\n\tMariah Carey<\/a> is keeping her Lambs on their toes when it comes to her legendary unreleased grunge album, teasing in a recent \u201cAsk Me Anything\u201d on Reddit<\/a> that the long-shelved project might just be on its way \u2014 someday. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn the online chat with fans on Friday (Oct. 30) in honor of her Glitter album\u2019s 25th anniversary, Carey answered questions about her pets \u2014 \u201cI currently have 4 Jack Russells and I love them all so much!\u201d she wrote \u2014 and whether she\u2019d ever team up with Lenny Kravitz on a song. (\u201cI love Lenny too\u2026 Lenny if you\u2019re seeing this, call me!\u201d she wrote.)<\/p>\n

\n\tBut one of the questions that got the most engagement was whether the Songbird Supreme would ever release her grunge LP from the archives. Luckily, Carey was happy to weigh in. \u201cI get asked this about once a week,\u201d she shared. \u201cmy answer is\u2026#notyet (this is a hint!)\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCarey opened up in her 2020 memoir about recording a secret rock album called Someone\u2019s Ugly Daughter 25 years prior, which she and her band had used as a way of blowing off steam while in the studio for Daydream, her fifth studio LP. Though Daydream would go on to spend six weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200<\/a> in 1995, Carey released its little-known grunge counterpart under the pseudonym Chick with friend Clarissa Dane taking over lead vocals.<\/p>\n

\n\tEver since they\u2019ve known about the existence of Carey\u2019s original version of Someone\u2019s Ugly Daughter, fans have been pressing for her to release it. \u201cI\u2019m so mad I haven\u2019t done that yet,\u201d she said in 2024 <\/a>of the delay on Las Culturistas. \u201cIt\u2019s a good album. OK, you will hear it. I was getting life from that, seriously. It was jokes, as well. They\u2019re everlasting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor now, however, Carey is focused on celebrating Glitter, which debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and doubled as the soundtrack to the superstar\u2019s film of the same name. To commemorate its 25th anniversary, she also dropped a deluxe version featuring multiple bonus tracks on Friday.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThank you for celebrating glitter!!!\u201d the five-time Grammy winner told one Redditor who\u2019d asked which track on the album she\u2019d had the most fun creating. \u201c\u2018Lead The Way\u2019 was one of my favorites to write and record and produce, but I love them all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother fan asked on the forum, \u201cRemember when you met Prince while working on Glitter and he encouraged you to finish that song you had started instead of sampling \u2018Nasty Girl\u2019 by Vanity 6 ? Will we ever get to hear that demo ?\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s a song that I never finished, I have no idea where it is but I loved Prince and still do,\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s always possible that Carey might give the grunge album to Lambs as a Christmas present this year, though it seems unlikely as she\u2019s spent every holiday season for the past several years focusing on her festive catalog. Her evergreen smash \u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You\u201d holds the record for second-longest run at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a> with 22 nonconsecutive weeks, which only Ella Langley has surpassed with \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d clearing 25 weeks this year.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for brand new material? \u201cI\u2019m always working on music and coming up with lyrics and ideas, but I don\u2019t know numbers so I can\u2019t tell you when exactly the next album will happen,\u201d Carey told fans on Reddit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mariah Carey is keeping her Lambs on their toes when it comes to her legendary unreleased grunge album,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":900406,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[88,497,216,498],"class_list":["post-900405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-genre-pop","tag-music","tag-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/900405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=900405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/900405\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/900406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=900405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=900405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=900405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
