MARIAH CAREY 'MY KIDS ARE PROUD OF ME!'

After a seven-year wait, the singer's finally giving her fans what they want – a new album

- 

She's been in the music biz for over 35 years, but Mariah Carey says she still gets a kick out of releasing new music.

"I'm really proud of it," the 56-year-old superstar says of her 16th studio album, Here For It All. And we're here to chat about it all – her career, her kids and how she sneaks out in public incognito!

Your first single from the album, Type Dangerous, suggests that you are attracted to danger. Is that true?

Kind of. I mean, the song and the video is really me playing a character, but there is obviously some of me in there. Am I attracted to the dangerous type? Maybe, a little. I like the roller-coaster kind of danger - maybe.

You have achieved so much in your career and you have an incredible back catalogue of songs. Is it still exciting for you to release new music?
