Mariah Carey is celebrating 25 years of her classic 1999 album ‘Rainbow’ with an expanded deluxe release – including a brand new song.
Marking the latest milestone of her first studio LP without contribution from long-running collaborator Walter Afanasieff – featuring the US No. 1 hits Heartbreaker and Thank God I Found You – the diva dropped a new digital edition of the record.
Expanded to include 28 songs, the release includes the original tracklist along with remixes, live recordings and the previously unheard song Rainbow’s End.
“People would ask me, why didn’t you finish the song Rainbow? I remember not having an answer. I don’t know what I said. Like, well, because we’re going to do it again one of these days. And we did,” she says of the new track, produced by David Morales.
“So, it was just the moment where I reached out to David and said, hey, are you available to work on the Rainbow interlude and take it into another place? And so, he did and we did and I sang the vocals over. It’s coming out, but there’s a lot of other things coming out too.”
