After going nearly 7 years without dropping an album, the pop superstar appeared to tease social media that she has a new LP in the works.
In a video posted on June 2nd, Mariah is sitting in a car, listening to music on the radio. The video then cuts to a shot of the screen displaying an untitled track — “T:D_MC16.mp3.” The teaser, which hints at a dance floor-friendly direction, marks Carey’s first preview of new material since her 2018 album Caution.
While no official title or release date has been confirmed, the “MC16” label has fans and industry watchers assuming it’s her next full-length project. No further details have been shared about collaborators or a tracklist for “MC16,” but the teaser suggests Mariah Carey is leaning into a new era.
Carey’s last studio album featuring original music, Caution, was released in 2018.
