Rumor Mill - New Song called "New Chapter"

Here's the rumored info from "Jasmine", take this with a grain of salt:


Basically a ballad with a rnb groove, vocals very raw vocals, verses apparently done in whisper voice mixed with mid-range, ending has high belting ala DFAU/WBT but more raspy. Lyrics are a "dedication" to Nick and a subtle diss to her exes. According to him produced by The Dream sounds like a mix of "My Love" and "DFAU" according to him though he isn't the biggest MC fan. He has heard a snippit but he has insiders so his description is very accurate.

and
Apparent lyrics according to him of what he could remember:

"Cause this is a new chapter in my life, I know how it feels to be so cold on the outside, ______ ______ clearing up my mind, it's a new chapter in my life, so I turn the pages and read the mistakes I've done, but now I know that you're my only one, I'm so glad that I ______ ______, I'm glad that you're _______ ______ I'm so happy to be your wife, the new chapter in my life".

Plus according to him, the belting notes at the end although raspy are really high and strong, plus she hits a big whistle note too. She apparently holds a big note at the end, sorta like the one on Bye Bye but a bit longer.

Breaking Exclusive News! Mariah to Work With Timbaland on New Album

Thanks to my Buddy, "the Prophet" for this exclusive news. According to him, Mariah will be working with Timbaland on the new album. Here's the story:

Thanks to my girl Jasmine I can exclusively reveal that Mariah Carey is working with Timbaland for her upcoming 12th studio album.

Not much is known about the collaboration yet, but Nick Cannon did say of it "trust me, this album is going to be fire!"

Carey has also worked with James 'Big Jim' Wright, The-Dream, and Tricky Stewart. Around 10 tracks have been finished so far, and Mariah was recently seen telling a fan on Twitter that she hopes something will be out by August.

Sounds like a stone groove smash hit wonder to me!

Love Story Video Tribute from Nick to Mariah

Here's the video that Nick surprised Mariah with at the Anniversary Party that moved her to tears. I still think this song could have been a more successful single than Bye-Bye, but leaving the past in the past, here you are. Thanks to MDJ for the video as well.

Mariah and Nick's Anniversary Party

Where has the time gone? With smiles on their faces, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon celebrated one year of wedded bliss Thursday in Las Vegas at the Palms Casino Resort.

"It's a very special occasion," Cannon told the crowd at Moon Nightclub, where he was deejaying, "toast to everyone."

After a very private wedding a year ago, the couple decided to do the opposite for their anniversary, celebrating with a nightclub full of people. The couple did, however, dine in a private room at Simon beforehand.

Once inside the club, the couple were greeted with a four-foot birthday cake. And the surprises kept coming - at least for Carey. Unbeknownst to her, Cannon produced a video of the couple's last year, including video of intimate moments.

After the video was shown, Carey was seen crying.

"This is the most amazing person in the world," Cannon said into the microphone about his wife. "I dedicate my life to her daily, and together this union is gonna last forever. She is my rock."

Carey replied: "I have the best man in the whole wide world."

The gushfest continued after a balloon drop and a clubwide toast, which Cannon dedicated to his wife.

Mariah, Nick Celebrate One-Year Wedding Anniversary in Vegas (Us Weekly)
The couple - who said "I Do" in a surprise ceremony in the Bahamas last April - arrived at the Palms Casino Resort's Palms Place Thursday night for dinner with 50 pals, including L.A. Reid, Tyrese Gibson, Sanaa Lathan and Floyd Mayweather.

The venue was decorated with candle-lit tables and a sign that read, "Happy Anniversary Mariah and Nick!" Guests snacked on surf & turf, macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes. For dessert, they had Creme Brulee and chocolate chip cookies.

Following dinner, the group moved over to the Moon Nightclub, where Cannon surprised his wife with a video presentation of the best moments from their first year of marriage. Then, 1,000 balloons were released into the sky when the Moon roof opened as partiers toasted them.

After the couple cut into a giant pink and white five-tiered Duncan Hines Yellow cake, Cannon hit the turntables and spun tunes.

Sounds like it was an awesome, wish I could have been there in person.
