Mariah Carey has announced her new album, Here For It All.

The 56-year-old pop diva will share her first album since 2018's Caution with the world on September 26.

She captioned a teaser clip on Instagram on Monday (21.07.25): "Here For It All [butterfly emoji] My new album out 9/26 [butterfly emoji] Pre-order now!"

It will include the previously released lead single, Type Dangerous.

On July 20, Mariah posted a video that celebrated her albums, beginning with MC1 - her 1990 self-titled debut LP - through to Caution.

At the end of the 37-second video montage, the Obsessed hitmaker displayed the text "MC16", and on X, the clip showed the title "MC16 - Announcement Tomorrow".

On her Instagram Stories, Mariah posted the same clip, but with a frozen countdown ticker, which displayed “19:06:42".

The icon's tease of a new album came the day after she previewed the new single, Sugar Sweet.

Mariah gave her fans a sneak peek into the light-hearted track - which features the lyrics: "Imma keep it nice, Imma keep it neat, Imma keep it sugar, Imma keep it sweet" - in a video of her baking something in a kitchen on July 19.

In June, Mariah achieved an impressive milestone with one of her hit songs.

Over 500 million people listened to 1995 track Fantasy on the music streaming platform, Spotify.

Fantasy was Mariah's ninth Number One single on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and it spent eight weeks at the top from September 30 to November 18, 1995.

It was also the first single, by a female artist, to debut atop the chart, and only the second single to do so after You Are Not Alone by Michael Jackson.

Mariah has now got four songs that have reached this milestone, with the others being the 1994 holiday classic All I Want For Christmas Is You, which has been streamed over two billion times, 2005's We Belong Together, which has been listened to over 777 million times, and 2009's Obsessed, which has totted almost 600 million streams.

Rilo Kiley’s Jenny Lewis marks turning 50 with playful dog wedding

Rilo Kiley‘s Jenny Lewis marked her 50th birthday in unusual fashion – by marrying her dog.

On Thursday (January 8), Lewis celebrated her birthday by marrying her cockapoo, Bobby Rhubarb, the dog recognisable to fans of her 2021 single ‘Puppy And A Truck’, in which she sings about the” unconditional love” she feels for him.

According to Stereogum, Morgan Nagler and Farmer Dave Scher performed at the nuptials, while Lewis sang the Postal Service’s ‘Such Great Heights’ alongside Ben Gibbard and Phantom Planet’s ‘California’ with Alex Greenwald for guests at the wedding party.

Later taking to social media to share pictures of her vintage white dress and birthday cake, Lewis shared news with fans by declaring: “i married my dog for my 50th birthday…
BLESS!”.

She went on to repost well wishes from fans, one of whom wished the couple “Muzzle Tov”.

 

 

Last year, Lewis and co. took the ‘Sometimes When You’re On, You’re Really Fucking On Tour’ across the US, marking their first extended run of shows since 2008, although they did play a one-off gig for a livestream benefit in 2021.

The final date in the run came on October 18 at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, and saw Waxahatchee – aka Katie Crutchfield – serve as the opening act, having been a self-confessed superfan of the group.

Together, they sang ‘With Arms Outstretched’, a fan favourite track from Rilo Kiley’s second album ‘The Execution Of All Things’, released in 2002

News of the comeback followed Jenny Lewis telling NME in 2019 that she was open to getting the band back together. Then, in 2023 the singer spoke to us again about the prospect of a Rilo Kiley reunion, dismissing immediate hopes by saying: “I’ve got a lot on my plate […] We’re not talking about it, but it’s not off the table.”

Although live shows have been few and far between since 2011, Rilo Kiley did reissue their 1999 self-titled debut album in 2020 and made it available on streaming services for the first time.
