Mariah Carey "That Chick" Out April 1st

The above image is the (presumed) cover for Mariah Carey's upcoming new album entitled That Chick, which is set to be released April 1st. Discopop recently offered some insight as to how the album might sound and they gave an optimistic view on what to expect, pointing out that Def Jam boss LA Reid plans to release 6 singles from the project. Billboard also announced details for the upcoming release, including the tracklisting:

"Lovin' You Long Time"
"Touch My Body"
"That Chick"
"Thanx for Nothin'"
"For the Record"
"Migrate" (ft. T-Pain)
"Cruise Control" (ft. Damien Marley)
"Love Story"
"OOC"
"Bye Bye"

Interestingly enough, Mariah Daily Journal pointed out 2 confirmed song titles not included in the tracklist: "For Real, For Real" and "Heat," which was once being considered for the first single, along with title track "That Chick," "Migrate," and "Touch My Body." And while no official first single has been chosen, a radio impact date has been set for January 29th. I reeeally hope we hear at least the new single within the next week or so because, especially considering how hot it should be, I am DYING for some new Mariah! Some might point out, though, that the 10-track CD isn't enough music to release an album with these days (similar complaints occured with the first release of Beyonce's B'Day and Monica's release of The Makings Of Me back in October '06), but I disagree because, like, imo, the short-and-sweet B'Day, if someone with the kind of talent and the amount of success that Mariah has is releasing an album this short, it is HOT and not full of crappy fillers in between the good songs. So, along with a new Brandy album, there is nothing I want more than this new Mimi record. I can't wait!
