Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse

Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse is the fourteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey. The album was released on May 27, 2014 through Def Jam Recordings marking her last studio effort with the label. It features guest appearances from Nas, Miguel, Wale, and Fabolous. The deluxe edition of the album also saw appearances from Mary J. Blige and R. Kelly. Carey, Bryan Michael Cox and Jermaine Dupri served as executive producers on the album. The first half of the album's title derived from a self-portrait Carey drew as a young girl that she captioned "Me. I Am Mariah", while the latter half of the title is derived from a nickname.

Having been in development since 2011, Carey originally scheduled the album for release in 2012 under the title The Art of Letting Go. However, following the commercial failure of the single, "Triumphant (Get 'Em)", and the album's title leaking, the album was reworked and Carey recorded additional songs causing the release date to be pushed back multiple times throughout 2013 and early 2014.

Upon release, the album received generally positive reviews, and debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200, becoming her seventeenth top-ten album in the country. It also topped the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and reached top 15 in various countries including the UK, Spain, Canada, Italy, Australia and New Zealand. Carey promoted the album with several media appearances alongside The Elusive Chanteuse Show. Four singles were released from the album including "#Beautiful", "The Art of Letting Go", "You're Mine (Eternal)", and "You Don't Know What to Do".
