About Bobby A from United States: I have been a Lamb since 1990. I know Mariah. I love her music. I breathe her music.

Here For It All (109,891) by Bobby A from United States We have some dedicated Lambs on X doing all of the in depth research. I think the goal of HFIA was to collaborate with new songwriters and producers a genre blending album. Here is what I have found out on X: 1. New producers and songwriters - Roget Chahayed (Jack Harlow's First Class and Miguel's Skywalker), Bongo ByTheWay (Keyshia Cole's Vault and Jasmine Sullivan's Girl Like Me), Alissia Beneveriste (Mary J. Blige's Heart Without Heartbreak from her album Good Morning Gorgeous), Harv, Felisha Fury, Luke Milano, Kehlani, Mikkai Wesley Miller Rae Khalil, and Anderson .Paak. 2. Sugar Sweet ft. Kehlani and Shenseea - 3:42 song length - 07/25 3. The Stereotypes and Luke Milano have track 1. So you know it must be an uptempo banger. 4. The Clark Sisters collaboration is on track 10. I am disappointed that Twinkie Clark wasn't a part of the writing session. Hopefully, she is singing on the song. Mariah and Daniel Moore produced it. 5. There is a Paul and Linda McCartney cover. Maybe it's their song "Dear Boy". 6. There still may be track 12 on the U.S. CD and vinyl variants and track 13 on the Japanese edition.

Here For It All (109,884) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Great title. I too am concerned a bit about the date. The album was supposed to be a summery album so releasing it at the end of summer is interesting. It also has very few tracks like 11 if I'm not mistaken will they have to release more songs to tie up to the album release. I'm surprised it's not in August because that's perfect timing and doesn't she have some big shows lined up for August. Plus August wouldn't have too much competition. I'm sure they have a plan and I hope they stick to it and don't push it further that will kill momentum. I'm excited for Sugar Sweet next week and hope we have a solid music video and some fun remixes. (Monday 21 July 2025; 18:34)

Here For It All (109,873) by Bobby A from United States Here For It All will drop on 9/26. I love the album title and cover. It sums up MC's extraordinary career for the past 30 years. (Monday 21 July 2025; 16:06)

Sugar Sweet (109,866) by Bobby A from United States He said, "Mariah, Mariah" before he sang the Sugar Sweet snippet. After he sang, his facial expressions said Whoa. Then he said "I can not wait to hear this full thing." (Monday 21 July 2025; 02:40) this is a reply to message 109,864

Sugar Sweet (109,864) by Haiji from United States What did he say? Sorry, I don't have TikTok lol. (Monday 21 July 2025; 02:25)

The new finished snippet (109,860) by Bobby A from United States Terna, do you hear Kelly Rowland singing "sugar" at the end of the snippet? It sure does sound like her. (Sunday 20 July 2025; 23:10) this is a reply to message 109,856

The new finished snippet (109,856) by Terna from Nigeria I've heard that several times, nothing gets past me. This was actually a "wait a minute, that's Afrobeats" kinda moment, I didn't get it right away too. Haha. The song is such an earworm already, just this barely 10 seconds clip, even right from the acapella moment she did earlier on. Wow. (Sunday 20 July 2025; 22:26)

The new finished snippet (109,859) by Bobby A from United States You are on it for real. I can't wait to hear the full track to hear the intro, vocal layering and ad-libs. I wish you would give Kim Burrell's vocal runs your approval. Lol. I love her vocal runs. (Sunday 20 July 2025; 22:59) this is a reply to message 109,856

Album announcement tomorrow (109,858) by Bobby A from United States Here's the tea. I had been on X all morning looking for tea and MimiUpdates posted that she was sorry for asking MariahAlerts several times if we were getting any updates today. And just like magic 20 minutes later, MC posted on Instagram that an announcement was coming tomorrow at 10am eastern. (Sunday 20 July 2025; 22:54) this is a reply to message 109,855

Album announcement tomorrow (109,855) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Where did you get this info? Spill the tea. (Sunday 20 July 2025; 22:19)

Release date (109,857) by Bobby A from United States Someone explained it to me on X to give a single one full week on tracking. I think it used to be Monday or Tuesday years ago before streaming and iTunes took over. (Sunday 20 July 2025; 22:48) this is a reply to message 109,850

Release date (109,850) by Jamie from UK So they are saying SS will be released 25th July. Is there a reason things are only released on a Friday? (Sunday 20 July 2025; 20:07)

Album announcement tomorrow (109,852) by Bobby A from United States MC will reveal the details of her 16th studio album tomorrow at 10am eastern time. The wait is finally over. (Sunday 20 July 2025; 21:10)

