Mariah The Scientist reveals “Hearts Sold Separately” tracklist

Mariah The Scientist is gearing up to release one of her most personal and anticipated projects to date. Her upcoming album, Hearts Sold Separately, officially lands on August 22, and fans finally have a clear look at what to expect. With the official tracklist now revealed, the buzz surrounding the album is quickly turning into full-blown excitement.

The R&B songstress has always had a knack for vulnerable storytelling and smooth, melodic vocals. Now, she’s doubling down with a dual-sided structure, high-profile collaborations, and a deeper emotional journey. Here’s everything you need to know.

A Two-Part Album Built Around Emotional Storytelling

Hearts Sold Separately is split into Side A and Side B, each containing five songs. This intentional structure signals more than just an aesthetic choice — it reflects an album designed to tell a full story in two emotional acts.

The two-sided format allows Mariah to explore contrasting tones. Side A feels like it might represent the heat of heartbreak and confusion, while Side B leans into reflection and healing. For fans of concept albums and cohesive storytelling, this setup is already a major win.

“Burning Blue” Leads the Way With Gold Certification

Before unveiling the tracklist, Mariah built serious momentum with the album’s lead single, “Burning Blue.” The song has already earned gold certification in the United States and peaked at #25 on the Billboard Hot 100.

“Burning Blue” is moody, raw, and atmospheric — showcasing exactly what Mariah does best. Her voice floats over minimalist production, and the lyrics paint vivid emotional pictures. It’s the kind of track that resonates long after it ends, which explains why it became such a fan favorite and earned commercial success.

This single is a cornerstone for the album and highlights Mariah’s growing presence in contemporary R&B. For new listeners, it’s a perfect entry point.

New Single “Is It A Crime” Featuring Kali Uchis Heats Up

To keep the anticipation going, Mariah dropped her second lead single, “Is It A Crime,” just days ago. This time, she teamed up with genre-blending superstar Kali Uchis, and the result is as captivating as it sounds.

The collaboration blends neo-soul, bilingual lyrics, and velvet-smooth production. Kali’s dreamy vocals pair perfectly with Mariah’s emotional delivery, creating a track that’s both sultry and sorrowful. It’s a standout release that expands Mariah’s sonic palette while keeping her signature vulnerability intact.

This isn’t just a guest feature for streaming numbers — it’s a thoughtful collaboration that adds depth to the project. Kali Uchis brings her own emotional weight to the song, making it one of the album’s most anticipated moments.

Full Tracklist for Hearts Sold Separately

With 10 tracks total, the album keeps things concise and intentional. Every song title gives a glimpse into the emotional terrain Mariah is mapping out.

Side A includes:

  • Burning Blue
  • Is It A Crime (feat. Kali Uchis)
  • Tangled Words
  • Cold Intentions
  • Flowers On My Grave

Side B continues the narrative with:

  • Another Life
  • Night Drive
  • Temporary High
  • Closure Call
  • Last Letter

From titles like “Flowers On My Grave” and “Last Letter,” it’s clear that this album is rooted in themes of love, loss, memory, and healing. The song names are poetic and melancholic — classic Mariah — and hint at the emotional range the project promises to deliver.

A New Milestone in Mariah’s Career Trajectory

With every release, Mariah The Scientist has grown stronger as both an artist and storyteller. Her ability to write from a place of pain, honesty, and subtlety has earned her comparisons to some of R&B’s most revered names.

What makes Hearts Sold Separately different is the level of maturity it seems to carry. From the album’s structure to its collaborations, it feels like the project will act as a bridge from rising talent to mainstream recognition.

Her last few years have been packed with steady growth — from standout festival performances to streaming success — and this album could mark her official crossover moment.

Why This Album Matters in 2025’s R&B Landscape

In an era filled with fast drops and TikTok-fueled singles, Mariah is choosing to build a body of work. Hearts Sold Separately is intentional — it tells a story, carries emotion, and builds an immersive atmosphere.

More importantly, it comes at a time when R&B is evolving. Artists like SZA, Summer Walker, and Victoria Monét are redefining what vulnerability and womanhood sound like in modern music. Mariah The Scientist fits perfectly into that conversation — not as a copy, but as a unique voice bringing her own perspective.

She balances atmospheric beats with soft-spoken truths, creating space for those who don’t always shout their pain, but still want to feel heard. And that’s what makes her music so quietly powerful.

Fan Reactions and Social Buzz

Since the announcement of the release date and tracklist, fans have taken to social media to express their excitement. Hashtags like #HeartsSoldSeparately and #MariahTheScientist have trended across X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, with fans sharing theories about the album’s meaning and lyrical direction.

Many are especially eager to hear how the Kali Uchis collab fits into the overall tone of the album — and whether “Burning Blue” sets the tone for the rest of the project’s sonic palette.

What To Watch For Before the Drop

With Hearts Sold Separately dropping on August 22, here’s what to keep your eye on in the coming weeks:

  • Visuals: Mariah is known for her cinematic music videos. Expect at least one or two more before the album arrives.
  • Interviews and Performances: As the rollout continues, we may get deeper insight into her inspiration and recording process.
  • Merch Drops: Fans are anticipating limited-edition vinyl or themed bundles — especially with the Side A / Side B structure.

Hearts Sold Separately is shaping up to be Mariah The Scientist’s defining album. It’s not chasing trends — it’s chasing emotional truth. With thoughtful sequencing, a gold-certified hit, and a feature from one of Latin music’s brightest stars, this album might just become one of 2025’s standout R&B projects.

For anyone who’s ever sat with heartbreak, overthought a text, or written a letter they never sent, Mariah’s music hits where it hurts — in the best way possible.

Set your reminders for August 22. This album might be sold separately, but it’s made for everyone who’s ever loved deeply.
