Foo Fighters, Taylor Momsen Perform Mariah Carey’s Secret ’90s Grunge Songs at MusiCares Tribute
The secret grunge album by Mariah Carey was first disclosed in her 2020 memoir, *The Meaning of Mariah Carey*. Titled *Someone’s Ugly Daughter*, the album was released in 1995 under the name Chick. It featured no lead vocals from Carey and was inspired by influential bands like Sleater-Kinney and L7. Carey has since been on a quest to locate the version of the LP that includes her vocals, hoping to release it. Recently, she discussed this ambition with SZA and Jimmy Fallon.
