In addition, a bonus set of 17 tracks from her recordings at the Tokyo Dome in 1996, including ‘Emotions’, ‘Always Be My Baby’, and ‘Open Arms’ will come with the album.
Fans have been expecting new releases from Carey in June after she teased at the idea of something new. “I had planned to share some surprises and rarities with you, but prefer to postpone them to a later date,” she wrote about the festivities for the 30th anniversary of her self-titled debut.
