Mariah Carey has delivered her first album in seven years, Here For It All.

The long-awaited follow-up to 2018's Caution includes the lead single Type Dangerous and Sugar Sweet featuring Shenseea and Kehlani.

Anderson .Paak - who has been rumoured to be romantically involved with the 56-year-old pop diva - is featured on Play This Song.

In a recent appearance on CBS Sunday Mornings, Mariah remained cryptic when addressing whether or not she is dating the 39-year-old rapper.

Quizzed on pictures of the pair holding hands by host Gayle King, she replied: “He just likes to hold my hand. He just grabs my hand. I don’t know what he’s doing.

"He’s [in] a hand-holding club. That’s what it is.”

Attempting to dig further, King asked about the pair spending the festive period together.

To which, the All I Want For Christmas Is You hitmaker coyly responded: “Well, they better know that it’s something special.

“It’s Christmas. … He enjoyed it.”

Asked if she enjoyed their time together, she said: “I did! There’s a hot tub there. It was nice.”

On collaborating with Anderson, she told Apple Music: “I definitely wanted to work with Anderson because he’s so brilliant and amazing at what he does, which is just being a kick-ass musician. But when we got into the studio, we decided we wanted to do something that was kind of ’70s, and we did give you that kind of vibe.”
