Five octave wonder Mariah Carey tweeted this festive photo of herself in the recording studio laying down vocals for her upcoming studio album. The underrated songwriter tweeted, “me pon de booth last night.. LYM!!” prompting a viral tidal wave of excitement regarding her new project.

In the meantime Carey is slated to take the stage this week to perform her first concert since becoming a mother to ‘dem babies’ last year.

The pop titan will headline a free, intimate show (with Diddy) at New York’s Gotham Hall on March 1st as part of a Plot Your Escape promo.
