Mariah Carey 'enjoyed working with mother'

Mariah Carey has described the "lovely experience" of working with her mother on her latest album, and hopes to record more material with her in the future.

Patricia Carey - who usually performs opera - recorded vocals on her daughter's festive compilation Merry Christmas II You, on the tracks 'O Come All Ye Faithful' and 'Halleluiah Chorus'.

Mariah revealed to People that there may be more duets between the pair in the future: "Many people know that my mother is a trained opera singer, so I guess it was only a matter of time before we both got onto a record together.

"It was a lovely experience being in the studio together, and I'm very happy that I have this documented for the rest of my life."