The new finished snippet (109,851) by Bobby A from United States Terna, you have a very keen ear. After several listens, I can hear the influence of afrobeats now. (Sunday 20 July 2025; 21:07) this is a reply to message 109,832

The new finished snippet (109,832) by Terna from Nigeria Mariah on some Carribean Afro beats vibes? Oh wow she just posted it on IG. (Saturday 19 July 2025; 20:43)

Sugar Sweet (109,845) by Bobby A from United States We all feel this way. (Sunday 20 July 2025; 13:58) this is a reply to message 109,842

Sugar Sweet (109,842) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Yes. This song would be her 20 #1 single. The melody is catchy and talks about being in love and sexy. The album title should be "Sweet Soul 16". (Sunday 20 July 2025; 04:54)

Special guests (109,836) by Bobby A from United States I see your point, Bill. Well, it looks like Sugar Sweet will have all female guest artists. Kehlani posted MC's Sugar Sweet on her Instagram story today. It looks like she may be on the bop. Now if we get Mariah Carey ft. Kehlani and Summer Walker then I would be so happy. Five more days before we get the full track. (Sunday 20 July 2025; 01:41) this is a reply to message 109,824

Special guests (109,824) by Bill from the UK Just on point 1, do we? Were the Super Festive version of AIWFCIY and the cursed Why You Mad actually any good? Bieber is so 2010. (Saturday 19 July 2025; 15:45)

Sugar Sweet (109,827) by Bobby A from United States MC is getting ready to give us Honey 2.0 in 2025. I am trying to figure out if "nice" and "neat" are words for sexual attraction. (Saturday 19 July 2025; 18:16)

Special guests (109,823) by Bobby A from United States Shezz, I have 10 notebook pages of research, analysis, and X posts right now. Lol. I don't think the 2nd single will have any rappers as special guests. That is not the trend right now for a pop R&B hybrid song. My top 5 special guests are: 1. Justin Bieber - We need another MC and Justin collaboration. 2. Sza - Every song she releases and is a guest on does extremely well on the Hot 100. 3. Leon Thomas - His song Mutt is a hit on the Urban and Urban AC charts right now. 4. Summer Walker - Her fan base is crazy and her vocals add something great to any song. 5. Usher - He would definitely give MC those female listeners who love some Usher. Plus, his clear and rich vocals make your head bob to his songs.

The problem with Brad and hating ass hoes (109,820) by Shezz from Pk Haha I think I have this right let me try Brad criticized TD and Mariah's choices (as is his right, this is a Mariah discussion forum) I'm paraphrasing but I think he said it's not age appropriate and not quality work. Then another member (I think Victoria - not sure so sorry if I'm wrong) responded by saying it's not his place to decide how women (Mariah included) should behave at what age (as is her right). She went on to say that a lot of people here love to bash M and mock her (which is not too far from the truth but I suppose it is their right) and then I think she implied he was a "hating ass hoe". Then Brad misconstrued a comment from Stacey as an attack on him and then declared that he's packed up his Louis Vuitton and jumped in his ride and took off. Baby he's gone. Also, excited for next Friday and the "special guests". Bobby A, name your top 5 informed guesses based on current research I know you've been doing. (Saturday 19 July 2025; 09:22)

Analysis of the MC16 rollout (109,817) by Bobby A from United States A summer bop is on the way. There is chatter on the web this weekend that an announcement is imminent next week. The Lambs are not ready for this summer bop. Let's just say the second single is going be exactly what we have been wanting from MC. It is that one more song L.A. Reid wanted MC to record. He suggested Harv to MC. (Saturday 19 July 2025; 05:36) this is a reply to message 109,812

Analysis of the MC16 rollout (109,812) by Bobby A from United States No mediation from me today. Lol. Since the second single didn't drop today, it will probably drop next Friday. So with my analysis of singles needing at least six weeks to hit that sweet chart position on the charts, MC16 will probably not drop until September. Maybe this is best for maximum album sales because August is to jammed pack with major artists releases. I hope the Harv track has multiple features like Peaches to become that Hot 100 top 10 hit MC needs for MC16 to be successful. A Justin Beiber and Sza feature would help MC on both sides on the pop and R&B charts. I am keeping my fingers crossed those two are on the track. MC needs to follow the Peaches formula.

