Following a flurry of false starts, it appears Mariah Carey is finally ready to unwrap her 14th studio album.

The as-yet-untitled set, which has thus far spawned four “lead singles” (only one of which was a moderate hit), had been announced for a May 6th release. Yet, with promotion having ceased for its latest offering ‘You’re Mine (Eternal)’, strong doubt was cast on whether the LP would indeed be arriving next month.

However, the speculation seemed to be laid to rest last night when Carey and manager Jermaine Dupri hosted an exclusive album playback in New York.

Details about the set remain scarce, but pics from the event have surfaced. Check them out above and below…
