Mariah Carey has finally revealed the track list for her upcoming The Rarities album, a 15-track collection of unreleased songs, b-sides and, yes, rarities due out on Oct. 2.
Among the treasures on tap is an unreleased song from the singer’s self-titled 1990 debut, “Here We Go Around Again,” as well as b-sides (“Slipping Away,” “Everything Fades Away”) and an unreleased song from The Paperboy soundtrack (“Mesmerized”) and the Lauryn Hill collab “Saves the Day.”
The album also features a 17-track bonus disc, Live at Tokyo Dome, recorded on March , 1996, which kicks off with “Daydream” and includes live versions of “Emotions,” “Fantasy,” “Always Be My Baby,” “One Sweet Day,” “Dreamlover,” “Vision of Love,” Hero” and “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”
The Lambily has been inundated with a bumper crop of goodies during the #MC30 anniversary celebration already this year, including this week’s mega-drop of 16 of MC’s classic albums remastered on vinyl. Carey has definitely leaned into her three-decade celebration, with a series of EPs and upcoming Christmas special on Apple TV+; Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special will be an exclusive holiday event from the global pop superstar that is described as an “innovative” mix of music, dancing and animation “driven by a universally heartwarming story that brings the world together.”
