Mariah Carey isn\u2019t keeping her secret grunge album from the Nineties so secret anymore. After SZA played some of the record<\/a> at a New York City event last week, the singer went on The Tonight Show Monday and spoke openly about the record \u2014 even letting Jimmy Fallon play a snippet of a song called \u201cProm Queen.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI do like the cover \u2026 and I drew this cover. I didn\u2019t draw the roach. The roach is real,\u201d Carey told Fallon, referring to the album artwork for the unreleased record, titled Someone\u2019s Ugly Daughter.<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI was just rebelling, because I was working on\u00a0Daydream, and I was doing \u2018Always Be My Baby\u2019 and \u2018Fantasy,\u2019 and those kinds of songs,\u201d Carey continued. \u201cI loved doing that, but at the end of the night, when the band was still there, I\u2019d say, \u2018Can you play, like [a grungy guitar riff]. Play this so I can get out of my head.\u201d<\/p>\n Fallon praised the music as Questlove described the unreleased album as her \u201cbest record.\u201d Carey then allowed Fallon to play a snippet of a song titled \u201cProm Queen\u201d as she explained that she doesn\u2019t think the album is \u201cowned\u201d by any label. \u201cIt\u2019s not out, and it has never been released!\u201d Carey said.<\/p>\n On the track, Cary sings with a bit of an accent: \u201cI can be anything that I want to be\/Someday I will really show them all.\u201d<\/p>\n Just last week, SZA sat down with Carey for an Apple Music interview in New York City, and played a snippet of another secret song, titled \u201cHermit,\u201d as SZA gushed about how much she loved it. \u201cI always regretted not putting it out, but they kinda stopped me at that point. Sony at the time \u2026 was a little controlling,\u201d Carey explained to Fallon, who begged her to release the music.<\/p>\n Back in 2022, she spoke to Rolling Stone <\/a>about the album that ended up being released with Clarissa Dane on lead vocals. \u201cThis was my outlet and nobody knew about it,\u201d she said at the time. \u201cWe were like working for whatever, 15, 16 hours on scrutinizing stuff. And then we just made this record at the same time. I would write the lyrics, go and sing it.\u201d<\/p>\n She added: \u201cThere was a fear [from the record company] because some of the lyrical content was not what people were [expecting]. I honestly wanted to put the record out back then under the same pseudonym and just let them discover that it\u2019s me, but that idea was kind of stomped and squashed. So Clarissa came in.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
