In mid-September 2001, Mariah Carey’s ’80s pop-star rom-com Glitter was derided by critics and moviegoers, understandably overshadowed by current events. Its soundtrack, which features Carey singing a mix of originals and period-appropriate remakes, was the first album to be released in her post-Columbia career, and she melded Y2K-era hip-pop and ’80s freestyle and electro with impressive results. Tied together by Carey’s world-dominating voice, Glitter the album features a spirited version of Cherelle’s Minneapolis funk classic “I Didn’t Mean to Turn You On,” the sinewy Rick James-produced “All My Life,” and the Cameo-sampling “Loverboy,” which evokes the summertime bounce of “Honey” and features four guest MCs, including Da Brat and Ludacris. Glitter fizzled at the box office and on the charts, but in the late ’10s, an online campaign to elevate the album from cult-classic status led to Carey finally re-embracing its legacy. The deluxe edition’s bonus cuts—which include her wrenching take on Irene Cara’s Fame ballad “Out Here On My Own,” a medley of the bittersweet ballad “Never Too Far” and the uplifting “Hero” that was released as a charity single in the wake of 9/11, and a rework of “Didn’t Mean to Turn You On” with Rochelle Jordan—are capped by the medley of Glitter tracks she played on 2019’s Caution World Tour, the first time she’d included any Glitter material in her set list.
