Mariah Carey confirms she's finished work on her new album, Entertainment News
The Type Dangerous singer has been busy recording her upcoming 16th record — the follow-up to 2018's Caution — and she quoted her own 2005 song It's Like That to tease the new collection.
Speaking to Zane Lowe and Ebro Darden at the new Apple Music Studios during a live broadcast celebrating the steamer's 10th anniversary, she said: "I'm trying not to tell too much about the new album. 'It's a special occasion/ Mimi's emancipation' — that's a lyric from one of my songs.
"What is next? The album coming out. I don't wanna tell too much about it because I just don't want to reveal the whole thing. It's finished."
However, she did confirm the album has 11 or 12 songs, including some ballads.
She teased: "We got some Mariah ballads... A second single is coming soon.
"I'm very excited about it. It's very summery. I like the beat as well."
Last month, the All I Want For Christmas Is You hitmaker dropped new single Type Dangerous, which samples Eric B. and Rakim's 1986 song Eric B. Is President.
During the live broadcast, she explained: "I've always loved Eric B. Is President. It wasn't something like, 'Oh, I'm gonna flip this' — I just wouldn't think of doing it.
"But then we were in this restaurant in Aspen and they had different music on, and they played Eric B. Is President and I was like, 'Oh my gosh! I love this song!'
"We ended up in the studio a couple months later and we did it."
The new song came after Anderson.Paak recently revealed he'd been working on new music with Mariah.
The 39-year-old singer-and-producer let the news slip while appearing on social media series Track Star — where guests try to identify mystery songs — and he correctly guessed her 1996 track Always Be My Baby.
Anderson — who was wearing a T-shirt with Mariah's face — said: "This would be Mariah Carey. The Mariah Carey.
"I remember in like 5th grade, or something, watching the music videos and having a huge crush. We're working on some music on her new album."
