Crave Records was a record label founded by Mariah Carey in February 1997,[1] as an imprint of Sony Music Entertainment. It was shut down in July of the following year.[2] The name "Crave" originates from "Demented", a song Carey wrote for the 1995 alternative rock album Someone's Ugly Daughter.[3][4] This was kept a secret until it was revealed in her 2020 memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey.
Acts signed to the label included DJ Company, female R&B quartet Allure, who released a self-titled album in 1997 featuring the hit singles "Head Over Heels", "All Cried Out", and "Last Chance", as well as male R&B quartet 7 Mile, who released a self-titled album in 1998.[1]
