Did you miss one of Mariah Carey’s first live performances 30 years ago? Time to catch up!


It is also a digital EP.

There’s a good chance he wasn’t one of the lucky few to see Mariah Carey perform at the Tatou Club in New York in 1990, when the new kid on the block stunned the crowd. And while time doesn’t make sense in the MC world, the singer celebrates three decades of hits this year under the # MC30 label, starting with a new EP dedicated to one of her first live performances that night.

“We don’t recognize numbers, but we do recognize when it’s time for a moment of celebration.” Carey tweeted on Friday morning (July 17). Accompanying the tweet are stock footage of Mariah explaining how a 1970 R&B classic ended in one of her first showcase shows with just her voice, a piano, and background singers.

“I needed an extra song, so I added ‘Don’t Play That Song For Me’ by Aretha Franklin and it’s like I did it in concert and I tell people, ‘this was originally recorded by the incomparable Aretha Franklin’ and I’m just saying so you know I don’t think I’m getting close to the way Aretha sang it, but this is my tribute, “says Carey in the file interview. Carey posted one more warning in another tweet, tweaking the “olive-green crushed velvet set,” which was not her choice.

He promised a new # MC30 surprise every Friday, including remixes, live performances, B-sides, and more. The accompanying five-song EP, The Live Debut – 1990, presents “Love takes time”, “The vision of love”, “Disappear and” Do not play that song (you lied) “.

The version is, of course, impeccable. Check out Franklin’s song and full EP below.
