No, Mariah Carey is not referencing post-hardcore act Circa Survive’s seminal 2007 effort On Letting Go with the artwork for her latest single “Almost Home”. It’s a tie in to Oz the Great and Powerful, the The Wizard of Oz prequel starring James Franco and the film for which this effort from Carey was commissioned.

But enough joking around. “Almost Home” is a fine return to form for Carey. The Stargate-produced beat provides a slick, melodic foundation for Carey and her stellar vocals. The cut bumps and twinkles without ever getting in the way of Carey’s pipes. The fact that “Almost Home” has a certain earwormy quality to it is just the icing on the cake.
