Mariah Carey has finished recording 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.
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 to release new album Here For It All in September
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 September 26. She captioned a teaser clip on Instagram on Monday (21.07.25): "Here For It All [butterfly emoji] My new album out 9/26 [butterfly emoji] 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". 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 September 30 to November 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.

Mariah Carey teases details of long-awaited album
Mariah Carey has teased that details of her long-awaited new album will be announced on Monday (21.07.25). The 56-year-old pop icon took to social media over the weekend to reveal that more information about MC16, her untitled 16th studio album, is imminent. On July 20, Mariah posted a video that celebrated her albums, beginning with MC1 - her 1990 self-titled debut LP - through to 2018's MC15, known as 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". 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 the R+B-and-pop star's 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 September 30 to November 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. Fantasy - which was written by Mariah, Steven Stanley, Adrian Belew, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth and Dave Hall - is about how a woman is in love with a man, and every time she sees him, the woman fantasises about being in a relationship with him. Mariah, 56, said in a recent interview that she was surprised by how many people resonated with Fantasy. Speaking to 98.5 KRZ in June, she said: "A lot of people, they didn't think I should do that song. And why would I work with O.D.B.? Because they didn't understand that was my choice. "And, anyway, it ended up being one of my favourite - one of my biggest songs ever." 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.

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.
