Mariah Carey's secret 1995 alt-rock album may finally enter the spotlight
In 1995, after Columbia Records buried Carey’s involvement in the project, the album was released using overlaid vocals by Carey’s friend Clarissa Dane, using the band name Chick. The original demos, however, were all sung by Carey, in a style she describes as “a girls’ Green Day group moment.”
“This was my outlet, and nobody knew about it,” Carey tells interviewer Brian Hiatt. “I honestly wanted to put the record out back then…and let them discover that it was me, but that idea was squashed.”Though Carey is stalwart in her belief the album “will be heard,” she’s also open to some collaboration. Carey hints in the same interview that she’s also working on a retooled version of the project with another artist—either way, she wants fans to hear it.
