We almost sent out a search party for Mariah Carey‘s new album, however it appears the diva is still hard at work on the much-delayed set.

Initially due last year (ushered in by ‘Triumphant’), the LP was bumped to July of this year in a bid to capitalize on Spring’s hit ‘#Beautiful’. Yet, after the latest date was scrapped, Mimi vanished, as did any trace of the project.

However, in a new Instagram snap, the 43-year-old resurfaces and has brought the cavalry with her.

The shot above shows Carey posing alongside some of music’s most noted hitmakers – Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins, Hit-Boy, Mike Will, and longtime collaborator Jermaine Dupri.

Will the all-star cast be able to revive a project most folk forgot about? Time will tell.

Kudos are due to Ms. Carey, though. Who else could assemble all the kings horses and all the kings men? Let’s just hope they can put her (apparently finished) album back together again.

Your thoughts?

Ariana Grande may have scored a #1 with her debut album ‘Yours Truly’ this week, yet that hasn’t stopped the 20-year-old from setting her sights on its follow-up. Already.

It goes without saying that Lady GaGa season is in full-swing.

The multi-platinum chart-titan is gearing up for the release of her fourth studio album ‘ARTPOP’ on November 11th and is on a steady, yet aggressive promotional push for the ‘Applause’ led set.

Mother Monster’s campaign trail made a stop on Bravo’s ‘Watch What Happens Live’ last night for what we feel is one of the star’s best interviews yet.

The ever-on-point host Andy Cohen left no stone unturned with his questioning, quizzing the 27-year-old square-on about her next Beyonce duet, her ARTPOP Tour, scrapped collaboration with Cher, and much more.

Quotes and full interview await after the jump…

Fresh details on his new LP may be hard to find, but 50 Cent ensures his name is kept at the tip of many a Hip Hop tongue with his new video, ‘Can’t Help Myself (I’m Hood)’.

One of the many jams to be found on the DJ Drama hosted ‘The Lost Tape’, the song’s video touches down one year after its May 2012 release.

However, we’re sure that won’t matter to the performer’s die hard supporters, who saw his last LP ‘Before I Self Destruct’ certified Gold in the USA for shipments of 500,000 units.

Not long after the clip made its debut on the net did Brown bring to light a “behind the scenes” video highlighting its creation.  Tuck in to see the action on the other side of the lens as Chris played both star and director…
