John Legend and Mariah Carey to collaborate on Christmas song

Fans of John Legend and Mariah Carey are in for a threat this Christmas as the two team up together to make some beautiful music. They will be releasing a remix of Carey’s song When Christmas Comes, which was released on her holiday album Merry Christmas II You. This album was originally produced by The Roots’ James Poyser and released in 2010. Carey and Legend have been working on their collaboration and Carey gave fans a sneak peek at the video over her Twitter feed. This features her lip-syncing to her own song, sung by Legend, that is playing from the radio of the car, as she rides through a snowy landscape.

This collaboration is sure to get fans excited about the festive period. There is nothing better than having your favourite artists coming together to make this season extra special. Many people will be waiting eagerly for this release and will be anticipating being able to listen to it while playing party poker or even decorating the tree for Christmas. With the smooth, silky voice of Legend and the power that Carey provides, this song is set to provide exciting listening, for chilled-out train journeys and energetic Christmas parties.

As well as combining her talents with John Legend, Carey is also set to release a song with Justin Bieber. This will be the traditional Christmas song, All I Want For Christmas Is You and there will also be a video to go with it. These coming new releases are promising to be very exciting and to provide us with some great listening for Christmas time. Part of the fun of the festive period is being able to enjoy songs and music that all instil a certain feeling of warmth and excitement in us.

Music Addikts is the premier social group dedicated to bringing together soul, R&B and independent music lovers from all over the world. “Hi, my name is [Insert your name here] and I am a Music Addikt. What AA does for alcoholics, Music Addikts does for music fans. Music Addikts is an online community of individuals addicted to music – all genres and artists. Music Addikts is for those that live and breathe music. It is a place where true music fans can give their real, authentic, true, unfiltered and unbiased opinions about the music they love. The community feeds its addiction by frequenting shows and concerts taking its addikts wherever it goes. “Concerts and shows. It’s what we do.” My name is soulHIGH and I’m a Music ADDIKT.

(singing) “If there’s a cure for this, I don’t want it…don’t want it. If there’s a remedy, I’ll run from it…from it. Think about it all time, never let it out of mind…cause I love you…” Oh, I’m sorry…please forgive me; sometimes I can get a little carried away. LOL! Hi, my name is Uni-Verse-SOUL and I am a certified Music ADDIKT. Studies have been conducted and research has shown that most addikts were introduced to their drug of choice by those closest to them and I am not an exception. Music was injected in my veins at a very early age. You see, on any given day in my house (not just on Saturdays), you would be greeted by the sweet sounds of Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan or Anita Baker or the funky rhythms of the Ohio Players, New Birth, Parliament or Ashford & Simpson. I could easily find me dancing in front of the mirror with my hair brush in hand, singing at the top of my lungs “And now were solid…solid as a rock.” I coveted my parents’ record collection as if it was my own and I would sit in the living room for hours just listening to music. When I entered into my teenage years and got my first job, I spent my entire first paycheck at Turtles Record store…yea I knew that this addiktion was serious. For me, music is indeed the Uni-Verse-SOUL language that unites us all regardless of race, gender or religion. I have met some of the dopest people and have established great friendships because of the love we share for music. You can find me floating through ATL listening to anyone from Betty Carter to Radiohead…from Madlib to Rachmaninoff. I may even take a spontaneous trip out of town to see my favorite artist/musician perform LIVE….yes it is not a game. So, I’m telling you upfront that I don’t want or need an intervention…a cure or a remedy….so don’t even waste your time because (singing) “I got the sweetest hangover; I don’t want to get over….”

Every Month Music Addikts hosts a listening party and/or in-store featuring some of the hottest soul artists in the game. Click here to see flyers from some of our past events.

So which do you want first the good news or the bad news? We’ll give you the bad news first…

Unfortunately the track that Eric Roberson has been working hard on and was desperately hoping would make his upcoming album “Mr. Nice Guy?” can’t be put on the album because the sample wasn’t cleared. The upbeat, perfect for summer track features Chubb Rock and samples George Benson’s well known hit “Give Me The Night”. Now for the good news…free music!! Since it won’t make the album Eric, being the “nice guy” he is decided to give the track to his fans at a five finger discount, but also to release the track well before the August release date of his 7th solo album. So glad Eric decided not to put this one in the vault (wink, wink), never to see the light of day. Although summer hasn’t officially started “SummerTime Anthem” is sure to heat things up. So take a hit and stay HIGH!!
