It’s been 7 years since fans have been blessed with new music from Mariah Carey, and we’re dying for a taste. Other than remixes, her latest 20th anniversary reissue of “The Emancipation Of Mimi (20th Anniversary Edition)” and defrosting herself with her acclaimed Christmas hit “All I Want For Christmas Is You”, has the Pop-R&B legend herself finally been brewing in the studio?
On 2nd June 2025, Mariah Carey dropped a mysterious teaser on her socials about a new music video titled, “What’s Your Type”. The 56-year-old artist also inserted the hashtag, #MC16, which is obviously a hint that a new album is on the way. Here’s what we know so far:
The 21-second clip showed the vocal legend herself in a sleek black convertible decked in bling. She changes the radio from her song “It’s Like That” to a track with a dance-pop beat called “T:D_MC16.mp3”. Listening carefully to the noise in the background, there’s a faint voice saying, “To show my appreciation for your support, thank you, DJs”.
Aligning with current pop trends, could this be a Mariah club-centred era? Fans are clearly excited for her return, with buzz igniting in the comment section of her socials with fans cheering on the teaser. User @/drteddysim commented, “MC16!!! Gotta text this morning about this and it’s all the buzz now“. Fans have also pointed out the sample tune of the title track, with user @/eseperdeupelomundo commenting, “She’s using a sample of Paula DeAnda omg!! Clap Ta This“.
Apart from the teaser announcement of a new single and her 16th album, the release of the teaser also aligns with the announcement of her “The Celebration of Mimi” world tour, which started in May. Are you excited about Mariah’s new music?
