On January 20, 2009, Mariah Carey’s new album Ballads would be out in the market. “Ballads” is her album of re-recorded songs of some of her most popular songs in the past. It is like a tribute album that will surely get good sales.

Mariah Carey is one of the few really good singers of today. Her voice is amazing and she can reach the really high notes that make other pop singers feel humiliated because they can’t. Mariah Carey got the talent and the body that made her what she is now- an icon. After all these years, Mariah still makes beautiful songs that hit the chart. This new album is her 16th album and she promises to release even more albums in the future.

On Mariah Carey’s album the Ballads you’ll find the new version of her popular classic song “Hero”. With all the 18 tracks in her album, her song “Hero” is probably the most listened to. It’s a great song and she made it sound brand new. You can watch her music video for this song on YouTube. Don’t expect the songs are changed dramatically as there’s not that much change really, just made it sound fresh.

She sang in collaboration with other singers for some of the songs in this album and she sang with Boyz II Men, Luther Vandross, Nas and Joe, Trey Lorenz, and Westlife. The 6th track on the album is “How Much” which was recorded for her Rainbow album but wasn’t included in the tracks so it’s just now that you will have the chance to get a copy of this song.
