Diva supreme Mariah Carey is hot on the promo trail for her upcoming new album.

The set, which serves as the singer’s 14th studio effort, will – as reported – be released in a unique “all at once” capacity, with its title, artwork, and music all rolled out digitally first, with a physical edition arriving a week later.

To plug the release, which comes on the heels of a slew of unsuccessful singles, the star beams a-front of  The Observer – a subsidiary of UK newspaper The Guardian.

During the insightful piece (which you can read by clicking here), it’s confirmed that Carey (who turned up 3 hours late for the interview) is indeed eyeing a “late May” release date for the “surprise” project.

It’ll be lights, camera, action for Pop force Lady GaGa!

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.  As today marks the 44th birthday of TLC’s lead singer T-BOZ, our latest ‘Replay’ will revisits the group’s 1999 comeback ‘Fanmail.‘
