“Apprehensive” to do a holiday album
The “All I want for Christmas is You” singer hasn’t always been keen on recording holiday music. In fact, she hesitated to record a holiday album when her record label first suggested it.
“I was a little bit apprehensive … I was like, ‘I don’t know that I should at this juncture,'” Carey told the Associated Press earlier this month. “Because, you know, I was very young and was just starting out and I felt like people do Christmas albums later in their lives.”
She added, “But now people have started to do them whenever, like right at the top of their career. So, I mean, what was I feeling like? I was a little bit apprehensive and then I was like, ‘I love this.’ And I decorated the studio and just had the best time.”
Carey ultimately gave in and is now celebrating the 30th anniversary of her holiday album, Merry Christmas. She grew up knowing she wanted to be in the spotlight and is now considered one of the best-selling female artist sof all time.
“I mean, really with me, it was always, ‘I want to be a singer. I want to write songs.’ But ‘I want to be famous’ was right there with it,'” she said. “I feel like it was probably because I didn’t feel like I was good enough on my own because of the things I went through growing up. And that’s not a good way to feel, you know?”
She’s been around the block for a while, but she’s not ready to ride off retirement… yet. The singer recently told Vanity Fair she’s currently working on new music — and at least one of these songs will likely get you into the holiday spirit.
“So just say we have new music coming out and I’m very excited about it. I can’t wait to put it out, but it won’t be for at least until next year,” she told the outlet. “… I did write a Christmas song this year, but I don’t know how we’d talk about that. Because I can’t talk about these things, because then people get mad at me and say I’m teasing them.”
