New Single “Is It A Crime” Unveils Mariah The Scientist and Kali Uchis’ Romantic Chemistry


Mariah The Scientist releases “Is It A Crime” with Kali Uchis ahead of new album launch.
Mariah The Scientist and Kali Uchis have come together on “Is It A Crime,” a sultry, emotionally layered single that continues the lead-up to Mariah’s album HEARTS SOLD SEPARATELY, arriving August 22.
With lush production from Matt1k and Nineteen85, the track creates a nostalgic yet modern soundscape. Its central line—“Is it a crime to fall in love a couple times, tell me?”—captures the song’s core message of honesty in love.
“Is it a crime to fall in love a couple times, tell me? What’s it to ya, tell me? Is it a crime?”
Fresh off the success of “Burning Blue,” Mariah earned a spot in The Recording Academy’s 2025 class, while Rihanna’s support added further spotlight to her ascent.
Mariah will soon perform at Lollapalooza, take the stage for a special Vic Theatre fan show, and speak at ENVSN Festival this month.
