Mariah Carey ‘Unironically’ Reissuing ‘Glitter’ Soundtrack for 25th Anniversary
“I made this album with so much love and care, so it was devastating to watch it become a punchline. I'm endlessly grateful to my fans who kept championing it all these years," singer says of 2001 LP
Mariah Carey is commemorating the 25th anniversary of her 2001 album Glitter with an expanded reissue, set to release on October 30th through Def Jam and UMe. The singer has also released a newly reimagined version of the song "Didn't Mean to Turn You On," featuring British-Canadian singer-songwriter Rochelle Jordan. The enhanced digital deluxe edition of Glitter will be available, containing 15 additional tracks, which are believed to include rare and unreleased recordings from Carey's personal collection.
The anniversary festivities will also see Glitter return to vinyl for the first time since its initial release, with a purple vinyl two-LP edition and a deluxe pink vinyl version featuring bonus tracks such as "Out Here on My Own," "Never Too Far/Hero (Medley)," and the original "Loverboy" sample. A limited edition run of signed lithograph copies with foil numbering will also be available.
Carey expressed her surprise and gratitude for the album's transformation from a punchline to a celebrated classic, noting that her fans' unwavering support has been a constant source of encouragement. The original Glitter tracklist included a mix of dance-pop, funk, R&B, and hip-hop tracks, with notable producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and DJ Clue contributing to the project.
