Mariah Carey back with new song Type Dangerous as she readies 16th studio album
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.

A rising voice in Australian R&B, RIAH's sound is as diverse as her upbringing
Introduced to wider audiences with her stirring track 'Motherslove', Sydney-based R&B artist RIAH has landed on our radars as one to watch. Of Tongan, Fijian, Aboriginal and Italian heritage, RIAH was raised on a rich blend of cultures and as a result a wide variety of music. Named after an R&B icon, RIAH's love for the genre runs deep: from the unmistakeable tones of Aaliyah and the impactful theatrics of Michael Jackson's artistry, through to modern stars including H.E.R., Summer Walker and more, RIAH has been influenced by artists who themselves refused to play within the borders of expectation. Though her body of work is still growing, RIAH's vault of music yet to be released is extensive - as 2025 continues to roll out, listeners can expect to hear more from this exciting talent, taking strides forward with her sound. Her namesake, Mariah Carey, would be proud.

Mariah Carey has finished recording her new album
Mariah Carey has confirmed she's finished work on her new album. 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 smaples 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.
