Mariah Carey’s New Video for “Almost Home” From Disney’s Oz The Great And Powerful
Disney has just announced that multiple GRAMMY® Award–winning superstar Mariah Carey has recorded the song “Almost Home” for Oz The Great and Powerful, the studio’s highly anticipated fantastical adventure, directed by Sam Raimi, released in theaters nationwide on March 8, 2013.
“Almost Home” was released as a single by Carey’s label, Island Def Jam, on February 19, 2013. Award-winning photographer/director David LaChapelle will direct Carey in the upcoming 
music video for the track. The two long-time collaborators are reuniting in what LaChapelle describes as “a duet between Mariah and the movie.” LaChapelle previously photographed Carey for album covers and directed her in the music video “Loverboy.” Disney, Carey and Island Def Jam plan to launch a promotional campaign to support the single, the video and the film.
“‘Almost Home’ has a message that works beautifully with the film,” Mariah Carey says of the song she co-wrote and co-produced for Oz The Great and Powerful. “It’s a feel-good record; it gives you the feeling of reaching your home and being with people that you love.”
Mariah Carey is the best-selling female artist of all time with more than 200 million albums sold to date and eighteen Billboard #1 singles (seventeen self-penned). With her distinct five-octave vocal range, prolific songwriting, and producing talent, Carey has defined the modern pop performance. As a singer/songwriter/producer, she has been recognized with five GRAMMY® Awards, nine American Music Awards, Billboard’s Artist of the Decade Award, the World Music Award for World’s Best Selling Female Artist of the Millennium, and BMI’s Icon Award for her outstanding achievements in songwriting, to name just a few of her accolades. Carey is currently working on her new studio album to be released this spring.
