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.

EJAE wrote Golden on her way to the dentist.  

Singer-songwriter EJAE recorded a couple of voice notes on her way to the dentist which became the mega-hit earworm Golden. EJAE was the voice of lead singer Rumi in KPop Demon Hunters, Netflix’s most popular movie of all time, and my favorite movie of the year. For the fans!
