A new Mariah Carey song called "Almost Home" will hit the radio airwaves (as well as iTunes) on Tuesday. The track is from the movie Oz: The Great and Powerful, which is scheduled for a theatrical release on March 8. The song was co-written by Carey with Simone Porter, Justin Gray, Lindsey Ray and co-produced by Stargate. Carey is also working on a video with director David LaChapelle, which is expected to premiere in the coming weeks. "It's a feel-good record," the singer said in a statement announcing the tune. "It gives you the feeling of reaching your home and being with people that you love."

Britney Spears has revealed that she's working with "new inspiring producers" on her next album, according to Entertainment Weekly. Spears is working with beat-makers like Hit-Boy and will.i.am, who produced her Femme Fatale track "Big Fat Bass." A rep for Spears also told EW that the project is still in the planning stages, and despite rumors to the contrary, the singer has not worked with producer Elijah Blake.
Jay-Z is helping to score the film version of The Great Gatsby along with producer The Bullitts. Bullitts broke the news on Twitter, writing: "Jay-Z and myself have been working tirelessly on the score for the upcoming #CLASSIC The Great Gatsby! It is too DOPE for words!" Meanwhile, Jay brought in the new year by co-headlining the Barclays Center in Brooklyn with Coldplay. The British rockers played first, and then at 11:59 p.m., Jay came on stage to sing "Auld Lang Syne" with Chris Martin, before playing his own 90-minute set. Jay-Z also joined Coldplay on the song "Lost" during their set, and then Martin returned the favor when he sang with Jay during "Heart of The City."

After releasing an album internationally last year, Rita Ora will finally drop her U.S. debut album in 2013, and she promises that it will feature some of her Roc Nation family. "There's a few surprises. I don't want to give them away, but it's definitely in the Roc family," she told MTV News. "2013 is really important for me because it's gonna to be the first time the U.S. hears my official album and I wanted to put a few extra tracks on there and make it really special. So I'm basically giving you guys a whole new album of new material."
