Someone's ugly daughter.
(via) An all-time great story of creative release: It’s 1995, and Mariah Carey is recording her fifth album Daydream. She’s also in a terrible marriage, longing to be free from it and her pristine pop image. To blow off steam, she writes a grunge rock album inspired by alt-rock bands like Garbage, Hole, and Sleater-Kinney. She records it at night with the band after the Daydream sessions, channeling her frustrations into the music, and picks the most perfect name for such a project: Someone’s Ugly Daughter. When you’re feeling one-dimensional, never forget: Mariah Carey recorded Always Be My Baby at the same time as Demented.Latest links
