Mariah Carey will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the most controversial record of her career. “Glitter,” released in 2001, was the soundtrack to Carey’s film of the same name, marking a departure from the type of music she’d been making throughout her career. The film and the album were critical failures, prompting Carey to dismiss them.
In a new chat, as she discusses her third nomination to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the coming 25th anniversary of “Glitter,” Carey is revealing what fans can expect in the near future.
“Plans for a deluxe and a reissue, or maybe just one, I don’t know. We’re getting on top of it. I’m excited about it,” she said to Variety, revealing that the album had been recently pulled out of Spotify.

“I used to hate it. I used to be so like, why did I do that? And then, you know, it became something that I really loved and it just sort of took on its own thing,” she said. Carey acknowledged that while the record had developed a fervent fanbase, it represented “a tough time for me.”

Carey has had a big year. She has been nominated for a third time for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, has performed at the Milan-Cortina Olympic Games, and was selected as MusiCares Person of the Year, an event hosted on Grammy Week that resulted in tributes from all sorts of artists, among them Jennifer Hudson, Adam Lambert, and more.
She also revealed she’s working on new music, even though she didn’t share details of whether or not the project would be part of a future record. “I’m definitely recording new music, and I’m very excited about it,” she said. “And yeah, I’m kind of like always recording new music, but I hope it will do well and people will like it. But yeah, new music.”