MC16 album title (109,798) by Bobby A from United States Superstar. MC has posted two videos recently of her platinum records and achievements. (Thursday 17 July 2025; 22:13) this is a reply to message 109,641

MC16 Album title (109,641) by TJ from Norway Lambs and Goats. (Sunday 6 July 2025; 10:17)

New snippet (109,795) by Bobby A from United States The producer Harv of Justin Beiber's Peaches reposted his wife Felisha's (of the R&B group Cherish) Instagram post that something big is coming from MC. The second single may be dropping tonight. Peaches does have a nice beat. (Thursday 17 July 2025; 19:25) this is a reply to message 109,777

New snippet (109,777) by Terna from Nigeria Saw this earlier on, it's very melodic and heavy on the nostalgia kinda like an early 90's song. Now I'm quite curious about the new album. (Thursday 17 July 2025; 04:02)

New snippet (109,789) by Bobby A from United States MC is so funny. She knows how to get us all excited. We might get three huge announcements today or Friday. The video will seem pointless if she doesn't say something significant today or Friday. July is almost over and TD won't make it back into the Hot 100 now.

New snippet (109,787) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think she's teasing a new song and lol it's not about cleaning the house. Lol have you heard 34+35 by Ariana singing "I've been drinking coffee, I've been eating healthy, you know I keep it squeaky" lol our girl is probably singing about her private parts like Ariana as well, because when she's chopping the cushion she's also singing "I'mma give it to ya". Or she's about to drop the housewife's banger for the summer and it is about cleaning the house hahah. (Thursday 17 July 2025; 14:41)

New snippet (109,782) by Bobby A from United States I believe you're right Shezz. Now if MC does another video today and gives us more pieces to puzzle. The 2nd single is supposed to have a beat and MC made it clear that she likes the beat. So what if we are about to get another slow burning intro like Fantasy, You're So Cold, and You Don't Know What To Do? (Thursday 17 July 2025; 10:31) this is a reply to message 109,778

New snippet (109,778) by Shezz from Pk At first I thought oh wow she's teasing a new song/next single. Then it struck me later that it also could be a "mop song" moment that she's making up/freestyling while "cleaning" - "I'mma keep it nice, I'mma keep it neat" could literally just be about cleaning, not necessarily lyrics to the song to launch the album. Confused and curious. (Thursday 17 July 2025; 07:29)

New snippet (109,776) by Bobby A from United States It is beautiful. She still has that beautiful tone. MC is coming for us. I don't think we are going to get the same old album formula, but something new and earth shattering. (Thursday 17 July 2025; 03:36) this is a reply to message 109,775

New snippet (109,775) by Haiji from United States MC just posted an acapella moment of what could possibly be her new song. (Thursday 17 July 2025; 02:26)

This next chapter is about owning my narrative and creating freely on my own terms (109,768) by Bobby A from United States I think when MC said that she was referring to how she felt about the rollout of Caution in this article. She disliked how the Epic AR executives rushed her to make Caution and the instant grats album rollout. (Wednesday 16 July 2025; 12:41) this is a reply to message 109,765

This next chapter is about owning my narrative and creating freely on my own terms (109,765) by T from USA By the way, what does Mariah mean when she says this new project lets her create music freely on her own terms? I do believe this will be the most unmanaged album of her career (it took 7 years to even get to this stage). But I thought she created Butterfly, Rainbow, Glitter, Charmbracelet and TEOM pretty much freely without that much oversight or am I missing something? Even MIAMTEC was probably very unmonitored. It's like she always goes back to the first three album narrative of being controlled every time she releases something new, unless those above albums (the later years) still had heavy input by their respective labels? I am low key excited to hear what a completely free and unsupervised (on her own terms) body of work will sound like. But again, then what is LA Reid's role who is exec producing it?

Article: Mariah Carey's "new era begins" with album out July 23 (109,763) by Bobby A from United States Sorry Randy, I got too excited with the results of my search to realize that was wrong release date. Another reason I was on cloud nine today is because Nostradamus on X confirmed that another Skrillex collaboration made it onto the final MC16 tracklist. Is The Distance one of your favorite Caution songs too? (Wednesday 16 July 2025; 01:03) this is a reply to message 109,758

Article: Mariah Carey's "new era begins" with album out July 23 (109,758) by Randy from USA Bobby A. Why'd you use that title? I got all excited like "wait, what did I miss?" But since you brought it up MIAMTEC came out May 27. The original release was July 23 the year before. And I'm glad you all like the album but for me it is her worse. I got it the day it came out and was more disappointed than I was when I lost my virginity. Caution was much better and is growing on me. I play GTFO constantly and even used it on my TikTok as the soundtrack for me quitting my last teaching job. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 20:42)

Article: Mariah Carey's "new era begins" with album out July 23 (109,756) by Bobby A from United States Just reminicsing about when MIAM came out 12 years ago. I was excited to walk into Target at 8am and purchase the deluxe version. Although, I thought the album title was too long, I was glad to have a new Mariah Carey album in my hands. I asked Google a question about MC16 and this old MCA article was shown for my question. (Tuesday 15 July 2025; 16:49)
