Mariah Carey’s promotional schedule for her new album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, has been plagued with surprise postponements, but fans need not worry. Mariah is still releasing her long-awaited album only at the later date of September 29 (the album was originally scheduled for a August 25 release). But not only is the album getting a new release date, it’s getting a new “first” single.
Showbiz411 reports, MiMi will release a cover of the Foreigner power ballad “I Want to Know What Love Is,” as the official first single from the “ballad-centric” set. “By the time its run is over, a new generation will think ‘I Want to Know What Love Is’ is a Mariah Carey song,” Showbiz’s Roger Friedman says of the song.
While revealing the details of the new single, Friedman also reported the tracklist for the first time, which is:Â “Betcha,” “Obsessed,” “H.A.T.E.U.,” “Candy Bling,” “Ribbon,” “Standing O’s,” “Impossible,” “It’s a Wrap,” “Inseparable,” “Up Out My Face,” “More than Just Friends,” and “Angels Cry.”

This is what real journalism is. There is quoting from real critics and is based mainly on facts and shows the real promotion other than doubting her ability.
