Mariah Carey BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Mariah Carey has been making serious headlines over the past few days, blending her signature mix of high-glam pop culture spectacle and business savvy with a new wave of creative momentum. The music world is buzzing after she dropped an eye-catching teaser for her next single, Sugar Sweet, with Mariah herself starring in a video she shared on social media—think pink dress, kitchen fun, and an irresistible hook. The clip, posted July 19, is already igniting fan hysteria, as everyone anticipates this July’s song-of-the-summer contender. While there is still no official release date, Sugar Sweet is confirmed as the second single from her upcoming and long-awaited 16th studio album, her first since 2018’s Caution, which is already completed according to Carey herself in a recent Apple Music interview. Billboard and Parade have both echoed the excitement, noting that Mariah’s return to her pop roots is set to align perfectly with late-summer playlists.

Fresh music isn’t the only power move from Carey. Earlier this month, she sent fans into a frenzy by releasing a surprise remix EP for her recent single Type Dangerous, featuring a lineup including Method Man, Big Sean, DJ Snake, and Brazil’s Luísa Sonza. The remixes landed to strong online chatter, further cementing Mariah’s status as a queen of the musical reinvention cycle. Industry insiders, including That Grape Juice, are reporting that the full album rollout will happen via the hot new label Gamma, directed by Larry Jackson, with a possible slate of new collaborations in the works.

Business news has also swirled around Mariah this week, with Wonderwall and The Blast reporting she has finally reached a multi-million dollar settlement with her former fiancé, billionaire James Packer. After years of legal back-and-forth following their 2016 breakup, Carey is now said to be walking away with between 5 and 10 million dollars plus her prized 35-carat engagement ring, a resolution that adds a dramatic close to one of the more storied celebrity splits in recent memory.

On the touring front, Mariah announced a highly anticipated return to Japan for The Celebration of Mimi Tour, including shows in Kobe and Yokohama this fall—her first in Japan in seven years—tying in with anniversary milestones for her debut album, Daydream, and The Emancipation of Mimi, all major events in her career timeline according to Japan Travel.

Not to be outdone by her business or studio headlines, Carey’s inimitable public persona was once again on display during a red-carpet moment earlier this month, where her witty, slightly mysterious response to a reporter’s question about Jeff Bezos’ Venetian wedding sparked a round of viral reactions and glowing praise for her diva candor.

Social media is awash in the #SugarSweet and #TypeDangerous buzz, with fans and celebrity pages from the US to Thailand sharing Mariah’s posts and hyping her new era. All signals point to a dynamic new chapter for Mariah Carey—fresh music, lucrative business wins, world tour dates, and, as ever, a knack for capturing the spotlight on her own terms.
