'WE DID THAT!!!!' the Jamaican singer wrote. 'Thank you @kehlani, I'm so happy for you, especially given your history!' Following this exciting collaboration, Carey is set to release her highly anticipated sixteenth studio album, 'Here For It All', which is scheduled to drop on September 26. 'Sugar Sweet' is her second single; it is a catchy, fun and flirtatious song that Carey, Kehlani, and Shenseea all bring their own unique style to it. While Kehlani's contribution adds soul, Shenseea brings her Caribbean vibe, and they all blend beautifully together. Carey first released 'Type: Dangerous' on June 6, which had fans excited over what's to come. The album comes after a nearly seven-year hiatus since her fifteenth studio album 'Cautious' in 2018. 'Here For It All' is described as a genre-bending collection that honours Carey's past sound while embracing the future, blending classic styles with fresh collaborations and modern touches to appeal to fans across all ages.

Mariah Carey Announces Release Date for 16th Studio Album, ‘Here For It All'
Mariah Carey is Here For It All. The pop icon announced the title and release date of her 16th album on Monday morning (July 21), revealing that the LP fans have been calling 'MC16' will drop on Sept. 26. The news came in a brief Instagram video in which MC flipped her hair back and walked slowly in shiny black leather high-heeled boots and black cat suit in front of a giant mural of herself, with the album title spelled out over and over in black and white behind her. It ended with a brief snippet of the title track in which Carey crooned, 'I'm here for it all!' The final image appears to be the album's cover picture, featuring a broadly smiling Carey, eyes closed, filling up most of the page, her hair blowing in the wind as she holds her left arm up to her cheek and her right hand up to her chest.
