Mariah Carey released her new Holiday collection, ‘Merry Christmas II You’, today. The record, which serves as the long-awaited followup to the diva’s first seasonal album, ‘Merry Christmas’, includes covers of several classics as well as four new songs.

Vocally astounding and musically profound, this record features a true return to form for Carey who unleashes her unmatched voice on songs such as ‘The First Noel’ and ‘Christmas Time Is In The Air Again’. Furthermore, her Opera-singing mother even makes an appearance on ‘O Come All ye Faithful’/’Hallelujah Chorus’.
