Mariah The Scientist ft Kali Uchis – Is It A Crime

On the heels of the success of her first single “Burning Blue,” Mariah The Scientist has delivered her follow-up single: “Is It A Crime” featuring Kali Uchis.

The sultry new collab arrives ahead of the release of Mariah’s fourth studio album, HEARTS SOLD SEPARATELY, next month on August 22.

Mariah The Scientist is very serious about love, and she has no problem reminding her audience of this on “Is It A Crime” Mariah and Kali’s intentional songwriting matches well with Matt1k and Nineteen85 production, and builds a world that today’s hopeless romantic can momentarily lose themselves in. “Is it a crime to fall in love a couple times, tell me? What’s it to ya, tell me? Is it a crime?” There’s an abundance of replay value baked into the song’s refrain alone.

There’s a reason Mariah The Scientist isn’t afraid to get real with her listeners these days. She delivered one of the preeminent R&B hits of 2025 with the outwardly vulnerable “Burning Blue,” and the charts have responded in kind.
