Mariah Carey is set to release a new album, her first in nearly seven years. The announcement comes with the release of her new single, "Type Dangerous." The song showcases Carey's signature vocal range and features a sample from Eric B. & Rakim's 1987 track "Eric B. Is President."
The song's intro includes a 23-second sample of Eric B.'s voice over a dry beat. Carey's lyrics exude confidence, referencing her past successes and the anticipation surrounding her new music. The official music video is expected soon, but a lyrics clip is currently available.
"Type Dangerous" marks Carey's return as a solo artist since her 2018 album, "Caution." The new track features collaboration with Anderson .Paak. Throughout her career, Carey has collaborated with numerous prominent artists, including Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, and Whitney Houston.
