While American Idol continues its downward spiral in ratings, it seems show judge Mariah Carey’s main hustle is experiencing an upswing. The celebrated award winning singer has released “Almost Home,” a Stargate produced track that is the lead single off the upcoming Disney motion picture Oz The Great and Powerful.
“‘Almost Home’ has a message that works beautifully with the film,” said Mariah. “It’s a feel-good record, evoking the feeling of reaching your home and being with people that you love.”
While Mariah is undoubtedly one of the most talented vocalist of the last few decades, this song falls flat and feels like it would fit better on—dare we say it—Rihanna.
Oz The Great and Powerful is inspired by L. Frank Baum’s 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and is set before the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. The film stars Michelle Williams, James Franco, Mila Kunis, and Rachel Weisz.
The song will be officially released on February 19.
