Mariah Carey releases new single 'Type Dangerous,' confirms 16th album is coming
Mariah Carey is officially back. The singer has just released the new song she's been teasing online for several days -- "Type Dangerous" -- and it is indeed the lead single off her 16th studio album, which she also teased. The song samples the hip-hop classic "Eric B. Is President" by Eric B. & Rakim. Carey said in a statement, "I'm so excited to finally be releasing 'Type Dangerous' into the world! 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!'" Listen to the song here. The song begins with Carey saying, "To show my appreciation for your support, thank you, DJs," which echoes what a female voice says in the beginning of the Eric B. & Rakim song. As she says that, the sampled words "Make 'em clap to this" from "Eric B. Is President" play in the background. Elsewhere on the sassy track, Carey refers to various aspects of her life. "Taking off my coat, clearing my throat / Certified diamonds like the songs I wrote," she says in one line. In another, she croons, "Fresh outta Sing Sing, nah, I'm just playin' / That was just a castle and an evil king," an apparent reference to her former husband Tommy Mottola and the 51-acre estate they shared in Bedford, New York, which she jokingly called Sing Sing after the infamous maximum-security prison in Ossining, New York. A video for the song is set to arrive soon, directed by Joseph Kahn, who was behind the camera for her hit "All I Want for Christmas Is You" video.

Mariah Carey drops first solo music in 6 years
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!" 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. [[nid:718753]]
