Mariah Carey announced via her Twitter page (as she’s been doing so often lately) that her first single from her forthcoming album, Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel is titled “Obsessed” and will debut next Tuesday, June 16th.

On her Twitter page, Mariah describes the single as a “fun, uptempo song for the summer.” She neglected to mention any producers, but I’m sure that she’s not steering clear of the formulas that made Emancipation of Mimi a success, or the songs that people enjoyed from her last effort, E=MC².

I’m expecting some production and writing from Tricky Stewart and The Dream, considering the success she garnered from “Touch My Body.”

Pharrell Williams recently sat down with Billboard.com for an interview, where he released some news about Usher’s new album, which we’ve learned will drop later this year, with the title Monster.

“The Usher album is crazy. His album is the review of the mind of a monster,” Pharrell said.

“He’s somewhere else right now… like a whole different kind of R&B,” he added. “It’s really great, it’s super edgy. He’s taken a lot of time to really sit and study and we really built something that is like… it’s just–it’s mean.”

In addition to working with Pharrell, Usher has also got some tracks from Bangladesh, and is rumored to be going into the studio with Timbaland and Danjahandz. Pharrell is currently working on Rihanna’s hotly anticipated fourth LP, as well as new music for his band, N.E.R.D. and The Clipse.

Jordin Sparks reveals the album cover for her sophomore set, Battlefield. The Idol winner is gearing up to release her second album on July 21st.

On the album, Jordin has worked with Jesse McCartney, Toby Gad, Max Martin, Ryan Tedder and a rumored duet with British starlet, Leona Lewis.
