How do you solve a problem like Mariah?

By completely remixing your rather-less-successful-than-anticipated album, that's how!

Numerous sites have been reporting that Mariah Carey's 12th studio album 'Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel' will be going in for a re-swizz and re-package less than one week after it's -eventual- release!

Mimi's latest offering has been something of a comedown after the successful return to music she enjoyed with 2005's 'The Emancipation of Mimi' and 2008's follow-up 'E=MC2', failing to meet the chart-topping success of both of these number one albums and stalling at number three last week behind Paramore and Barbara Streisand.

To be fair this whole project has been dogged with problems and issues ranging from the infamous 'buzz single' cover-up for initially-underperforming-but-eventually-climbing first single 'Obsessed' to the less than stellar performance she gave on one of last month's editions of America's Got Talent. So, to somewhat combat some of this negativity, super-producers Trey Songz and Tricky Stewart have announced that they will heading into the studio to remix every song on 'Memoirs', raising the tempo on some of the slowies ('I Wanna Know What Love is') and maybe even guesting on it themselves! (yay?)

Tricky says; 'I’m actually doing some remixing myself currently ’cause some of these records were so much fun to make. It’s easy to go in and do a remix. I’mma try to make it into something else.' (Is that not simply admitting it isn't that good?!)

Trey ads 'I actually only had a day to do it. I did it on my day off. [They were] very professional, very adamant on wanting to get it done. They made sure we had all we needed. I just went in and got it done.'

Sounds interesting to say the least -if not a little rushed. Another day another drama for this turbulent campaign!
