Mariah Carey has cooked up another sweet fantasy with “Sugar Sweet,” her latest single featuring Shenseea and Kehlani that dropped on Friday (July 25).
“Sugar Sweet” is the second single released ahead of Carey’s 16th studio album Here For It All, which drops Sept. 26 via gamma. In June, she shared the lead single “Type Dangerous,” as well as an accompanying remix EP featuring collaborations with Busta Rhymes, Method Man and Red Man; Big Sean; DJ Snake and Luísa Sonza. “Type Dangerous,” which samples Eric B. & Rakim‘s 1986 track “Eric B. Is President,” became her 50th Billboard Hot 100 hit, reaching No. 95. It also entered the top 10 of R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay.
At the start of this month, the elusive chanteuse revealed she had finished Here For It All during a sit-down interview with Zane Lowe and Ebro Darden at the new Apple Music Studios in Los Angeles during a special live broadcast to celebrate the streaming platform’s 10th anniversary. Mimi said she was “very excited” about “Sugar Sweet” because “it’s very summery. I like the beat as well.” She also revealed that Here For It All will feature 11 or 12 songs, including “some Mariah ballads.”
Here For It All will arrive seven years after her last studio album, Caution. The 10-track project featured collaborations with Ty Dolla $ign, Slick Rick and Blood Orange, and Gunna. It reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and earned MC her eighth No. 1 project on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
