Mariah Carey drops first solo music in 6 years, Entertainment News
Mariah Carey has dropped her first solo music in six years, Type Dangerous.
After teasing fans about her 16th studio album with a glamourous sports car teaser on social media, fans have been given the first taste of what's to come.
Type Dangerous samples legendary hip-hop trio Eric B. and Rakim's 1986 cut Eric B. Is President.
In a statement, Mariah said of her return: "I've been locked up in the studio for quite some time working my behind off on new music, and I'm thrilled for the unveiling of it to my fans, starting with Type Dangerous!" View this post on Instagram

Mariah's new album will mark her first since 2018's Caution.
The new song comes after Anderson Paak recently revealed he's 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 the 56-year-old star's 1996 track Always Be My Baby.
Anderson — who was wearing a T-shirt featuring 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."
The pair hooking up in the studio comes after the pair were romantically linked in March 2025 when they were seen holding hands after the iHeartRadio Music Awards and were also spotted leaving a restaurant together around the same time.
Last year saw Mariah celebrate 20 years since the release of her Emancipation of Mimi album.

A day in the life of Qodrat 2's special effects make-up artist
Perceived as the dark underbelly of the beauty industry, horror prosthetics reveal the artistry—and often emotional toll—behind transforming faces into nightmares. Although horror is arguably the most revered genre in Indonesian cinema, it is striking how small the field of special effects make-up remains. Not too long ago, Cherry Wirawan was one of only two make-up artists in Indonesia specialising in this field. Now, with a team of talented professionals by his side, his vision is pushing new frontiers. His most recent project, the portrayal of the demon As-suala in Qodrat 2 , was brought to life through time and considerable teamwork. Creating prosthetics extends beyond visual effects, bleeding into the creation of immersive experiences that linger with audiences long after the credits roll. As the demand for complex storytelling grows, so too does the need for innovation in special effects make-up; an art form steadily gaining traction in Southeast Asia, thanks in no small part to pioneers like Cherry who are reshaping its possibilities. Below, Cherry takes us through a day in his life of blood, sweat, and gore. View this post on Instagram A post shared by cherry (@cherrywirawan) Tell us about your creative process. Before my team and I execute any look, we always consult with the director and creative team. It starts with the script—understanding the story and tone—then we gather references and develop concept sketches. Creatively, I draw inspiration from everywhere; YouTube, films, anything that grabs my attention. I often look to classics like Mrs. Doubtfire, Jurassic Park, and other Hollywood landmarks. Prosthetics have been evolving in the West since the early 1900s. Indonesia is just catching up, which leaves plenty of room for reinvention. With Qodrat 2 , we designed As-suala's look based on a set of agreed references , detailing aspects such as hair, texture, colour, and facial features. Once I've refined the reference material, I begin sculpting with clay to visualise the final look. View this post on Instagram A post shared by cherry (@cherrywirawan) What sets special effects make-up artists apart from other make-up artists? As special effects make-up artists, we can't just purchase our tools or materials at any cosmetics shop. Cosmetic latex and silicone aren't your average make-up bag staples—they require precision, patience, and a great deal of trial and error to master. The prosthetics also have to be hyper-realistic. The colours, facial expressions, and even the eyes must match the actor's perfectly. That realism doesn't just rely on how the prosthetics are made—it's also about how they're applied. Moisturiser might be your skin's best friend, but it can spell disaster for prosthetics. It's best to avoid skincare or skin prep products altogether—they interfere with the prosthetics' durability and can ruin the final look. View this post on Instagram A post shared by cherry (@cherrywirawan) What is the energy like on set? For my current project, I'm working on replica faces of characters so we can shoot scenes of people being maimed. Everyone on the team has a specialised role—some sculpt, some punch hair. It's all very collaborative. However, working in this space means that intense, occasionally disturbing visuals constantly surround us. One time during dinner, there was a fake skinned face on the table. Someone joked, 'This looks delicious!' We were laughing and gagging at the same time. Humour helps. If we didn't joke around, the sheer intensity of the work would be hard to handle. View this post on Instagram A post shared by cherry (@cherrywirawan) How do you cope with the intensity of your work? After an entire day surrounded by horrific, gore-soaked scenes, you need a way to reset. I ground myself through physical activity—working out, walking in nature, or just spending time with loved ones. But more than anything, I keep in touch with my faith and maintain my grounding. That grounding becomes a necessity when the line between real and surreal starts to blur—friends who visit my home or workshop often say the atmosphere gives them chills, as though there are spirits around. Some even refuse to come inside. But for us, it's just another day at work. Perhaps we're used to it. Only God knows. Above all, what keeps me going is originality and the chance to bring my ideas to fruition every day. There's nothing more fulfilling than having your work recognised as truly yours. I want to be different, but I don't set lofty expectations—I just want to keep improving. That's my mindset: Just keep growing.

Sabrina Carpenter to release album titled Man's Best Friend on Aug 29, Entertainment News
Sabrina Carpenter will release the album Man's Best Friend on August 29. The prolific pop star is set to release the follow-up to Short n' Sweet almost exactly a year later. Sabrina shocked fans by standing on all fours in front of a man pulling her hair on the racy artwork, with the cover dividing opinion. However, one fan defending the Espresso hitmaker suggested she was poking fun at the fact people said: "she's for the male gaze". They wrote on X: "I've already seen enough so i gotta explain this cover cuz apparently y'all are acting dense: 'Man's Best Friend' is a phrase referring to a DOG. Sabrina is obviously portraying it on the cover referring to how all of you said she's for the "male gaze". This is how YOU see her. (sic)" The album will include the lead single, Manchild, which upon its release, Sabrina thanked "men for testing me". The 26-year-old singer explained that Manchild — which she co-wrote with Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen — is "the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life". She penned on Instagram upon the song's release: "I wrote manchild on a random Tuesday with Amy and jack not too long after finishing short n' sweet and it ended up being the best random Tuesday of my life "Not only was it so fun to write, but this song became to me something I can look back on that will score the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life. "It sounds like the song embodiment of a loving eye roll and it feels like a never-ending road trip in the summer! hence why i wanted to give it to you now- so you can stick your head out the car window and scream it all summer long! "Thank you always and forever for listening." There has been much speculation about which of her exes the song is about, with Saltburn actor Barry Keoghan's name mentioned a lot. Sabrina's Grammy-winning Short n' Sweet album was followed by February's deluxe edition, which featured a duet of Please Please Please with Dolly Parton and a new song called Busy Woman.
