Mariah Carey Seemingly Teases New Album, With Single Possibly Coming Really Soon
Mariah Carey is stepping into a new era. After going nearly seven years without dropping a proper album, the pop superstar appeared to tease on social media that she has a new LP in the works — and the first taste of it may be coming sooner than you think. In one video posted Monday (June 2), Mimi looks as glamorous as ever while sitting in a car, listening to a single with a groovy club beat on the radio. The video then cuts to a shot of the screen displaying an untitled track — 'T:D_MC16.mp3.' 'To show my appreciation for your support, thank you DJs,' Carey's smoky voice says as the track heats up.

The caption reads, 'What's your type?' — the same message that the video ends with. Based on the license plate, it looks like the Songbird Supreme is finally following up 2018's Caution, which was the 15th album in her discography — as in, her next LP will be her 16th, or 'MC16.' It would also appear that the first single could arrive Friday (June 6), based on another video Carey posted on Instagram one day after the first one. In the second clip, she sits again in a car while music plays on the stereo system, the engine loudly running before the shot cuts to a message reading, 'June 6.' Billboard has reached out to Carey's reps for comment. Though the 'Obsessed' singer has been active over the years with her yearly 'All I Want for Christmas' pushes, fans have been growing increasingly impatient for fresh music. Carey's last album, Caution, reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200, one of 18 top 10 entries she's scored on the chart over the course of her career. The new teasers come just a few days after Carey celebrated the 20th anniversary of one of her most iconic albums, The Emancipation of Mimi, which spent two weeks at No. 1 in 2005. To mark the occasion, she recently released a special multi-disc anniversary edition of the project, featuring remixes, bonus tracks, radio mixes and a cappella cuts compiled together in one place for the first time.

Almost two years on from their last tour of the country, Big Thief will be hitting the road for a newly-announced run of North American dates. Dubbed the Somersault Slide 360 Tour, the 20-date run of shows will launch in Sacramento, CA on Sept. 17 and traverse the U.S. and Mexico over the next two months before wrapping up in Houston, TX on Nov. 7. These dates also include a previously-announced performance at New York's Forest Hills Stadium in October.

'Somersault Slide 360 Tour will continue into 2026, and these shows that have just been announced are the first of more to come,' they explained. 'Keep those antennas at a clear diagonal.' The tour will be Big Thief's first run of American shows since 2023 when they were supporting their fifth album, Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You, released the year prior.

Big Thief Announce New Album, ‘Double Infinity'
More than three years on from their last studio record, New York trio Big Thief have detailed their sixth album, Double Infinity. Set for release on Sept. 5 via 4AD, Double Infinity serves as the follow-up to the band's Grammy-nominated album, Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You. Recorded at New York City's Power Station over the winter with longtime collaborator Dom Monks, the nine-track release arrived as the result of three weeks of marathon nine-hour sessions spent working with a tight-knit community of musicians.

The new record is also the first to be released by Big Thief as a trio, having announced the departure of longtime bassist Max Oleartchik in July 2024, citing 'interpersonal reasons' for his exit. Double Infinity's impending release is also the latest in a series of happenings for Big Thief and its associated members this year. In February, Big Thief unveiled a new L.A. wildfires benefit EP, with Passional Relations collecting some of their 'favorite unreleased songs' to aid relief for those impacted by the fires in Los Angeles. In late April, Lenker would release the Live at Revolution Hall album, while drummer James Krivchenia released the record Performing Belief in early May. Days later, the group would announce a run of North American tour dates, with the Somersault Slide 360 Tour set to launch in September. Big Thief first formed in 2015 following two years of Lenker and guitarist Buck Meek performing as a duo. Their debut album arrived in 2016, with their third album – 2019's U.F.O.F. – peaking at No. 142 on the Billboard 200. Their latest album, Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You, would reach No. 31, and receive a Grammy nomination for best alternative album, and best alternative music performance for second single, 'Certainty.'

