        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Visions of vintage Mariah Carey are back.</p><p>In celebration of the 30th anniversary of her self-titled debut — which came out June 12, 1990 — the octave-leaping diva is taking it back with her <a href="https://twitter.com/MariahCarey/status/1283975903652065284" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">#MC30 Friday series that kicked off on Friday</a>.</p><p>Fittingly, the Long Island-born singer revealed footage of an early showcase at New York’s now-defunct Club Tatou in 1990. With her curls in full effect, wearing a crushed-velvet minidress, Mimi left no doubt that she was going to be a melismatic force to be reckoned with for years to come.</p><p>“We don’t acknowledge numbers, but we do acknowledge when it’s time for a celebratory moment!” the 50-year-old Carey — who typically refers to her birthdays as “anniversaries” — <a href="https://twitter.com/MariahCarey/status/1283975311340732416" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tweeted on Friday</a>.</p><p>And what a moment it was when Carey, accompanied only by piano and three background singers, announced her arrival before she was even old enough to drink at Club Tatou.</p><p>The archival footage also arrives with a digital EP, “<strong>The Live Debut — 1990</strong>,” which captures Carey’s performance at the intimate venue. Also included are her breakout single “Vision of Love,” another No. 1 ballad, “Love Takes Time,” and “Vanishing,” one of her best early deep cuts.</p><p>There’s also a gospel-fied rendition of Ben E. King’s “Don’t Play That Song (You Lied),” which <strong>Aretha Franklin</strong> covered on her 1970 album “Spirit in the Dark.”</p><p>“I need an extra song, so I added ‘Don’t Play That Song for Me,’ by Aretha Franklin, and it’s like I do it in concert . . . I say to the people, ‘This was originally recorded by the incomparable Aretha Franklin,&#8217; and I just say it so they know I don’t think I’m even coming close to the way Aretha sang it, but this is my tribute,” Carey said in an archival interview.</p><p>The five-time Grammy winner also added, in true diva fashion, a disclaimer on Twitter: “The olive green crushed velvet ensemble was not my choice!”</p><p>Stay tuned for more MC dish when she <strong>releases her memoir</strong>, “The Meaning of Mariah Carey,” on Sept. 29.</p>]]></content:encoded>
