Mariah Carey celebrates 25 years of Glitter.

Mariah Carey is celebrating the 25^th anniversary of Glitter, her 2001 cult classic. It was her eighth studio album and the soundtrack to the film of the same name. It drew inspiration from the film’s 1983 setting, blending dance-pop, funk, hip-hop, and R&B and creating standout singles “Loverboy,” “Never Too Far,” and “Don’t Stop (Funkin’ 4 Jamaica). The album featured Eric Benét, Ludacris, Da Brat, Busta Rhymes, Fabolous, and Ja Rule.

It returns to vinyl for the first time since its original release, alongside an expanded Digital Deluxe Edition featuring 15 additional tracks, including rare and previously unreleased recordings, arriving October 30 via Def Jam Records/UMe.

Mariah is kicking off the celebration with a remix of “Didn’t Mean To Turn You On” featuring acclaimed British-Canadian singer/songwriter Rochelle Jordan, produced by KLSH. Listen to the track and watch the visualizer here: https://mariahcarey.lnk.to/DMTTYORemixPR.

“If someone had told me back in 2001 that I’d one day be unironically celebrating Glitter’s 25^th anniversary, I never would have believed them,” says Mariah. “I made this album with so much love and care, so it was devastating to watch it become a punchline. I’m endlessly grateful to my fans who kept championing it all these years, and I hope even more people can finally hear it for what it is. We found a few recordings buried in the vault that I am really looking forward to sharing with you in October!” -Mariah Carey
