Mariah Carey’s Debut Album Turns 35: Revisiting Her Record-Breaking Debut


With her unearthly five-octave vocal range, Mariah Carey has been so firmly fixed in the highest echelon of pop music for so long, it’s hard to remember she was once a complete unknown. We didn’t yet know which one is her good side (the right, of course) or why you should absolutely never wish her…

After months without landing a record deal, though, Carey attended an industry gala with friend and fellow singer Brenda K. Starr. Few fans would rank the elusive chanteuse’s first album as her best, but in the Whitney Houston – Madonna era, that staggering vocal range and the super-high notes of her signature “whistle register” made a mark. A source recently told Us Weekly that Carey is working on a new album after the success of her single “Type Dangerous.” Mariah’s still a legend, dahhhling — and she’ll never let you forget it.
