Solange is showing major love to Mariah Carey, and now she’s officially part of The Emancipation of Mimi legacy. To celebrate the album’s 20th anniversary reissue, Solange produced a dreamy, chopped-and-screwed remix of Carey’s 2006 single “Say Somethin’,” now available exclusively on the Digital Deluxe Edition.
Ahead of the release, Solange shared her excitement on Instagram Stories, posting a throwback interview clip where she once said she had plenty of songs she’d love for Mariah to sing, if ever given the chance. She followed that up with a heartfelt note of appreciation, writing: “i love uuuu so much mom @mariahcarey tyyy so muchhh,” alongside a video of herself dancing to the track.
The full Emancipation of Mimi (20th Anniversary Edition) package includes more than just Solange’s remix. Fans are also treated to a Kaytranada rework, which dropped in April, and an unreleased song called “When I Feel It.” The latter was originally intended for the 2005 album but was shelved due to clearance issues, it samples The Dynamic Superiors’ “Here Comes That Feeling.”
“I’m really happy to celebrate ‘Mimi’s Emancipation’ with this special anniversary re-release,” Carey said in a statement. “While working on this edition, I got to relive all the memories from this pivotal moment in my personal and professional life. This album has some of my biggest hits to date, as well as some personal favorites that are very special to me.”
“Forgotten gems, unreleased bonus tracks, and different remixes with incredible collaborators — all of these and more are now available in one place for the first time ever!”
The anniversary release brings new energy to a classic era, with Solange fulfilling her young dreams of collaborating with Mariah.
