Synopsis:

"Global icon, award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, actress, mother, daughter, sister, storyteller, and artist Mariah Carey finally tells the unfiltered story of her life.

Carey’s story is an improbable and inspiring journey of survival and resilience as she struggles through complex issues of race, identity, class, childhood and family trauma during her meteoric rise to music superstardom. By pulling back the curtain on perceptions often told through the filtered lens of media, Carey bravely and beautifully walks through her battles with gender and power dynamics, emotional abuse, public embarrassments, personal failures and phenomenal victories. In her own words and song lyrics, Carey reveals untold moments and intimate experiences along with anecdotes of sacred moments with iconic figures to craft an honest, unique and vivid portrait of her extraordinary life.

“This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival and my songs. Unfiltered.” Carey shared in a letter shared on social media yesterday, “Writing this memoir was incredibly hard, humbling and healing. 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.”

The Meaning of Mariah Carey is the story of undeniable talent, unshakable faith, an unparalleled relationship with fans and unconditional love. Finally, the voice known around the world tells her own story – unrestrained."

Reserved.

A countdown for an announcement tomorrow are on her socials. Plus:

[Goldmoney]

Mottolaxative will be eradicated.

[bm08]

Looks like there will be an audiobook!

[RayRay]

Really looking forward to this.

[stevyy]

This could become her 2nd best seller... her xmas storybook has sold 400,000 copies in the US. She's the modern day Hemingway.

[JeremySpears]

I don’t like the cover unfortunately.

[Goldmoney]

Worse title.

I’m here for all the inevitable Mottolaxative, J.No and Nokia drags!

[BehindBreakaway]

I love the picture. I don't like the fact her name is so big at the top because the title also has her name. It doesn't look right to me. I'd have loved the picture and the title to just be the front.

[bm08]

I have come to just find the title "okay" I think she's being verbose and unnecessary here. "Meaning" would've been much snappier.

Oh well.

I like the title and cover. I liked The Meaning of Mariah more, without the Carey. I think that's a question many people have asked her throughout her career, and all the "they called the wind mariah" sotry behind it... so here we are going to get a more honest and insight response to that same question.

Yeah I would be curious to know the reasons behind choosing this title given how important they have been to her albums. Also given the fact that the first rumoured title was "I Had A Vision of Love"

[InFamous]

Cover is ok, at least the title doesn't have the words "elusive" or "chanteuse" in it.
I would have preferred "Mariah Carey - My Meaning" Repeating her entire name is very extra, but that's her anyway !!

[stevyy]

I believe the title is meant as to... "This is what it means to be me". I believe she will talk about the racism that she had to endure in the industry.

The synopsis mentions iconic figures so my guesses on people who will get name checked:

Tommy Motolla
Michael Jackson
George Michael
Prince
Barbra Streisand
Oprah
Nick Cannon
Derek Jeter

What do you guys think? Who else potentially?

[SpyVsSpy]

I hope she doesnt mention nick cannon but I doubt that’s gonna happen. And I suspect this won’t be as shady as some people are expecting.

[bm08]

I wonder if she will delve into details about Howard Stern and some of those...interviews.

Also about Carson Daly on TRL. His exaggerations, in my view, caused a lot of the narrative to be written the way it was.

I hope she doesnt mention nick cannon but I doubt that’s gonna happen. And I suspect this won’t be as shady as some people are expecting.

I dont think it will be shady either. I think, more than likely, it will be heartbreaking to read.

But this makes me wonder about NDAs and stuff. Do books go through legal teams beforehand?

I wouldn't be surprised if there are pseudonyms used for some people.

This Guardian interview is perhaps one of her best in years (despite the terrible writing/editing).
