Mariah The Scientist Sets August 22 Release Date for New Album

Mariah The Scientist is set to release her new album, Hearts Sold Separately, on August 22, 2025, following the success of her hit single 'Burning Blue,' which reached No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 2 on Apple Music's U.S. chart, marking her best performance in 2024. The album cover features a green toy soldier against a pink background, symbolizing themes of vulnerability and emotional strength. Mariah has built a dedicated following since her 2019 debut and continues to assert creative independence by producing music independently after previous label experiences. Her recent performances, including a standout set at the 2025 Essence Festival's Coca-Cola stage, have further amplified anticipation for the album. Hearts Sold Separately will be her first full-length release since 2023's To Be Eaten Alive, which featured collaborations with artists like Young Thug and 21 Savage and explored themes of love and resilience. Fans remain excited about the project, which showcases her signature emotionally rich, poetic R&B style.
