Mariah Carey wants to make music with Lenny Kravitz, and she has asked him to get in touch. The 57-year-old singer made her interest clear during an online fan Q&A, where someone brought up the idea of a duet with the American Woman star.
Carey was all for it. She's a fan of Kravitz and used the chance to send him a direct invite to talk about a track. No deal has been confirmed, but the interest is out in public.
Then the chat took a turn toward Someone's Ugly Daughter, her long-shelved grunge project. Fans keep asking when they can hear it, and Carey gave them a small hint that a release may still be on the cards. Just not yet.
The backstory is quite wild. Carey made the alternative rock record in 1995, far from the pop and R&B sound that made her famous. But music bosses had tight control over her career, and her plans for the project ran into pushback.
During a past chat with Zane Lowe, she said the label did not support her move into rock. Carey had even thought about using a fake name and letting people find the music on their own, but that plan got blocked.
Here's the twist. The record did reach the public through a band called Chick, with her friend Clarissa Dane on lead vocals. Carey's take on the project remains a big point of interest for fans, and she still wants to put it out someday.
