*If you’ve been waiting for Mariah Carey to drop some new music, well guess what? You’re in luck! Earlier today (09-13-18), the singer came with the first offering from her upcoming new album project. The single has an NSFW title: “GTFO.”
The tune which comes from collaborator Nineteen85 (Drake, Daniel Caesar) highlights her high, breathy vocals leading up to the chorus, which is not abbreviated in the lyrics, repots Variety.
“I wanted to give my fans and everyone a first listen that wasn’t so serious,” says Mariah. “I’ve had so much fun making this album, and I wanted the first moment to reflect that light-hearted spirit.”
Interesting, somewhat is that “GTFO” is the first official single from the album With You, which bears a much more SFW title and is due out Oct. 5. And no, we don’t have any more info on new the album, her first since 2014 and 15th overall.
According to reports, the “GTFO” track is the first new music from Carey since she inked an exclusive partnership with her imprint Butterfly MC Records and Epic in the spring of 2017; she also signed a management deal with Roc Nation late last year. Mariah will share the music video for the new song on Friday. The clip is directed by Sarah McColgan (Kelly Clarkson, Charli XCX).
The announcement of the new songs follows Carey’s recent Las Vegas residency, “The Butterfly Returns,” which wrapped at the Colosseum in Caesar’s Palace on Sept. 10. She plans to return the residency to the venue in February of next year. She also will be performing at the eighth annual iHeartRadio Music Festival at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena on Sept. 21.
