This year is a big one for iconic singer Mariah Carey. She’s already celebrated her 50th birthday, not to mention the 15th anniversary of her comeback album, The Emancipation of Mimi; but more importantly, June 12 marks an impressive 30 years since she entered the showbiz world as a pop singer hopeful of making the big time.
With that incomparable five-octave vocal range and a flair for catchy tunes, Carey has exceeded even her own expectations over the years, notching up 18 number-one singles on the US charts, releasing 15 studio albums and winning five Grammy Awards. Suffice it to say, Carey is undeniably one of the biggest, most enduring artists of all time, and she has certainly earned her infamous diva reputation and 10-person entourage – a glamorous life she could once only dream about as a young biracial girl growing up on the poorer side of the tracks. “I was like, ‘You know what? One day I’ll hear my song on the radio, and that will be a moment,” she told Pitchfork. “I wanted to be successful. I wanted to never have to worry about the rug being pulled out from under me.”
Carey was due to have her achievements immortalised next month by being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, however, this has been postponed until 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic. Her “cathartic” tell-all memoir, I Had A Vision of Love, however, is due for release in September.
