Mariah Carey Reveals Her Contribution to 'Oz The Great and Powerful'

posted in: Music News

Pop singer Mariah Carey has never left the public eye, but there is no denying that it has been a minute since Mimi knocked us off her feet with her signature vocals. That wait, however, is now over.

Yesterday Mariah Carey released a stream of her new single “Almost Home,” which is taken from the official soundtrack to Disney forthcoming blockbuster, Oz The Great and Powerful. The Stargate-produced track has a startling rhythm and twinkling chorus, but it’s the vocal track that really wins you over. Carey is at her best here, with plenty of room for expression and not a single over-the-top moment her voice is both controlled and heartwarming.

Unfortunately, most of the embeddable version of the song premiere have been taken down by Carey’s label, so those wishing to hear the song will have to click here to do so. That said, it’s worth the added effort. If you need a preview, you can stream one below:
