Mariah Carey has released a new song titled “In The Mix”, which serves as the opening track for the upcoming sitcom Mixed-ish. The new offering from ABC is a prequel for its hit series Black-ish and it will hit the screens on September 24.
The legendary singer unveiled her latest song at ABC’s Embrace Your Ish premiere event on Tuesday (September 17) night. Mariah joined the show’s executive producer Kenya Barris on stage and opened up about the origin of “In The Mix” and the meaning of multiracial representation on TV.
The song is accompanied by a music video featuring clips from Mixed-ish. Fans can also watch the cast of the forthcoming series dance to the theme tune. “In The Mix” was written by Mariah Carey. She also co-produced the track alongside Daniel Moore.
“As a biracial woman in the entertainment industry, there was no way I did not want to be a part of Mixed-ish, especially after seeing the pilot, which I loved”, the vocalist said in a press statement statement. “I could not be more honored and proud to be writing and performing ‘In the Mix’ for Kenya [Barris] and the show”.
Mixed-ish is narrated by Black-ish actress Tracee Ellis Ross and follows the life of a young Rainbow Johnson (Arica Himmel), as she recalls growing up in a mixed race family in the 1980s. The show’s cast also includes Tika Sumpter, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Gary Cole and Mykal-Michelle Harris.
