Mariah Carey and Solange deliver a stunning, soulful remix of “Say Somethin’” that feels timeless and brand new all at once.
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of The Emancipation of Mimi, Mariah Carey has unveiled a brand-new remix of her 2005 track “Say Somethin’,” this time enlisting Solange for a soulful reinterpretation. Released on May 30th as part of the deluxe anniversary edition of the album, this new version breathes fresh energy into the original Pharrell-produced single, which once featured Snoop Dogg.
Gone is the bubbly, upbeat swagger of the original. In its place: a slower, more atmospheric R&B vibe that feels lush, hypnotic, and emotionally richer. Solange’s ethereal vocals blend seamlessly with Mariah’s unmistakable runs, resulting in layered harmonies that feel like a love letter to classic girl groups — but with a modern, introspective twist.
What makes this remix shine is how it manages to sound nostalgic yet entirely new. It’s a reimagining that doesn’t feel like a retread, but rather a refinement. With its warm tones and airy production, it’s bound to resonate with longtime Mariah fans and a new generation of R&B lovers alike.
