Mariah Carey sent fans into a frenzy this week with the arrival of her new single ‘Type Dangerous.’
The flavorsome cut serves as the first taste of the diva’s forthcoming sixteenth studio album.
Now, it has been confirmed that the project, which fans and the singer herself have codenamed ‘MC16.’ will arrive on new record label Gamma.
Full story below…
In a profile feature with Forbes, it is confirmed that Carey has inked a “multi-album” deal with the Larry Jackson-helmed imprint, which has earned $400 million investment from a range of entities, including Apple.
Speaking on signing with Gamma, which is home to the likes of Usher, Rick Ross, and Sexyy Red, Carey
“What Larry Jackson is building at Gamma is beyond music. It’s a cultural shift, and I’m excited to be part of something that honors legacy while pushing boundaries. This next chapter is about owning my narrative and creating freely on my own terms.”
Jackson said of his label’s legendary acquisition:
“It’s about unfinished business and it’s about independence. A lot of companies are really focused on frothy, viral, trendy, TikTok hits versus really understanding the art form of artist development and what it takes to work with a diva. And it takes having a different kind of master’s degree or a PhD to really understand exactly how to guide a career of that particular nature at this particular time.”
L.A. Reid, who is reuniting with Mimi to executive produce her yet-to-be-titled new LP, added:
“It is a game-changing moment because it’s one of our premier stars who has made a decision to join forces with an independent, self-contained company that is not associated with any of the major labels. It’s a game changer for both Gamma and Mariah.
I don’t have a crystal ball. But my intuition tells me that this one works. She’s fighting to stay contemporary. He’s fighting to stay contemporary, to be contemporary. I think it’s a win-win.”
Exciting times!
