 Mariah Carey BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Mariah Carey is making headlines again as she launches what insiders and fans are calling her most ambitious musical era in over a decade. Nearly seven years since her last studio album, the singer has just dropped the lead single Type Dangerous from her upcoming sixteenth album and debuted it live at the BET Awards. That night marked a major milestone as she accepted the BET Ultimate Icon Award, sharing the spotlight with the likes of Jamie Foxx and Snoop Dogg. According to Us Weekly, the new single and a high-profile performance at the show have set the industry abuzz, with executive producer L.A. Reid revealing to Forbes that Mariah is making a bold move by releasing her first project with Gamma, an independent label helmed by Larry Jackson. The upcoming album, still untitled, is being widely described as a game-changer for both Mariah and the independent label model.

Last Friday, Mariah released the anticipated music video for Type Dangerous, directed by Joseph Kahn, which caused a stir partly due to a surprise cameo appearance by YouTube phenomenon MrBeast, as What’s Trending recapped. The video and the single are already being seen as the opening volley in what Mariah’s team hopes will be her most successful chapter since 2005’s The Emancipation of Mimi.

Tour news is also heating up. Mariah has confirmed new Asia tour dates for her Celebration of Mimi tour, celebrating twenty years since the release of her landmark album The Emancipation of Mimi. The tour kicked off with shows in Shanghai in May and will continue through November with additional planned stops in Bangkok, Manila, Kobe, and Yokohama. To coincide, she’s released a massive 5LP vinyl box set and an expanded digital edition of the album, complete with never-before-heard tracks and fresh remixes, as reported by uDiscoverMusic.

Longtime fans have reason for extra excitement as Carey told Rolling Stone she’s working to finally release her secret 1995 alt-rock album, Someone’s Ugly Daughter, with hints at a new collaboration built around the project.

On the personal and social media front, Mariah has been noticeably absent from posting full-body images on her accounts recently. According to reports from Telegraph, she’s undergone weight loss surgery in the past month and is waiting for results to show before returning to social media with new photos. Despite these tabloid stories, Mariah’s camp has not issued official confirmation.

Coming up, Mariah will headline the iHeartRadio Music Festival this September in Las Vegas, sharing the bill with artists like Ed Sheeran and Lil Wayne. Hulu will stream the event live, making it accessible to fans everywhere. Despite the swirl of music, headlines, and speculation, Mariah seems laser-focused on solidifying her legacy for a new generation, determined to prove she’s much more than the Queen of Christmas.
