Mariah Carey: 'I feel very under pressure to finish recording my new album'

Vocal superstar Mariah Carey has admitted that her forthcoming new album is starting to stress her out because it is meant to be finished "earlier than mid-summer".

During an interview with Ryan Seacrest, she explained that the supposed date of completion is very soon and the pressure is building because she isn't sure if the record will be done by then:

"Probably we're talking about earlier than mid-summer, which is a lot of pressure on me because I want these last few records to be just as good as the first records I started."

Yesterday (May 6), the hitmaker unveiled her new single '#Beautiful', which is a collaboration with Miguel, and she added that working with him felt very natural as they were very 'in tune' with each other in the studio:

"We got together, he had starting writing this song with just the guitar riff. And I have to say this about him as a collaborator, sometimes when you haven't worked with somebody you don't know really what they do in the studio... And if they have the same kind of love for music that I have... And he's the truth. We just wanted to do something different that has a texture that feels fresh."

The official music video for '#Beautiful' will premiere tomorrow during 'American Idol'.
