Mariah Carey revealed that her upcoming album will be released in July.
The star took to Twitter to announce the release details, before posting a Behind The Scenes video for the making of her awesome new single '#Beautiful'.
Carey tweeted simply: "The New Era Begins.. #MC723."
'#Beautiful', featuring Miguel, debuted during the semi-finals of American Idol US, on which Mariah appeared as a judge on the panel alongside Nicki Minaj.
The video was directed by Joseph Khan, who has previously worked with Kylie Minogue, Maroon 5 and Nicole Scherzinger, among others. '#Beautiful' shows Mariah on a motorcycle with Miguel, and later dancing for him in front of a car while he sits and watches.

Carey's upcoming album will be the follow-up to 2009's Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel.
Speaking about the album to Billboard in March, Mariah said there are a "lot more raw ballads than people might expect," and added, "wherever we go with this project, I've tried to keep the soul and heart in it."
