In 2014, Mariah Carey released Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse, her fourteenth album. Since then, she’s dropped a handful of singles, but now she’s ready to return with a full-fledged album. Details about it are still scant, but she did share a new single today, “GTFO.” The song, produced by Nineteen85, is a slower pop number, in which Carey breathily states her demand: “How ’bout you get the f*ck out?”
“I wanted to give my fans and everyone a first listen that wasn’t so serious,” Carey says of the track. “I’ve had so much fun making this album, and I wanted the first moment to reflect that light-hearted spirit.”
Carey recently spoke more about the upcoming record, and she said that there is a variety of moods on the album:
“I’ve been working on my new album for a while. This is a labor of love and I’m really excited. This is me at this moment in my life being able to express myself as a writer and a singer. I’m just really in a good place. […] My fans just want to hear me express myself and speak from the heart and sing from the heart. Some of the record is lighthearted and fun, and some [songs] I really went deep in terms of the lyrical content. There’s a nice cross-section of things.”
