Mariah Carey will release her twelfth studio album, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel," August 25 on Island Def Jam, the singer announced today (June 16). The debut single, "Obsessed," is co-written and produced by Carey, The-Dream and Tricky Stewart and has shipped to radio, while a music video directed by Brett Ratner is forthcoming.
Carey announced the title of her new album back in May via Twitter, writing, "Bcuz I Love U, I want u to be the first to know the title of my new album "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" Its very personal & dedicated to u." The singer followed up on June 9 with an excited Tweet about the first single: "Seriously, this is one of my favorite songs ever," she wrote. "I love the whole album. I’m completely immersed in it. I can’t wait for you to hear it." Since entering the studio earlier this year, Carey has been giving updates about the album with regularity to her 600,000-plus followers on the microblogging site.
Island Def Jam mogul Anotnio "L.A." Reid is credited as executive producer on "Memoirs," while Stewart and The-Dream produced the majority of the tracks. The album follows 2008’s "E=MC2," which sold 1,300,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan and spawned Carey’s 18th No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 ("Touch My Body"), as she surpassed Elvis Presley as the artist with the second-highest tally of No. 1 hits in the rock era.
