Mariah Carey records song for Disney's 'Oz The Great and Powerful' film

Vocal superstar Mariah Carey has recorded a track called 'Almost Home' for the Disney's forthcoming animated feature, 'Oz The Great and Powerful'.

This marks her first contribution to an animated movie since 1998's Prince of Egypt'. The song is set to be released through Island Def Jam on February 19 and the film is due to be released on March 8.

David LaChapelle has also been confirmed to shoot and direct the accompanying music video, which will include footage of Carey as well as scenes from the motion picture. LaChapelle directed the beauty's 2001 video for 'Loverboy' and has worked with her previously on photo shoots for album covers.

Meanwhile, Carey's husband Nick Cannon has promised to make her Valentine's Day a special one this year: "We do something big every year, I'm plotting and planning right now - I've got to make sure I do something big."
