*UPDATED* Mariah's New Single Premieres Feb. 12th(!) + Title Revealed

California radio station KHOP @ 95.1 recently announced the exclusive premiere of Mariah Carey's new single (title currently unknown) on their station. While initially advertised to occur tomorrow (January 29th), they announced on the air moments ago that the premiere had been delayed a week to Tuesday, February 5th. This is to be the first single from Mariah's new album That Chick, which will be released April 1st. I think it is complete insanity that we have yet to hear any new music from Mariah. They are delaying the release of any kind of this single like they are afraid the timing will be wrong and the world will not care. Newsflash--we care! We want it now and we've waited long enough. She will still sell a ton of records, but the only way that won't happen is if no one knows she has material coming out because there is no single on the radio. I don't know about you, but I am ready for new Mariah. She's gonna bring it...I can feel it.

UPDATE: Bad news--The radio release of Mariah's new single has been delayed yet another week to February 12th. Good news--The title of the song has been confirmed! Mariah's new single is called "Touch My Body." All of this from Mariah Daily Journal. Now, if only we could hear it...

UPDATE #2: Deja vu, anyone? Bad news--The radio release of Mariah's new single has been delayed yet ANOTHER week to February 19th. Good news--It has recently been reported that Mariah's new single, whenever it's released, will sound like "classic midtempo Mariah with a BIG hook." Once again, all of this from Mariah Daily Journal. Is anyone else getting completely sick of this? I just wonder if there's truth to the rumor that these pushbacks keep occuring so that Mariah's new music won't overshadow Janet's new album that's due out by the end of the month. I think they'd be fine to release Mariah's single, especially if they want to keep that 4/1 release date, but if they wait until, say, Janet's release date, then they may have a problem...

UPDATE #3: The final news? I believe we have it! According to All Access' countdown clock, it appears as if Mariah's new single (the first off her upcoming album That Chick, due April 1st..?) "Touch My Body" WILL premiere February 12th, while it will impact on the 19th. I guess they read on the blogs about people being upset about all the pushbacks, so YAY! I'm excited. In other words, just good news this time!
