Best Buy Canada interviewed Canadian co-writer of Mariah Carey’s ‘Almost Home’ Justin Gray. Please read abstract of from the interview relating to Mariah:
Chris – Best Buy: You’ve had the opportunity to work with artists like Joss Stone, John Legend, Spice Girl Emma Bunton and now, Mariah Carey. What was it like working with Mariah?
Justin: Surreal. Mariah is an artist that transcends pop music. She’s an iconic, globally recognized superstar and that changes your perspective. It almost makes everything seem downhill from this point, which I hope not. We didn’t get to be in the studio together, due to our schedules. With a film this caliber, in size, I wish it was as easy as sitting in a room and being creative together. A lot of people were involved, so there was a lot of back and forth. She was in New York, we were in LA, but it was extremely successful, on a creative level because everyone was on the same level.
