Singer is ‘back in the studio working on some new surprises,’ rep says. By James Montgomery Mariah Carey Photo: Steve Granitz/ WireImage Mariah Carey’s planned remix album of her recent Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel — called Angels Advocate — apparently has been scrapped in favor of what her reps are calling “some new surprises.” The album had been scheduled for a March 30 release, but earlier this week, Carey fansite Mariah Daily Journal cited a management representative as saying the album will not be released. “We are looking to go possibly to another studio album or Christmas album. The decision hasn’t been totally made yet. It’s a creative process that cannot be rushed,” the rep reportedly said. On Monday, a spokesperson for Carey’s label, Island Def Jam, did not directly confirm that the album had been canceled but said, “We’ve released a few of Mariah’s hot remixes on iTunes and Mariah’s back in the studio working on some new surprises.” Two tracks slated for the album — “Angels Cry” (featuring Ne-Yo) and “Up Out My Face” (featuring Nicki Minaj) — are currently available on the iTunes Store. The IDJ spokesperson did not elaborate on what the “new surprises” might be, and did not specifically mention plans for a Carey Christmas album. Her last foray into the genre, 1994’s Merry Christmas, was a massive success, and spawned the instant classic “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” a song which continues to receive Holiday airplay to this day. Carey wrapped her Angels Advocate North American tour with a show in Las Vegas last month. Related Artists Mariah Carey
