Mariah Carey - Rainbow

Released in the year 2000 by Hal Leonard Corporation, this publication serves as the official matching folio for Mariah Carey’s seventh studio album, Rainbow. Following the massive commercial success of the album, which was released in late 1999, this songbook was designed to provide fans and musicians with authorized transcriptions of the tracks. It captures a pivotal moment in Carey’s career, documenting her transition into a more R&B-focused sound and her continued dominance on the pop charts at the turn of the millennium.

The folio includes piano, vocal, and guitar chord arrangements for the complete tracklist of the album, including hit singles like Heartbreaker and Thank God I Found You. Hal Leonard, a premier publisher of music education and performance materials, curated these arrangements to mirror the technical production style of the record. Upon its release, the book was received primarily by the artist's fan base and student musicians as a standard resource for performing Carey's intricate vocal arrangements and complex melodic structures.
