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.
