Mariah the Scientist’s ‘Hearts Sold Separately’ mixes love potions and pensive emotions
Mariah the Scientist has emerged from her lab with a new album, “Hearts Sold Separately.” Fueled by “Burning Blue,” which hit No. 1 on Billboard’s rhythmic airplay chart and No. 25 on the Billboard 200, “Hearts Sold Separately” pensively explores love and relationships, themes synonymous with the former St. John’s University biology student. The 10-track project, with Kali Uchis as the sole feature, is the fourth album from the R&B singer-songwriter who’s crafted huge records like “From a Woman” and “Spread Thin.” Mariah is also the girlfriend of Grammy-winning rapper Young Thug, who pleaded guilty in October 2024 to gang, drug and gun charges in Georgia. He was sentenced to time served and 15 years of probation.
