During an interview on the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast, the mother-of-two revealed that one of the various projects she’s been working on is creating a new “theme album.”
“It’s something that people have been asking me to do for years, but it’s not done in the traditional sense.”
Mariah went on to hint at the contents of the album stating, “It’s not done yet, but I’m really excited about it”. I work with very eclectic and newer artists, as well as legendary people.
Earlier last month, on September 16, the award-winning star also released an extended version of her 1997 hit album, Butterfly, to celebrate her 25th birthday.
