Mariah Carey latest single "Almost Home" from the forthcoming film Oz The Great and Powerful has been released. Listen to it inside....

Our fave snappy songstress Mariah Carey has just released her latest track “Almost Home.” It's a generic mid-tempo ballad that's supposed to uplift....but it doesn't get good until nearly three minutes into the track when Mariah unleashes "the voice."

The track was co-written by Mariah and Simone Porter, Justin Gray, and Lindsey Ray and produced by Stargate. Fashion photographer David LaChapelle has signed on to direct the video which will drop March 8....the same day the movie Oz The Great and Powerful hit theaters. The new MC single leads the film's soundtrack.

Listen to "Almost Home" below:

I absolutely

I absolutely luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv the track. I Think its great that in the begining she sounds so different, I love it when she uses her full low register and mid registers. Her voice sounds amazing, different, fresh, powerful. I love the begining of the song. No singer belts from the begining. This contrast is what makes this track great! I just luv it! I think this is Mariah at her best vocally since the mid 90s!

i love mariah, i truly do and i have since 1991..but this song is not doing it for me. she could have hit them with a little "Through the Rain" type song and killed it.

The song doesn't get good

The song doesn't get good until Mariah Carey starts belting? What kind of sense does that make? Was there any thought even put into that writing? What singer belts the entire way? It isn't classical opera. It's a damn pop song. Lets just discard the words and have her adlib the entire way through, okay? Smh.

Now can you blame this kind

Now can you blame this kind of talent for being offended by sharing the same stage judging talent as that Gimmick Garbaj character?

I like it the more I listen

I like it the more I listen to it. The beginning sounds overly auto-tuned and I know Mariah is better than that. Glad it picks up toward the end. But overall, I really really like it!
