Just five months after giving birth to twins, new mom Mariah Carey is back at work.
The diva’s longtime producer Jermaine Dupri posted photos of Carey in the studio on his official website.
Mariah posted the pictures as well, and tweeted about her new endeavor: “So happy to be back in the studio with the one & only @Mr_Dupri aka Jermash!"
In an interview with Billboard, Nick Cannon confirmed that his wife is working on a new album.
"She's been working away, and we have a studio in the crib, and [the pregnancy] has totally inspired her on so many different levels,” he said. “You're definitely gonna see some new phenomenal music from Mariah."
Carey, 41, and Cannon, 30, welcomed twins Monroe and Moroccan Scott on April 30 of this year.
Nick assures fans that Mariah’s latest effort will be available toward the end of the year.
Carey released her 12th studio album, “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel,” in 2009, and her second holiday album, “Merry Christmas II You,” last year.

Then you slide down the water slide which is naturally there on your yacht!! You swim in the water for a little bit, have fun... maybe some dolphins swim by! You swim until you get tired and laugh with your friends and family (in my case that would be the lambily!) until the evening!

Joan Collins: Mariah Carey Looks "Perfect"
Joan Collins thinks Rihanna, Beyoncé Knowles and Mariah Carey look "perfect".
The 78-year-old is famous for her signature look of bright red lipstick and large shoulder pads. Joan has kept this style ever since she played the role of Alexis on 80s TV show Dynasty.
The actress and novelist has complimented some of the women she thinks dress well in show business today.
"Rihanna is always exquisitely dressed," Joan told the British edition of OK! magazine, "and so are Beyoncé and Mariah Carey - I think those girls look perfect."
However, Joan also hinted that some of music's more extravagant icons aren't always to her taste. Lady Gaga's famous meat dress and colourful wigs were are "not quite [Joan's] scene."
The glamorous star also revealed she doesn't spend much time getting ready. Joan has perfected her beauty routine over the years and it now takes her under half an hour to do her hair and make-up.
"I have a hairstyle that's just wash and go really," she confessed "I put make-up on very fast, that's why we call it slap in the business! It's usually just moisturiser, base, powder, lipstick and sunglasses."

Justin Bieber takes on Queen of Christmas MAriah Carey
VMA winner Justin Bieber is a young guy, so he might not be aware that by producing an entirely original Christmas album he is stepping into an arena dominated almost exclusively by one of pop's biggest divas, Santa's Helper outfit enthusiast Mariah Carey.
For all intents and purposes, Mariah Carey is the unofficial Queen of Christmas. She wears Santa hats in public (and has miniature ones on her dogs), puts together holiday music spectaculars and usually celebrates the holiday with a lavish vacation in Aspen. A Google search of "Mariah Carey Christmas" returns over 45 million results and the video for her 1994 single "All I Want For Christmas Is You" has over 28 million views on YouTube.
The pop star has released two Christmas albums, 1994's Merry Christmas and last year's Merry Christmas II You, and while neither is wholly original (the second is principally standards with only a few original tunes), Carey owns this niche. Merry Christmas is the biggest selling Christmas album of all time, with worldwide sales exceeding 15 million copies.
And if Biebs is taking the original song route, he should be aware that Carey has set a pretty high bar. In the 17 years since its release, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" has become a standard itself – the New Yorker called it "one of the few worthy modern additions to the holiday canon." The track resurfaces on worldwide singles charts every holiday season, and topped the Billboard Hot 100 Re-currents Chart every year from 2005-08. The numbers for it are actually kind of staggering – "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is the best selling holiday digital single ever (and the nineteenth best-selling digital single of the 20th Century!), the most downloaded holiday ringtone of all time and is Carey's biggest single ever in the UK.
It's probably worth noting here that we cannot speak impartially about Carey or "All I Want." Like so many others who grew up during the peak of her popularity, the song has become the Christmas track of our generation. Little Drummer who? Jingle what? It is inescapable and amazing. During college we used to ride around with friends singing "All I Want For Christmas Is You" in the middle of July. This song is so good, it's Christmas every damn day, if you ask us.
And now the kids will have fresh Bieber songs to spike their holiday season. We'll stick with our girl Mariah, but that's great for them. Bieber is a talented kid, so there's no doubt he'll deliver the goods. And if he plays his cards right, as Carey did, he'll be living off royalties for years to come. How else do you think she affords all that glitter?!
