Description
Why Mariah Carey Matters examines the creative evolution and complicated biography of a true diva, making the case that her musicianship and influence are insufficiently appreciated.
A pioneering songwriter and producer, Mariah Carey pairs her vocal gifts with intimate lyrics and richly layered sonic details. This book looks beyond her glamorous persona to explore her experience as a mixed-race woman in show business, her adventurous forays into house music and gospel, and her appeal to multiple generations of queer audiences.
Andrew Chan reckons with the transcendent ideal of the voice that Carey represents, showing how this international icon taught artists around the world to sing with soul-shaking intensity and a spirit of innovation.
