Someone’s Ugly Daughter Tracklist
In a tweet on September 27th, 2020, Mariah Carey revealed she had written, produced, and recorded background vocals for an alt-rock album titled “Someone’s Ugly Daughter” while working on her album Daydream. The lead vocals were provided by Clarissa Dane, her former roommate.
An excerpt from her memoir that accompanies the tweet revealed:
I’d bring my little alt-rock song to the band and hum a silly guitar riff. They would pick it up and we would record it immediately. It was irreverent, raw, and urgent, and the band got into it. I actually started to love some of the songs. I would fully commit to my character. I was playing with the style of the breezy-grunge, punk-light white female singers who were popular at the time. You know the ones who seemed to be so carefree with their feelings and their image. They could be angry, angsty, and messy, with old shoes, wrinkled slips, and unruly eyebrows, while every move I made was so calculated and manicured. I wanted to break free, let loose and express my misery– but I also wanted to laugh. I totally looked forward to doing my alter-ego band sessions after Daydream each night.
