Mariah the Scientist

Mariah The Scientist is a singer-songwriter from Atlanta, GA, whose 2025 single “Burning Blue” has accounted for one of the biggest R&B hits of the year. The Top 25 single on the Billboard Hot 100 earned no. 1 spots on the Billboard Rhythmic Airplay and Mainstream R&B/Hip Hop charts and earned Mariah the fifth RIAA Gold plaque of her career. Her latest album, HEARTS SOLD SEPARATELY, released in the summer of 2025, is her biggest and most influential work to date, powered by “Burning Blue” and the album’s second Hot 100 hit, “Is It a Crime?” featuring Kali Uchis. Mariah’s critically-acclaimed fourth studio album debuted at no. 1 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart and no. 11 on the Billboard 200 during the first week of release, earning the new project the distinction of being the highest debut on either chart in her career. Release week also marked three hit singles on the Billboard Hot 100 for the album including “Burning Blue,” “Is It a Crime?,” and “Sacrifice.”

“I’m dead serious about this love sh*t,” the singer says about the vulnerable songwriting that has themed her career. Mariah began building her loyal following with a four-song EP, To Die For, released to Soundcloud in 2018. Two EPs and two studio albums later, she established herself as a bonafide R&B star with the 2024 release of her critically-acclaimed third studio album, To Be Eaten Alive, her first full-length solo project released via Epic Records. The resulting To Be Eaten Alive World Tour and career highlights, which included co-signs from Rihanna and an induction into The Recording Academy’s 2025 New Membership Class, indicated the new heights her HEARTS SOLD SEPARATELY era has pushed her to reach.
