
Mariah’s video for ‘#Beautiful’ will get its global premiere during ‘American Idol’ tomorrow night (08.07.13).
