Mariah Carey About to Make “Epic” Move Back to L.A. Reid and Sony (EXCLUSIVE) 1. L.A. Reid和當年的團隊都在Sony，目前只有他最適合幫咪咪 2. 可能依循芭芭拉的模式，發一張"咪咪與他的好友們"形式的專輯，重唱舊歌 (畢竟早期經典也都在Sony) _ 3. 經紀人尚在尋覓中(這幾年到底已經換掉幾個？往好處想，其實她想振作) Mariah Carey is coming back to Sony and Epic Records. Carey, I am told, is basically done at Universal Music Group and DefJam Records. Her last release, last June's "Me. I Am Mariah", was a spectacular sales flop, not crossing the 250k mark. (It was actually lower.) The elusive chanteuse has never really equaled her DefJam hits "The Emancipation of Mimi" and "E=MC2". And all of her loyalists from the DefJam days are gone, starting with former label chief L.A. Reid. Sony目前有多位大將，L.A.Reid經營漸上軌道 Reid left DefJam for Epic, where he had a slow and bumpy start after an unfortunate detour into "American Idol". But now he's on roll with mega hit Meghan Trainor, not to mention Sara Barielles, Bonnie McKee, Fifth Harmony, A Great Big World, The Fray, and Kongos. Reid is the only one in the biz who could relaunch Carey as an adult star - no more hip hop - and may be the only one wants to. 消息來源指出，Reid主導的咪咪合唱專輯已開始動工 More importantly, Sony has incentive. Most of Mariah's classic catalog of albums is still there from her Tommy Mottola days. Reid's first move might be to do a Mariah-and-guests duets album of her hits like "Dreamlover" and "Vision of Love" a la Barbra Streisand. One source tells me: "It's in the works and should be done shortly." 八卦傳言某"大牌藝人"最近在表演後台羞辱唱片公司人員，大家把矛頭指向咪咪 這件事更提高咪咪即將跳槽這個傳言的可能性 Another sign: a blind item on Hits Daily Double claiming a major legacy pop star just dissed his/her record execs backstage at her show. Carey held court at the Beacon Theater in December for about a week. Just sayin'... And don't forget: Carey is about to take over from fellow Epic star Celine Dion at Caesar's in Las Vegas. The Butterfly singer is ready for a resurgence. The only thing she still needs: a manager. Someone she actually listens to. She's been through several in the last couple of years. (Showbiz411) --
