Chick — Someone's Ugly Daughter (1995) Rare CD
The Album Mariah Carey Did Not Want You to Know She Made
Someone's Ugly Daughter is one of the most unusual and genuinely fascinating releases in 1990s alternative rock. Released in 1995 under the band name Chick, the album was secretly co-written and performed by Mariah Carey at the absolute peak of her commercial career — but due to label decisions at the time, the project was kept entirely separate from her mainstream pop identity. Mariah co-wrote every original track on the album and performed background vocals throughout, while lead vocals were credited to Clarissa Dane.
Why This CD Matters
For Mariah Carey fans, this is genuinely essential listening. The album is the polar opposite of her commercial output — raw, scrappy, alternative rock with attitude, recorded at a moment when the music industry would never have allowed one of the world's biggest pop stars to publicly release this kind of material. Decades later, Mariah herself has finally acknowledged her central role in the album — turning a long-forgotten 1995 curiosity into one of the most sought-after Mariah-related collector items in existence.
Malibu was the first single, serviced to alternative rock radio in 1995. Demented followed as the second single later the same year. The album closes with a cover of Cheap Trick's Surrender — the only track on the record not co-written by Carey.
