Mariah Carey tells Stephen Colbert that her secret alt-rock album was something she did “for laughs.” The pop diva caused a stir on Twitter when she revealed she made an alt-rock album in the ’90s under the fictional band name “Chick”. “[Alt-rock] was such a popular genre at the time.

I was like, ‘Well, I have a full band here, let’s just do something and I’ll just make up some nonsense and sing it,'” Carey says on “The Late Show”.
