‘The Meaning of Mariah Carey’ will be published by Andy Cohen Books, an imprint of Henry Holt & Company. Carey will perform the memoir’s audiobook, which will be available on Audible.
The book tracks Carey’s journey from her childhood as a “scared little girl” to her current life as a “triumphant woman”. Carey wrote the memoir in collaboration with journalist Michaela Angela Davis.
“Writing this memoir was incredibly hard humbling and healing,” Carey said.
“My sincere hope is that you are moved to a new understanding, not only about me, but also about the resilience of the human spirit.”
In addition to the memoir, a recent press release revealed that fans can expect additional “rarities” in the coming months to mark the 30th anniversary of the singer’s debut album.
In March, Mariah Carey joined Elton John, Alicia Keys, Billie Eilish and a slew of other artists for the iHeart Living Room Concert For America. The event aimed to raise funds for the Americans most affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
