Mariah Carey reveals she made secret alternative album

Mariah Carey has revealed she worked on an alternative rock album in the 1990s.

The singer has shared a snippet from her memoir, 'The Making of Mariah Carey', on Twitter which featured a section about recording the alternative album with rock band Chick when she was making her fifth studio album 'Daydream', which was released in 1995.

She insisted she created the project just for laughs, but it got her through some dark days.

Mariah shared a clip of Chick song 'Demented' playing over the top of an excerpt from her book in which she explains she wanted to break free, let loose, and express her misery - but also wanted to laugh.
