After a gap of almost three years since her last full-length album “Memoirs of an Imperfect angel”, Mariah Carrey has finally resurfaced with a single named ‘Triumphant (Get ‘Em)’. The single features two other artists namely Rick Ross and Meek Mill.
"Working with Ross and Meek on the same record was incredible," chimed Mariah on a conference call to the media on 2nd August. "Obviously Ross is a star and everybody loves him. I'm a fan of his music. I really, really wanted to work with him. I love the tone of his voice. I think the contrast of his voice and mine would be something special. I always like to do collaborations that people might think are different."
"Meek adds an excitement, newness to the record that is pretty rare right now," She further added. Randy Jackson was all praises for the single ‘Triumphant’, which he claimed is ‘inspirational’. The said single is the first of Mariah’s 14th studio album. The singer further revealed about the yet untitled album "I'm collaborating with a lot of my favorite people, but the main thing is [that] I'm not trying to follow any particular trend," she said. "I want it to be well received. I want to stay true to myself and the music that I love and make the fans happy."
Mariah also expressed her opinion about the current predicament facing the R&B genre and its mainstream cross over. She said, "It would be incredible if we can bring back the days where R&B songs didn't have to cross over. It makes me sad that there are so many talented R&B artists that don't get the chance that they should."
