Kingston, Jamaica – August 2025
Dancehall princess Shenseea continues her international takeover with a major announcement: a collaboration with Mariah Carey is officially in the works. The single, titled “Sugar Sweet”, is set to drop this October and is already generating global buzz.

Sources close to both camps confirmed the track blends dancehall rhythms with Mariah’s classic vocal runs, a genre-crossing fusion that’s expected to chart across multiple platforms. “This is not just another pop link-up. It’s history,” one insider told 876Pulse.

The collaboration reportedly started during Shenseea’s Grammy circuit run in 2024, where she and Mariah first connected at a private post-show brunch in Los Angeles. “Mariah said she loved my voice and my energy,” Shenseea revealed in a recent live Q&A with fans. “She said it reminded her of when she first started, so we linked up in studio, and di rest is vibes.”

Not Their First Rodeo
Mariah Carey is no stranger to Caribbean influence — fans may recall her iconic 2001 Charmbracelet tour stop in Montego Bay. But this marks her first true dancehall collab.

Shenseea, meanwhile, continues her trend of teaming with global stars after past records with Kanye West, Megan Thee Stallion, and Christina Aguilera. Her 2024 album Never Gets Late Here earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Reggae Album, cementing her crossover appeal.
