MARIAH Carey is set to release her first memoir revealing all the dark moments in her life including her “failures and family trauma.”
The hitmaker’s book titled, The Meaning of Mariah, is scheduled to hit shelves on September 29, Andy Cohen Books and Audible revealed on Thursday.
The upcoming book — which can now be pre-ordered — was written by the Grammy winner with Michaela Angela Davis, and will let fans and readers stories from the singer’s past that have never been touched on before.
A statement about the book’s release date read: “Carey’s story is an improbable and inspiring journey of survival and resilience as she struggles through complex issues of race, identity, class, childhood, and family trauma during her meteoric rise to music superstardom.
“By pulling back the curtain on perceptions often told through the filtered lens of media, Carey bravely and beautifully walks through her battles with gender and power dynamics, emotional abuse, public embarrassments, personal failures, and phenomenal victories.
“In her own words and song lyrics, Carey reveals untold moments and intimate experiences along with anecdotes of sacred moments with iconic figures to craft an honest, unique, and vivid portrait of her extraordinary life.”
The iconic star also took to Instagram to discuss her memoir.
She wrote: “It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir.
“I want to tell the story of the moments — the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams that contributed to the person I am today.”
Mariah, 50, added: “This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival and my songs. “Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice.
“I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.”
No word yet on what stories will be included in the memoir, but one has to wonder if Mariah will touch on her marriages to Tommy Mottola and Nick Cannon — the latter who she shares two kids with.
The Glitter actress is currently dating Bryan Tanaka.
The pair has been linked for years with the 37-year-old first taking to the stage with Mariah on her Adventures of Mimi tour way back in 2006.
