As tweeted from @MariahCarey: “I wrote TRIUMPHANT when I was going through a difficult time & it helped me get through it. When u hear it, pay attention 2 the lyrics #WIN.” ‘Triumphant (Get ’Em)’ is the first single from multiple Grammy Award®-winner Mariah’s 14th studio album, whose release will be announced in the months ahead.
Mariah, who boasts an unparalleled music catalogue with #1 hits in multiple formats on the Billboard charts, will follow the original version of ‘Triumphant (Get ‘Em)’ with a set of exclusive, re-sung dance remixes produced by some of the hottest names in the dance world. Mariah, who continues a long-time tradition of re-inventing her songs in the format, said: “I’ve always had so much fun re-singing my songs for the club/dance mixes. It gives me the freedom to sing as powerfully as I want and to rewrite the songs specifically for the genre.” Mariah has 15 #1 hits on Billboard’s Dance Music/Club Play chart, including “Dreamlover,” “Fantasy” and “Obsessed.” Mariah is now positioned as the only active recording artist with the potential to surpass the Beatles’ all-time high of 20 #1 hits.
Currently the singer/songwriter/producer Mariah Carey is set to become a judge on the panel of ‘American Idol’ and is also preparing for her role in the upcoming film ‘The Butler’ directed by Lee Daniels where Mariah will be starring alongside the likes of Nicole Kidman, Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey to name but a few.

I love it, I thinks it’s a good song, I think it would be interesting to hear a version with Rick Ross and Meek Mill on it, but it’s good to hear some thing fresh from MIMI !
