Ariana Grande and Mariah Carey: from not knowing who it is to releasing the remix of ‘yes, and?’

Music news

The year was 2016 when Mariah Carey went to the program Watch What Happens Live to promote, one more season, their Christmas music. At that moment, the presenter, Andy Cohen, asked him about one of the musical phenomena of that year: Ariana Grande. At that moment the entire United States was watching the young artist, who after triumphing in half the world to the rhythm of problem and Bang bang, he had just released his album Dangerous Woman.

Mariah Carey then claimed that she had never heard of Ariana Grande. Some words that were reminiscent of those she spoke at the height of Jennifer Lopez’s rise in the late nineties. And it seems that the singer of All I Want For Christmas She has never been very interested in musical news. That, or she prefers to act crazy.

Now, eight years after that moment, Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande are going to release a remix of Si y? the first single from the highly anticipated seventh studio album this Friday, February 16, a real gift for the fans of both!

They have been themselves, through their social networks, where the profile photos have been changed, who have confirmed the news. In addition to sharing what appears to be the cover of the remix: the eyes of both.

A relationship of mutual respect

It is true that, although in 2016 Mariah did not know Ariana Grande, in recent years she has always shown admiration for her. In fact, in 2020, Mariah invited Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson to sing the Oh Santa carol on her Christmas special. But the thing didn’t stop there. This same 2023, the two divas have performed the song together again on their Christmas tour in New York.

Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande are two of the best voices in pop. The two artists are capable of reaching impossible highs, demonstrating a capacity for great, impressive ballads. We’ll have to wait to see what the new version of yes, and? sounds like. Of the two.

It should be remembered that Ariana Grande’s seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine, arrives on all platforms on March 8. A long-awaited musical return. And the artist has not released an album since Positions in 2020. Four years of waiting are finally coming to an end.
