Grammy-winning and best-selling female recording artist of all time Mariah Carey will celebrate the 30th anniversary of her third studio album, "Music Box," this fall. The celebration will include the release of new unreleased tracks, mixes, live audio, and remastered audio with "My Prayer," "Hero (2009 Version)," "Anytime You Need A Friend (Extended Mix)," and "Music Box (Acapella)." A remastered version of "Mariah Carey Live at Proctor's Theatre" will also be released. Carey will release a mini documentary behind-the-scenes of "Dreamlover," which will also be released in 4k. Mariah Carey's "Music Box: Then & Now" celebration will begin on September 8. "I’ll never forget creating this record, fully immersing myself in the music that would change my life and connect me with YOU, the lambily, in a way that bonded us forever," Carey said in a social media post.

Mariah Carey Merry Christmas (Deluxe Anniversary Edition) celebrates this modern Christmas classic in honor of its 25th Anniversary! This expanded edition features the original album, plus a very special bonus disc that includes rare remixes, previously unreleased live tracks from Mariah's 1994 St. John the Divine concert, and Mariah's brand-new, festive rendition of the Sugar Plum Fairy.

The titular "Mimi" of The Emancipation of Mimi is, by all accounts, an alter ego of Mariah, a persona that captures Carey's true feelings and emotions. In case you didn't know what "emancipation" means, Mariah helpfully provides a dictionary definition of the word in the opening pages of the liner notes for her eighth proper album: it means "to free from restraint, control, oppression, or the power of another" or "to free from any controlling influence" or "to free somebody from restrictions or conventions." So, on The Emancipation of Mimi, Mariah frees herself from the constraints of being herself, revealing herself to be well, somebody that looks startlingly like Beyoncé, if the cover art is any indication.
