Mariah Carey announced this week that she's already working on her new album, which will be written by song maker The-Dream, just like her latest LP, which was a tremendous hit.

Rumor has it, at least two songs in it will be performed by Mariah and Nick Cannon together.

In a recent interview with TMZ about his work with the talented songstress, The-Dream said of Mariah: "I love her, she's everything. She's down, she's cool, she gets it. You think she's this big, but she gets it. She's all the way in there. I told her we need to get back in there. It's not like it used to be where you can wait to come out with an album."
