Mariah Carey is planning her return to the music scene after taking some time off to focus on her marriage and her two beautiful babies, Moroccan and Monroe, and husband Nick Cannon.

She’s started 2012 off with a Jenny campaign, and she looks fierce!! Then she was awarded with a BET Honor Award. Now she’s ready to hit the radios with a new album!

She’s rejuvenated and ready to start sharing some of the amazing new music she has been making in the studio!

The best part of the creative process for Mariah has been the inspiration of her beautiful family.

It’s time she reclaims her spot as pop’s leading diva!
