R&B singer-songwriter, Mariah the Scientist, is set to drop her much anticipated fourth album, expected to be out late in August. Creating a buzz among her fans, Mariah has shared a glimpse into her upcoming collection, ‘Hearts Sold Separately’, with the release of the track, ‘Is It a Crime’. The melodious piece is intensified by the exquisite contribution of Kali Uchis’ captivating vocal strength.

‘Is It a Crime’, a soulful lyrical masterpiece, speaks about love from both Mariah the Scientist and Kali Uchis’ perspectives. Mariah passionately queries, ‘What’s it to ya? Is it a crime? To fall, to fall in love, a couple times?’ A reflective Uchis further contributes her thought-provoking lyrics, ‘Is it a crime? How’s it a crime? If loving me is jail, then you’re my prisoner’.

The song was beautifully crafted by Mat1k and Oliver Easton, showcasing their production prowess. The heartfelt track will find its place in Mariah’s ‘Hearts Sold Separately’, which is due for release on Aug. 22. The collaboration with Kali Uchis adds an additional layer of intrigue and richness, promising an exciting listening experience for fans.
