The potentially song teases the pop diva’s 16th studio album
Mariah Carey has released a new single, “Type Dangerous.” The song is the pop singer’s first new release in several years, with her most recent album, Caution, arriving in 2018. The track presumably teases her next LP.
“Looking for the dangerous type,” she croons on the upbeat number. “I like them dangerous/ That’s my type/ I said I love them dangerous.”
Carey has been teasing new music on social media all week, including clips from the official lyric video for “Type Dangerous.” In one clip, the singer is seen listening to a mysterious track called “T:D_MC16.mp3.” Her car’s license plate reads: MC16. Both likely reference her 16th studio album being on the way.

Carey recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of her album The Emancipation of Mimi with The Emancipation of Mimi (20th Anniversary Edition) and an additional digital deluxe edition. “When you sit down and go through the whole Emancipation of Mimi as an album, and go, ‘Some of these songs were a little bit more that way or a little bit more this way,’ it’s just really interesting,” Carey told Rolling Stone last year as she prepared to kick off her Las Vegas residency. “I love the album so much that it’s hard to pick it apart and go, ‘Oh, I like this part less than I like that part.’ It really is one unit.”
The singer released Caution, her 15th LP, in 2018. In a review, Rolling Stone called it “thrillingly current without swallowing Carey’s charm.”
