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."

Mariah Carey announces new album Here For It All, Entertainment News
Mariah Carey has announced her new album, Here For It All. The 56-year-old pop diva will share her first album since 2018's Caution with the world on Sep 26, 2025. She captioned a teaser clip on Instagram on Monday (July 21): "Here For It All, my new album out 9/26. Pre-order now!" It will include the previously released lead single, Type Dangerous. On July 20, Mariah posted a video that celebrated her albums, beginning with MC1 — her 1990 self-titled debut LP — through to Caution. At the end of the 37-second video montage, the Obsessed hitmaker displayed the text "MC16", and on X, the clip showed the title "MC16 - Announcement Tomorrow". On her Instagram Stories, Mariah posted the same clip, but with a frozen countdown ticker, which displayed "19:06:42". View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mariah Carey (@mariahcarey) The icon's tease of a new album came the day after she previewed the new single, Sugar Sweet. Mariah gave her fans a sneak peek into the light-hearted track — which features the lyrics: "Imma keep it nice, Imma keep it neat, Imma keep it sugar, Imma keep it sweet" — in a video of her baking something in a kitchen on July 19. In June, Mariah achieved an impressive milestone with one of her hit songs. Over 500 million people listened to 1995 track Fantasy on the music streaming platform, Spotify. Fantasy was Mariah's ninth Number One single on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and it spent eight weeks at the top from Sept 30 to Nov 18, 1995. It was also the first single, by a female artist, to debut atop the chart, and only the second single to do so after You Are Not Alone by Michael Jackson. Mariah has now got four songs that have reached this milestone, with the others being the 1994 holiday classic All I Want For Christmas Is You, which has been streamed over two billion times, 2005's We Belong Together, which has been listened to over 777 million times, and 2009's Obsessed, which has totted almost 600 million streams.
