an elastic talent who moved easily from glossy ballads to hip-hop-inspired dance-pop Born in New York to mixed race parents, she was discovered as an 18-year-old by the Sony svengali Tommy Mottola, who signed the high-powered singer after hearing her demo tape at a party, he later married Carey (20 years his junior) in 1993 But their professional relationship lasted longer than their wedded bliss The dysfuntional nature was referred to in the semi-autobiographical movie, 'Glitter', and Carey and Mottola divorced in 1998 She has now claimed to have found happiness with new partner Luis Miguel CLEARANCE DETAILS TITLE: Loverboy ARTIST: Mariah Carey WITER: Carey/Blackmon/Jenkins PUBLISHER: Sony / EMI LABEL: Virgin Glitter 20th Century Fox (20) 7437 7766 TITLE: Hero ARTIST: Mariah Carey WRITER: CAREY/ AFANASIEFF PUBLISHER: WARNERCHAPPELL/ SONY ATV MUSIC PUBLISHING LABEL: COLUMBIA/ SONY (20) 7911 8200 TITLE: Fantasy ARTIST: Mariah Carey WRITER: CAREY/ PAUL/ WEYMOUTH/ FRANTZ/ STANLEY/ BELEW PUBLISHER: UNIVERSAL ISLAND MUSIC/ WARNER CHAPPELL LABEL: COLUMBIA/ SONY (20) 7911 8200 TITLE: Amor Amor Amor ARTIST: Luis Miguel WRITER: TBC PUBLISHER: TBC LABEL: WEA LATINA (20) 7937 8844
