"In 1995, Epic Records released an alternative rock album that was written by one of the biggest pop stars in the world, and nobody knew for 25 years. But in 2020, Mariah Carey finally spilled the beans in her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, that she’d written and recorded an entire album of angsty rock inspired by bands like Hole during the sessions for her 1995 album, Daydream. Nervous label executives persuaded Carey not to release the rock album herself. So her friend Clarissa Dane sang lead on the band Chick’s only album, Someone’s Ugly Daughter, and the album came and went with no commercial impact, with the world unaware for decades that Mariah Carey was writing and singing backup all over the album."

I had no idea about this, does this officially make Mariah the most versatile and talented pop star ever? (as if she wasn't before). 

 

And i also just found out about Mariah almost collaborating with Hole for their 2010 album Nobody's Daughter.

In what could have been one of the strangest but exciting collaborations in rock history, Courtney Love and Mariah Carey almost teamed for a duet on Love’s upcoming Hole album Nobody’s Daughter. As Love tells Spinner, she was asking her rocker buds — namely Billy Corgan and My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way — if they could sing the lyric “People like you **** people like me” on the album’s opener “Samantha.” Thwarted, Love went to visit her friend, director Brett Ratner, at his Los Angeles mansion. Anyone who’s seen that episode of Entourage knows that Ratner’s pad is pretty much like Chateau Marmont when it comes to stargazing, so it was likely Love would find someone there to sing the lyric.

“I’m at his house and I sing the part, ‘People like you **** people like me,’ ” Love told Spinner. “And this little voice goes, ‘I’ll sing it.’ I’m like, ‘Who’s that?’ The voice goes, ‘It’s Mariah.’ ” Carey has frequently recruited Ratner to direct her videos, from “We Belong Together” to “Obsessed.” “It was hysterical. I never met Mariah for more than a minute in my life, but we sort of canceled each other out. We had nothing negative about each other to say. I’m not in her universe and she’s not in mine,” Love said.

What do you think?  Should Mariah have released a grunge/punk/alternative era? Could she pull it off? Am i a flop Hole/Mariah stan for just finding out about this? 

 

Lemme add that back in her heyday she could've slayed some of these notes with a guitar and make me collapse.

I remember reading about how she almost collaborated with Courtney/Hole, it would have been incredible 

 

And she would definitely slay a rock album. I can picture her doing 80s glam rock with her own twist. 

Song in OP is seriously awesome no Mariah does not get enough credit for anything but she is one of the greatest living music composers. 
 

Love ALL of her rock covers.

She should just do IT and release a rock album as a follow up to Caution, it would be so unexpected and the GP would be shook

I was hooked when I heard "I am vinegar and water".

Plz release it Mariah!
