Mariah Carey unleashed a real treat on Friday, with an EP of one of her earliest performances.
The A No No star announced earlier this week that she would be marking the 30th anniversary of her self-titled debut album by sharing “surprises and rarities” online every Friday, beginning this week.
True to her word, on Thursday evening, Mariah headed online to reveal the first drop – a recording of one of her earlier live recordings from Club Tatou in New York City.
“We don’t acknowledge numbers, but we do acknowledge when it’s time for a celebratory moment,” the Elusive Chanteuse penned, alongside a clip of her explaining the addition of the Aretha Franklin classic, Don’t Play That Song (You Lied) in the set.
“To kick off #MC30, one of my very first live performances (from Club Tatou in NYC) is now available as a digital EP! Disclaimer: the olive green crushed velvet ensemble was not my choice!”
She added. “Stay tuned every Friday for a fun #MC30 surprise… some remixes, some live performances, some b-sides and many more… all of them rarities, dahhling!”
Check out the EP below.
As an added bonus, a recording of the performance will also premier on YouTube at 3 pm UK time on Friday.
Tune in here.
The Elusive Chanteuse released her self-titled debut album on June 12th 1990, and the star had previously revealed plans to kick off the festivities last month. However, amid Black Lives Matter protests worldwide, the Hero star decided not to pull focus, and instead postponed the celebrations.
Mariah previously hinted at some of the other treats she has in store during the #MC30 celebrations – check them out here.
