Today it has been announced that legendary pop diva Mariah Carey is planning on making her return to Sony via Epic Records. It is said that she will once again reunite with L.A. Reid & Doug Morris who had a hand in the big success of her comeback album ” The Emancipation of Mimi” . Now unfortunately her Epic deal is nowhere near her record-setting $80 million contract with Virgin Records. “Sony’s was the only deal on the table, and it came in far lower than she expected,” a source tells Billboard. Carey “was asking for a $3 million advance; she didn’t get it.” The plan is for a greatest-hits set to be released which will coincide with her upcoming residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
