Carey made the announcement on New Year’s Eve, during her performance on New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly. The title of the track is currently unknown.

Carey has also revealed that her long-delayed album, The Art of Letting Go, will be released in the very near future.

“The album is coming this spring,” she told the audience at the event. “New single, Valentine’s Day.”

Originally slated to be released last July, the album was postponed because Carey still wanted to add some good songs.

“I’d rather not exclude meaningful songs. I want to give you this album as it’s meant to be heard,” she said in June.

The Art of Letting Go will include “Triumphant (Get ‘Em),” which was released back in 2012, lead single “#Beautiful” which features a guest appearance from Miguel, and title track “The Art of Letting Go” which premiered on Carey’s Facebook page in November.

Released via Carey’s Facebook page, the black-and-white clip features the singer in a recording session with Jermaine Dupri, Rodney Jerkins and composer Larry Gold. The former American Idol judge is also seen rehearsing with the members of an orchestra.

“I guess there’s a lot of curiosity about the title The Art of Letting Go,” she says of the song in the nearly one minute clip. “People are like, ‘What does that mean to you?’ And I’m like, ‘I just want it to mean what it means to you.’ ”

“Music has saved my life, and there’s certain things that I still can’t let go of even if I try so hard, I still can’t let go of them and I know there’s other people in the world that feel the same way,” she continues. “If there’s just one person that I help get through a situation with this song, then that makes my life and that makes me know that I can get through pretty much anything.”

“The Art of Letting Go” will premiere on Carey’s Facebook page on November 11 at 11:00 am EST. Meanwhile, her album of the same title is expected to arrive later this year.

Mariah Carey and Miguel are embracing their Spanish roots through music…

The 43-year-old half-Venezuelan singer and the 27-year-old half Mexican American R&B singer have released a Spanglish version of their hit collaboration “#Beautiful.”

Mariah Carey & Miguel

In the song entitled “#Hermosa,” the former American Idol judge and Miguel both sing the song’s lyrics in English and Spanish.

The Spanglish version of “#Beautiful” marks the second of five planned remixes to “#Beautiful”. Earlier this week, Mariah and Miguel worked together with A$AP Rocky to release a remix version of the track. The next projects will include hip-hop remix and dance mix.

It’s not Carey’s first time singing en Español. She previously recorded versions of her hits, “Hero” and “My All“, for her Spanish-speaking fans.

“#Beautiful” will be featured on Carey’s upcoming album, The Art of Letting Go, which was Initially due out on July 23. But the singer’s fourteenth studio album is now delayed indefinitely.

“While making this album, I got so immersed in the creative process that I just don’t feel it would be doing it justice to release it on 7/23,” she tweeted earlier this week.

“I’d rather not exclude meaningful songs,” she added. “I want to give you this album as it’s meant to be heard. When I’m ready, you’ll be the first 2 [to] know.”

Mariah Carey is putting the brakes on the release of her latest album.

The 43-year-old half-Venezuelan singer and former American Idol judge informed fans via Twitter that she’s delaying the release of her 14th studio album indefinitely.

“While making this album, I got so immersed in the creative process that I just don’t feel it would be doing it justice to release it on 7/23,” Carey wrote. Originally slated for a July 23 debut, The Art of Letting Go doesn’t have a new release date yet.

“I’d rather not exclude meaningful songs,” she added. “I want to give you this album as it’s meant to be heard. When I’m ready, you’ll be the first 2 know.”

The news comes as a blessing to fellow Latina songstress Selena Gomez, whose forthcoming Stars Dance was supposed to come out on same day as Carey’s album. With the pop diva out of the way, Gomez now has a stronger chance of scoring a No. 1 chart debut, though she’ll still have to contend with Chris Brown’s X in its second week of sales.

Carey, meanwhile, still has a #Beautiful hit on her hands… The lead single from her now-undated album. “#Beautiful” feat. Miguel has thus far peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 3 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
