Mariah Carey is planning to release a new Christmas album. According to reports, she is currently shooting the cover of this album with world renowned fashion photographer David LaChapelle. It’s not the first time they’ve worked together, in 1999 LaChapelle shot Mariah’s cover album of “Rainbow” and directed her video of “Loverboy”.
In a recent interview with LaChapelle in the U.K.'s The Times, the photographer explained that the Christmas album will feature a graffiti skyline backdrop replete with fake snow, a "hideous" silver tree and wooden reindeer. "Mariah wanted real ones," LaChapelle said. "Flown from Nebraska. Can you imagine, real reindeer?"
Mariah Carey has been seen working with Jermaine Dupri in the studio, after cancelling her “Angel’s Advocate Remix” album.