Neil Young Invites Donald Trump to Summer Tour ‘If There Is Not Martial Law by Then'
As Neil Young prepares to tour the U.S. this summer, he's invited President Donald Trump to attend one of his shows as a way to remind him of 'American values.' Young's comments appeared in a new post on his Archives website on Monday (June 2), which saw him ruminating on the current state of affairs in the U.S. ahead of the launch of his North American tour dates in August. More from Billboard Jessie J Reveals 'Early Breast Cancer' Diagnosis: 'Cancer Sucks in Any Form' Big Thief Announce New Album, 'Double Infinity' Offset Deactivates Social Media Amid Ongoing Drama With Cardi B & Stefon Diggs 'Our country and our way of life, that which our fathers and theirs fought for, is now threatened by our government,' Young wrote. 'This is not what we voted for. This is our new reality. Our government is out of control, not standing for us. You can stand up for American values this summer, for our children and theirs. 'When I tour the USA this summer, if there is not martial law by then which would make it impossible, let's all come together and stand for American values,' he added. 'We will not be doing a political show. We will be playing the music we love for all of us to enjoy together. President Trump, you are invited. Come and hear our music just as you did for decades.' Young's invitation to Trump aligns with the President's previous comments about his fondness for the Canadian rocker's music. 'He's got something very special,' Trump told Rolling Stone in 2008, reflecting on his numerous times seeing Young in concert and having him perform at his casinos. 'I've met him on occasions and he's a terrific guy.' However, the pair have undeniably altered their opinions of each other since then, with Young having become increasingly more outspoken regarding Trump's policies since his first term as President. In April, Young had even noted that he feared constant criticism of Trump may result in a potential blacklisting from the country ahead of his upcoming tour dates. 'If the fact that I think Donald Trump is the worst president in the history of our great country could stop me from coming back, what does that say for Freedom?' Young mused. 'I love America and its people and its music and its culture.' More recently, Young labelled Trump 'out of control' in May after he made a Truth Social post which saw the POTUS describe Bruce Springsteen as 'highly overrated' and 'dumb as a rock,' while saying that Taylor Swift is 'no longer 'HOT.'' 'Bruce and thousands of musicians think you are ruining America,' Young wrote in response to Trump's comments. 'You worry about that instead of the dyin' kids in Gaza. That's your problem. I am not scared of you. Neither are the rest of us. You shut down FEMA when we needed it most. That's your problem Trump. STOP THINKING ABOUT WHAT ROCKERS ARE SAYING. Think about saving America from the mess you made.' Young is currently scheduled to launch his forthcoming tour with the Chrome Hearts in Rättvik, Sweden on June 18, with North American dates set to begin in Charlotte, NC on Aug. 8 Best of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits H.E.R. & Chris Brown 'Come Through' to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart

Big Thief Announce New Album Double Infinity, Due 5 September
Big Thief will release their sixth studio album, Double Infinity, on 5 September 2025. Today, Adrianne Lenker, Buck Meek and James Krivchenia share album opener, ' Incomprehensible '. Double Infinity is the follow-up to 2022's Grammy-nominated album, Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You, recorded last winter at the Power Station, New York City. For three solid weeks, the trio would ride bicycles on frozen streets between Brooklyn and Manhattan, meeting in Power's Station's warm wood-panelled room. Together with a community of musicians (Alena Spanger, Caleb Michel, Hannah Cohen, Jon Nellen, Joshua Crumbly, June McDoom, Laraaji, Mikel Patrick Avery, Mikey Buishas) they would play for nine hours a day, tracking together – simultaneously – improvising arrangements and making collective discoveries. Double Infinity was produced, engineered and mixed by longtime Big Thief collaborator Dom Monks. 'How can beauty that is living be anything but true?' Adrianne asks as she drives nose against the future with childhood mementos on 'Incomprehensible'. She understands, 'everything I see from now on will be something new.' The silver hairs on her shoulders are new as well. Yet fear of aging is cracked by proof. If a life is shaped by living, 'Let gravity be my sculptor, let the wind do my hair.' Being born, then staying a while, remains the greatest mystery. Adrianne claims her place and time. 'Incomprehensible, let me be.' Double Infinity will be released digitally and on cassette, CD, and standard black vinyl. Limited green and 'Sparkle' vinyl editions will be available via indie retailers and Big Thief/4AD webstores respectively. For pre-order information, head here.
