June 6, 2025 – Radio 854 Newsroom

The Queen of Pop and R&B is back! Mariah Carey, one of the most iconic voices in music history, has made her highly anticipated return with a brand-new single titled “Type Dangerous.” The release marks the beginning of a new musical chapter as she gears up for her 16th studio album, set to drop later this year.

“Type Dangerous” is a sultry, mid-tempo track that blends classic Carey vocals with a fresh, modern production. The song explores themes of emotional risk, love’s unpredictability, and the allure of the wrong person — all wrapped in Mariah’s signature whistle tones and lyrical finesse. Fans have been praising the single online, calling it a “vintage-meets-now” moment that reaffirms her reign as a pop powerhouse.

Speaking about the track, Carey shared on social media: “This song is about those people we know we should stay away from — but something about them pulls us in. It’s a little dangerous… and a lot of fun.”

This release comes as Carey celebrates over three decades in the industry, with a legacy that includes 19 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 — the most for any solo artist in history. Her upcoming album, still untitled, is rumored to feature a mix of soulful ballads, hip-hop collaborations, and uptempo bops that promise to blend her timeless style with today’s chart-topping sounds.

Mariah last released a full-length studio album in 2018 with Caution, which received critical acclaim and reminded fans why her music remains essential across generations. With “Type Dangerous” already generating buzz, expectations are sky-high for what she has in store next.
