Salmon sandwiches (with the crusts cut off), fairy cakes and big glasses of chilled wine... Mariah Carey sure puts on a fine spread!
Company went to the very first, so-exclusive-you-have-to-hand-in-your-mobile-upon-entry, listening of the diva's new music at the rather posh Artesian Bar in the Langham Hotel, London last night. We got to hear the first six tracks from the studio - including Obsessed, the first single currently being played on every radio station. And we have good news! it sounds like her new album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel will see her go back to the classic style we fell in love with back in the 90s. And then a Hero comes along...
The full album isn't out in the shops until 14th September, but in the meantime we can tell you about Candy Bling, a super soulful, breathy song with some high-power vocals in between, Obsessed - rumoured to be about Eminem, you'll probably know this one already, Hate You - a soulful RnB classic and many more Mariah-esque tracks. Last but not least a cover of the Foreigner song I Want To Know What Love Is created a hush over the music bods. For a few minutes at least.
