Mariah Carey BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Mariah Carey is officially in the thick of one of the most significant and public phases of her career in years. In a move that’s dominating both industry headlines and fan social feeds, she announced the release date for her much-anticipated 16th studio album, Here For It All, landing September 26, 2025. According to IMDB and echoed by her own Instagram feed, Mariah previewed the title track for her followers, sparking immediate enthusiasm and some nostalgic buzz as she artfully teased her 2005 hit It’s Like That before launching into new material. In a revealing June interview, she confirmed this album is coming via a new multi-album deal with Larry Jackson’s Gamma, officially ending the long Sony Epic era that’s defined much of her career.
This rollout isn’t all about new music. In a conversation with 935 KDAY and trending widely on Twitter and TikTok, Mariah told fans not to expect a tour just yet, citing back-to-back tours over the past two years and the need to rebalance. However, fans will see her onstage at the MTV VMAs this Sunday, September 7, where she’ll be honored with the coveted Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award—a massive career milestone that also hints at a possible show-stopping medley performance. The announcement from MTV made big waves, as this will be Mariah’s first appearance at the show in 20 years and she’s also up for Best R&B with her single Type Dangerous, itself a notable Billboard Hot 100 return and a showcase of her staying power.
On the music side, fans got the complete 11-track listing via Mariah’s Instagram, spurring excited commentary, with standouts being collaborations with Anderson Paak on Play This Song, Shenseea and Kehlani on Sugar Sweet, and gospel icons The Clark Sisters on Jesus I Do. The new singles Type Dangerous and Sugar Sweet have already dropped, the former drawing buzz for its Eric B. & Rakim sample and status as her 50th Hot 100 entry. L.A. Reid is back as executive producer, marking a creative reunion dating to The Emancipation of Mimi. Across interviews and posts, Mariah calls the album her most personal in years, echoing themes of life, motherhood, and renewal.
Publicity has been relentless, with prime coverage in outlets like People, Harper’s Bazaar, and iHeartMedia hyping not just the music, but Mariah’s appearances at fan events like the iHeartRadio Music Festival later this month in Las Vegas. Socials are alive with Mariah memes, reactions to her slow-living diva routines, and anticipation for her next era. No major controversies or unconfirmed rumors are circulating, other than some fan speculation about a potential Paul McCartney cover, which remains unverified. For Mariah Carey, September is hers—and the industry is watching to see what long-term legacy this new chapter will cement.
