Untitled

Merry Christmas II You is the upcoming thirteenth studio album (and second Christmas album) by American singer Mariah Carey. The album will be released on November 2, 2010 and will feature four original songs, all-time Christmas classics and a re-recorded version of her 1994 Christmas hit "All I Want for Christmas Is You".[3]

Background and production

After the cancellation of the Carey's thirteenth studio album/second remix album Angels Advocate, speculation began to shift onto an alleged Christmas album. Fashion photographer David LaChapelle told The Times on April 24, 2010 that he shot the Christmas album's artwork, thus confirming that Carey was indeed planning to release her second holiday album.[4] It was revealed that long-time collaborators for the project include Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox, Johntá Austin and Randy Jackson.[5][6] Roger Friedman of Showbiz 411 said about the album, "Anyway, Mariah's Christmas album is said to be very lush, with lots of strings and no hip hop. A lot of it is said to be 'live' and there's an ochestra. So let's chew on that news, and calm down about the other. And believe me, she won't be announcing anything at Radar Online owned by the National Enquirer. That won't be happening!"[7] It was later announced that Carey had worked with Broadway collaborator Marc Shaiman, with Carey saying that he was her favorite collaborator since her days with Walter Afanasieff.[8] During a press conference in Seoul, South Korea, in August 2010, Island Def Jam executive Matt Voss announced that the Christmas album would be out in November 2. Several days later, the album's title was revealed. The II represents the follow-up to 1994's multi-platinum Merry Christmas album. An accompanying DVD will also be released.[9] Three track titles have been passed around the web; Bryan-Michael Cox confirmed through ustream that a track named "Oh Santa!" had been recorded.[10] This will serve as the album's lead single.[11] The song premiered on AOL Music on October 1, 2010.[12]

Singles

"Oh Santa!" is the lead single from the Christmas album. The song is witten by Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox and Carey herself.[13] The song premiered on AOL Music on October 1, 2010.[14] It has been sent to radios and made available for digital downloads since October 11, 2010.[15][16] The music video to "Oh Santa!" was directed by Ethan Lader.
