Mariah Carey is back to work.

Less than six months after giving birth to her twins, the new mom returned to the studio to begin her next album. She and longtime collaborator Jermaine Dupri posted photos of themselves in the lab. “So happy to be back in the studio with the one & only @Mr_Dupri aka Jermash!” wrote MC, while JD added, “We are back together.”

The dynamic duo last collaborated on “Oh Santa” off last year’s holiday album Merry Christmas II You. Mariah will also make an appearance on the U.S. edition of “The X Factor” as Simon Cowell’s guest.

I wish she'd work with different people. But as long as it's not the dream, I'm glad.

She IS grown. How is she exactly acting like a sexpot since she became a mother? At least she knows when to sit down and stand in the background when it comes to her health and family unlike that broad that's showing up everywhere since using an awards show ceremony as a PR stunt to announce her pregnancy.

Don't speak too soon. Morrocan (I'm still laughing) & Monroe will probably be used in every promo stop next era, including music videos.

Mariah, thankfully, isn't insatiable for attention like Mrs Jay-Z. Although her kids were born this past April, we still haven't seen either one of them in print, on TV or online.

That's because that portion of her life is over. MC used to be everywhere and all over everything like Bey.

People mistake Mariah for someone who would "do anything for attention". Her keeping her pregnancy, motherhood and even her marriage (after all the news it generated) private proves she is not the ditz some wanna make her out to be.

Yeah, she used to be everywhere, but she was never/is not an attention whore.

I think early on in her career Mariah was out there all the time because she was just starting up and putting out albums every 18 months or so. After she had her breakdown around Glitter, she has been more judicious with her time, only blitzing the media circuit when she has a project in the works or an album being released. Otherwise she has kept a low profile.

The Glitter era was definitely a wake up call. I'm glad that her pace is much slower than it was pre-2002.

What a lovely comment. I've always liked her natural hair, too.

It's her Mariah Carey/Emotions hair, hope she has plans to make an album like those

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I see her whispering about rainbows and unicorns ON ONE MORE ALBUM while wearing a dress that's clearly made for Rihanna and not her old fat ass.... I'ma scream.

Vanessa Williams is the perfect example of aging with grace, class and flair. Take notes!!

ok.. ENOUGH about her hair!!

i just want a new album with a fresh sound. am i hoping for too much?

no, or very very minimal hip hop/rap/callaborations...

no lullaby album...though i expect a song or two.

no songs feat. Jermaine Dupris.

just Mariah. << yes i did!!

I really don't have anything against Mariah. I think she is mad talented. I'm glad she is happy with Nick. There almost like the new Jada & Will(which is a big compliment since i'm a huge admirer of the mega couple). But she needs an image overhaul to me. She acts to immature...

We might get a solid R&B/pop album. Least I hope so. The hip-hop/R&B marriage is falling apart.

A dance album like Emotions? Soulful dance music is a must

Maybe she's recording the Touch My Body Remix, and it'll be featuring sixteen rappers. Mariah was better when she was under the control of Tony Whatshisface.

I knew she'd get right on it this fast, it's why I love her.

as for the JD news, it's never been bad news to me as their stuff together are amongst my very favorites from her, from Always Be My Baby to Last Kiss.

To this day, IMO, "All My Life" is one of her best fast songs and shows what happens when a real producer (Rick James) gets their hands on her voice.

Jermaine Dupri has always been a slouch to me. He needs to stick to producing kids and leave the grown folks music to the grown folks.

Rick put that Tina funk on that track and Mariah sang the sh*t out of it. This actually sounds like something Jam & Lewis might have done as well. She needs to move on to more musically skilled producers. JD can make simple dance floor grooves but he's not a skilled musician and it shows in his production.

Even though U right about Rick James. Who I was a huge fan of his productions. I never heard this track. I never knew he even worked with Mariah. This track is HOT! But U dead wrong about Jermaine. I don't why he gets so much critisism on this site. Jermaine produced Mariah's biggest hit "We Belong Together".Also U wrong about his skills to. He is a skilled musician to & was a child prodigy.

Now I will agree I didn't care much for his work with my girl Janet Jackson. That was not a good match. But Jermaine & Mariah make good music together.

Where the hell have I been? Never heard this joint! WOW Never knew she worked with Rick. Which album was this from? And you're right, it does have a Jam & Lewis feel to it. Thanks for posting...

That song is from 'Glitter'
