Mariah Careys week has been pure headline gold with a whirlwind of new music, high-profile public appearances, and more than a little social buzz. The top story is the official announcement of her sixteenth studio album Here For It All which will release September 26 according to Good Morning America Harpers Bazaar and The Fader. This marks her first studio album in seven years since Caution and inaugurates her new multi-record deal with Larry Jacksons label gamma. The project boasts executive production from legendary L A Reid and features both Kehlani and Shenseea on the recently released summer track Sugar Sweet. The song dropped July 25 and immediately set off polarizing reactions online. According to The Fader and Harpers Bazaar, Sugar Sweet is a breathy R and B cut distinct from her earlier single Type Dangerous which sampled Eric B and Rakim. Despite the major rollout, critics such as Showbiz411 note the track feels unfinished with its chorus-heavy structure and an army of seven credited songwriters, including Carey herself. On iTunes the song debuted strong at number 5, but Twitter X reactions trended toward disappointment especially from longtime fans. Mariah’s rare sit-down on Jimmy Kimmel Live further fueled social media speculation about her appearance and energy with fans on sites like Instagram and Twitter alternately expressing concern and unwavering support. Footage and stills of Mariah onstage in a bold black bodysuit—a look straight from the Here For It All album cover—have been widely shared and discussed on her official Instagram as well as reposted by multiple pop culture accounts. Meanwhile, Mariah has been pushing exclusive alternate album covers, including an Amazon version teased to her millions of Instagram followers. Her ex Nick Cannon even popped up in her Instagram comments to throw in a public “Greatest of all time” shoutout. Business-wise no new commercial ventures have been announced this week though Rolling Out notes Mariah has used her years between albums to reinforce her Las Vegas residency and annual holiday concerts. Looking forward Carey is set for a major return to the festival stage at the upcoming 2025 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on September 19 and 20 a detail confirmed by Channel 955 and amplified by Instagram fan accounts. In summary, Mariah Carey has dominated July pop culture headlines with her return to the spotlight, but reactions to her new era are decidedly mixed, and the long-term legacy of Here For It All will depend on how fans and critics receive the full album this fall.
