The song samples the iconic Fugees hit ‘Killing Me Softly with His Song’ and features Ms. Lauryn Hill’s transcendent vocals from the original song. ‘Save The Day’ sends a message that inspires hope, resilience and most importantly people coming together for the collective good.

“I started writing this years ago,” she says in her notes for THE RARITIES, “and the message rings true now more than ever: ‘We’re all in this together’.”

A career-spanning compilation of remarkable previously unreleased Mariah Carey recordings from 1990 through 2020 – THE RARITIES is a revelatory musical retrospective, celebrating Carey’s exceptional artistry and vision through hidden musical jewels from her personal archives.

When compiling THE RARITIES, Carey delved into her archives, selecting songs with personal relevance and meaning, some of which are further explored in her upcoming memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey.

The album will include a second disc of never-before-released full length audio from Live at the Tokyo Dome, Carey’s first concert performance in Japan around her 1996 Daydream World Tour.

THE RARITIES is part of #MC30, an ongoing commemoration of the 30th anniversary of Mariah Carey’s debut album and the continuous evolution of her stratospheric career. Weekly #MC30 releases have included digital EPs, remixes, bonus cuts, rare tracks, a cappella moments and mind-blowing live performances. The music is accompanied by video footage, photos, personal notes from Carey and physical releases. #MC30 kicked off with the release of THE LIVE DEBUT – 1990 in July.

Carey’s recently announced memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, will be released on September 29, 2020. Available for pre-order, the memoir will dive deep into Carey’s intimate journey of survival and resilience, facing complex issues of race, identity, class and trauma during her journey to monumental success.
