Mariah Carey Completes 16th Album, Plans Second Single

Mariah Carey has completed her 16th studio album, which contains 11 or 12 songs including some of her classic ballads, according to her recent interview celebrating Apple Music's 10th anniversary. The album follows her 2018 release, 'Caution,' marking a significant return with new music after several years primarily focused on anniversary reissues and collaborations. Carey released the lead single 'Type Dangerous,' which samples Eric B. & Rakim's 1986 track 'Eric B. is President,' inspired by a moment in a restaurant where the song played. She is excited about the upcoming second single, describing it as 'very summery' with a beat she likes. While she did not reveal the album's title or release date, she teased that the album is on its way and fans can expect a mix of upbeat and ballad tracks. The new album is highly anticipated as Carey's first new solo music in years.
