Mariah Carey just reminded us why she’s still THAT artist when it comes to blending love, vulnerability, and undeniable power into a single track.
Mariah’s brand new single “Type Dangerous’ is the perfect blend of glittery vocals, moody production, and that signature lyrical sass we live for. She’s not just singing about a red flag — she’s waving it like a designer scarf in the wind.
Leave it to the Songbird Supreme to drop the kind of heat that feels glamorous, grown, and just the right amount of a dangerously divine ride.
The single is produced by Carey alongside N.W.I. and Daniel Moor, and features a prominent sample from Eric B & Rakim’s 1986 classic debut single, ‘Eric B. Is President.’
Already sitting at the top of Billboard’s “This Week’s Favorite New Music Poll,” ‘Type Dangerous’ is a steady-burn anthem about being pulled toward someone you know might break your heart—but you take the risk anyway.
With vocals as smooth as ever and lyrics that cut deep, this one is for anyone who’s ever been hooked on a feeling that felt both thrilling and toxic.
“This song is for anyone who’s ever been pulled in by someone they knew wasn’t good for them… but still couldn’t look away,” Mariah shared. “It’s seductive, it’s complicated… and it’s absolutely me.”
The production leans into a sultry mid-tempo groove—equal parts hypnotic and haunting. It’s got that signature Mimi magic: vocal layers, emotional depth, and just enough edge to keep it on repeat.
“Type Dangerous” doesn’t just live in the world of R&B—it floats in its own space, carried by Mariah’s flawless tone and fearless honesty.
This one’s already on top of our “ThisIsRnB Favorite” playlist. Trust—it’s that type of dangerous.
Stream it. Feel it. Relive every ‘wrong but irresistible’ moment in your life.
