R&B heavyweights are in the building on this one!

Mariah The Scientist continues to build momentum toward her upcoming album HEARTS SOLD SEPARATELY with the release of her newest single, “Is It A Crime,” featuring Kali Uchis. As fans eagerly await the rollout, there’s also curiosity around whether Mariah or her boyfriend, Young Thug, will drop first. Whatever the case may be, this track should get you ready for her project.

“Is It A Crime” stands out for its atmospheric production: murky synths, distorted textures, and a slow-burning percussive rhythm that feels like it’s swimming in deep emotional waters. Mariah’s vocals are raw and vulnerable, sounding almost broken down as she questions the cost of love. Her delivery feels confessional, as if every note carries the weight of a sleepless night.

Kali Uchis enters the track like a dream—her voice soft, celestial, and removed from earthly pain. She floats over the beat with a fairy-like presence, creating a sharp but beautiful contrast with Mariah’s more grounded delivery. The two artists reflect on falling in love more than once with the same person, each line hinting at past hurt, healing, and confusion.

For fans of emotionally rich R&B with an experimental edge, “Is It A Crime” is a must-listen. Give the track a shot below.
