According to reports Wednesday, Carey and the music manager parted ways over "hectic" schedules, reported Showbiz411.

Furthering rumors of Carey's departure from Jackson, the iconic singer just released a new single "Beautiful" through Red Light Management, the same powerhouse company that represents artists such as Alicia Keys and Faith Hill.

However, Carey nor Jackson have acknowledged reports about their working relationship.

Meanwhile, Carey's new single has already made waves on social media sites following its release during "American Idol" on Wednesday. The song's release played a pivotal role in ratings for the reality television show, which competes with "The Voice."

The track features superstar singer Miguel and is said to be in the same vein of Carey's upcoming, yet-to-be-titled new album, which is rumored to have a release date in late June or early July.
