Mariah Carey recently announced her next album, E=MC², will be released April 15. The set is the follow-up to her 2005 mega-selling The Emancipation Of Mimi.

The latter No. 1 set sold a whopping worldwide 10 million units and generated three Grammy awards, so the pressure is on for the singer’s 11th studio set to perform. It would seem it’s well on its way with the lead single “Touch My Body” and guest producers including Mariah herself as well as Jermaine Dupri, DJ Toomp, Stargate, Will I Am, Bryan Michael Cox, Nate “Danjahandz” Hills and James Poyser.

This 25th anniversary of Michael Jackson's uber legend (the world's biggest-selling album of all time) is a newly expanded deluxe edition featuring contemporary acts such as Fergie, Will.I.Am and Kanye West.
