Good morning, gentle reminder that Mariah Carey recorded a secret grunge album that she’s been sitting on for literal decades. The elusive chanteuse confirmed this incredible fact during her taping of Las Culturistas, when Matt Rogers asked “Can you drop that grunge album?”
“I know, right?” Mariah replied. “I’m so mad that I haven’t done that yet…but who do I drop it with?” She then confirmed “It’s a good album. I was getting life from that.”
Mariah recorded the album in the 90s, but apparently the record label wasn’t into her branching out.
“I got kind of in trouble for making this album—the alternative album—because back then, everything was super-controlled by the powers that be,” she told Zane Lowe back in 2020. “I never really was like, ‘Oh, we’re going to release it.’ But then I was like, I should release it. I should do it under an alias. Let people discover it and whatever, but that got squashed. First of all it was fun, second of all in terms of writing it was the complete antithesis of ‘One Sweet Day’ and ‘Fantasy,’ that was literally I would sit down and write anything that came to my mind.”
Don’t worry, Mariah shared a snippet of the album and it’s absolute everything.
