The R&B veterans are showing out this New Music Friday, from Brandy to Toni Braxton to Kem to Jagged Edge. Iconic chanteuse Mariah Carey joins the mix and releases an extended play to tribute the track “Make It Happen” from her sterling Emotions album.
Across 30 minutes of crystal clear range and unparalleled emotions, the EP is comprised of six versions, including a radio edit, a C&C classic mix and an extended edition. It also is equipped with two live renditions, including a performance from the inaugural VH1 Divas Live in 1998.
That’s not all. The generous songbird supreme also treated her lambs with five renditions of her Emotions title track on a separate EP. It includes a special motion edit, as well as an a couple of club mixes.
Earlier this month, Carey blessed her Lambily fans with a rare EP. It included performances from her very first live show at Club Tatou in New York City.
The new Queen of Friday has more surprises up her sleeve, as she counts the days until the arrival of her memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey. The intimate book hits in-store and digital retailers on September 29 via Andy Cohen Books and Audible.
“This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival and my songs,” Carey wrote in a statement on Instagram. “Unfiltered, I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.”
