Q-Tip has shared a new version of Mariah Carey's "Meteorite."

Next week, Mariah Carey's Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse will hit shelves, with its tracklist including "Meteorite," a song co-written and produced by Q-Tip. Now, Tip has shared an entirely different version of the song with new production -- check it out. 

This time around, "Meteorite" gets clip-clopping 808 percussion, a woozy keyboard line and some billowing strings, coming out seeming like a poppier, more polished version of some of the funkier tracks on Q-Tip's 2008 album, The Renaissance. Mariah's voice, as goes without saying, is phenomenal as ever, casually reaching heights that most singers only dream of. 

You can preorder the album through the iTunes link to the left.

Quotable Lyrics:

Gotta get up
Cause you know the world is waiting
Can you keep up?
Everyone you see is racing
