THE MEANING OF MARIAH CAREY

To find out what really happened during Mariah Carey's well-known 2001 breakdown, what it was like for her to grow up in a biracial household in the 1970s, and how much her fans mean to her, listen to this audiobook. Carey's narration may be her most moving performance yet. In a deep timbre reminiscent of the five-time Grammy winner's ballads, Carey shares memories enhanced by details like a long sniff while describing delicious food and a disappointing sigh at how the police brutality against Black people she was aware of in her childhood continues today. Gorgeous singing follows many recollections of catalysts for lyrics. Recordings of other artists Carey has worked with are sprinkled in. Carey's majestic voice roughens as she relives painful memories and holds back tears. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2020]
