Mariah Carey Casta Diva

Author: Valentin Grimaud

A biography that reveals everything Mariah Carey has contributed to American music, recounting, through her career, the issues of racial mixing. Everyone knows Mariah Carey: her vocals, her Christmas hit, her diva antics. But few people know the artist. Frequently dismissed out of snobbery, underappreciated, she is not, however, a simple singer: a complete musician, at once a polished backing singer, a vocalist with an atypical instrument whose full possibilities she explores, she is a valuable lyricist and committed producer. A singer with a hybrid image, a mix of singer, pop star and rapper, an important figure in the crossovers between white and black music, Mariah Carey helped to ratify the fusion, then unprecedented in the 90s, between the worlds of pop and hip-hop. Casta diva draws the mythology of the artist, which owes as much to fantasies as to her undeniable talent.
