Due to news surrounding her new album of 2014, Mariah Carey recently had a sit down with Radio.com to reveal some more information about the upcoming project.




Carey confessed to going around the world just to record this new album.




"I recorded everywhere, from Capri to Puerto Rico," Carey said in the interview with Radio.com. "I mean, now you only need a little bit of sound proofing and Pro-Tools to sing."




The wife of Nick Cannon also traveled to Atlanta to collaborate with Jermaine Dupri when it came to writing songs for the new album. In addition, she paid a visit to Rodney Jerkins in L.A. to team up on some new music. Then there was Q-Tip, who she hadn't done a song with in years.




"I worked with Q-Tip again, we previously worked on the record 'Honey'," Carey said. "We have to mix that song. He's angry with me because he thinks that I didn't allow him to do his mix, but really it's okay. He loves me, we're going to make this work. And that's good because it's one of my favorite songs. I'm going to call him soon... I think we need to get that ready."




As for what inspired her to create the music for the new album, titled " Me. I Am Mariah," Carey used the emotions of motherhood and going through a "tough pregnancy."




"My career has been my entire life," Carey said. "I never thought that I would be a mommy to babies."
