Mariah Carey‘s sparkle doesn’t dull on her 16th studio album, Here For It All, which was released on Friday (Sept. 26) via gamma.

The 11-track LP was preceded by two singles, “Type Dangerous” and “Sugar Sweet,” the latter featuring Shenseea and Kehlani. “Type Dangerous” won best R&B at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, where Carey received the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, and also became her landmark 50th Billboard Hot 100 hit as well as her first No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay in nearly 20 years. The project also includes collaborations with Anderson .Paak (“Play This Song”) and The Clark Sisters (“Jesus I Do”).

Although she’s not featured on the album, SZA and MC previewed a snippet of “In Your Feelings” during their Apple Music conversation in NYC Wednesday (Sept. 24). And Mimi told Gayle King in her CBS Mornings interview earlier on release week about the intentionality behind the title track and its sequencing on the project. “The last song on the album I decided first. I was like, ‘The last song is going to be “Here For It All.” And I’m going to make it the title track.’ It’s just something that feels good to me, and I didn’t want people to miss it,” she said.

Here For It All arrives seven years after her last studio album, Caution. The 10-song LP included collaborations with Ty Dolla $ign (“The Distance”), Slick Rick and Blood Orange (“Giving Me Life”) and Gunna (“Stay Long Love You”). It peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and topped Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

‘Protect the Prize’: The Polaris Music Prize Undergoes Its Biggest Period of Change

Now entering its third decade, the Canadian critic’s prize has expanded its voting pool, adjusted to financial constraints and begun awarding both albums and songs. After years defined by its refined focus, the changes mark a major expansion of the organization’s mission.

In 2025, the Polaris Music Prize celebrated its 20th anniversary. Entering its third decade, the award is undergoing what might be its biggest period of change. From funding to voting process, the organization is continuing to evolve.

The cultural not-for-profit organization has spent the better part of two decades creating a space in the industry for Canadian acts to be recognized based solely artistic merit, rather than sales, genre or support from a record label. Founded in the 2000s as Canada's answer to the Mercury Prize, the organization became a registered Canadian charity in 2017.
