What is Mariah Carey's most recent studio album as of 2025?

Mariah Carey's most recent studio album as of 2025 is Caution. Released on November 16, 2018, it is her fifteenth studio album and her first album of original material since 2014's Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse.

Caution blends contemporary R&B, pop, and hip-hop influences, with Carey working alongside producers and songwriters including Nineteen85, DJ Mustard, Skrillex, and Ty Dolla Sign. The album's title reflects its polished but emotionally guarded tone, while songs such as "With You," "GTFO," and "A No No" explore romance, independence, and relationship boundaries.

A common mix-up is assuming a later single means a later studio album exists. Carey released the single "Type Dangerous" in 2025 and announced plans for a forthcoming sixteenth studio album, but that project had not yet been released. Therefore, Caution remained her latest completed studio album during 2025.
