Mariah Carey 'The Art Of Letting Go' UPDATE: Spring Album Release Date, New Single On Valentine's Day [VIDEO]
Before Mariah Carey performed on New Year's Eve with Carson Daly, she confirmed that some new music is on its way.
"Now last month I gave you a little glimpse of the album," she said. "The album is coming this spring. New single Valentine's Day."
The mother of two, who wore a low-cut sparkly black gown, then introduced her heartfelt ballad The Art Of Letting Go and said: "Every now and then we need to release and let it go. The sadness, the anger the frustrations but it's going to be alright."
Carey's new album was initially intended for release in July 2013, however she postponed it.
"While making this album, I got so immersed in the creative process that I just don't feel I would be doing it justice to release it on 7/23," she tweeted in June 2013.

She then added, "I'd rather not exclude meaningful songs. 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!"
When discussing the album with Billboard last March, Carey revealed that it will feature many ballads. She also said she "tried to keep the soul and heart" in the record.
For the album, Carey has reportedly been in the studio with Bryan Michael Cox, Big Jim Wright, Hit-Boy, The-Dream, Mike Will Made It, Young Jeezy and Rodney Jerkins.
The forthcoming record's lead single, Beautiful featuring Miguel, peaked at No. 15 on Billboard.
