Mariah Carey
Recording New Album Was Tough
… After Mom, Sister Died

Mariah Carey‘s celebrating the upcoming release of her new album … but she’s opening about a tragic time in her life in a new interview, revealing there was a lot more going on behind the scenes of the recording than most of her fans knew.
She told Gayle she was able to make peace with her mother, but she wasn’t able to do the same with Alison … she says she felt “really badly about” not being able to patch up her differences with her sibling before her death.

The interview wasn’t all sad, though … Mariah was also asked about her connection to Anderson .Paak, who’s featured on one of the album’s tracks.

Mariah played coy when asked about the gesture, and described Anderson as a “handholding club” … but did say there was “something special” about having him around at Christmastime.
