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, with our main man 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!

The songbird was snapped working in the studio in Atlanta recently with longtime collaborator [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Jermaine Dupri[/lastfm] (“We Belong Together”). Now that she’s looking great, in a wonderful mind frame, time will tell just how hot her new music will be.
