It is pretty typical now a days
to have your single leak out before release date and Mariah Carey's, Touch My Body off
her new album, E=MC2 is no acceptation. The shocking part of it is several more tracks have
been leaked online before the April 15th release date! Was it a
hacker, or paparazzi gone mad? No it was an ubber jealous hack...yes we are
talking about Ashley Simpson. KBS Radio says:
"Industry insiders believe Ashley Simpson's camp may be responsible for
leaking songs off Mariah Carey's new album in hopes of it creating less
competition for the 23-year-old, whose album drops a week after the
record-setting "diva." A source told MSNBC, "Joe Simpson has
every right to be nervous about Ashley going up against Mariah. They are backed
into a corner with this release date since they already changed it once. Their
only option in fighting the Mariah machine would be to create a way to make the
album's release less newsworthy."...Simpson's Bittersweet World was
originally set to be released in late 2007, but at the last minute was pushed
back to April 22, 2008."
