Mariah The Scientist is looking to fan the flames of the scorching “Burning Blue” into her next album.
The Atlanta native isn’t wasting any time parlaying her momentum as Mariah announced plans for her Hearts Sold Separately LP, which is scheduled to arrive on Aug. 22 via Epic Records.
“HEARTS SOLD SEPARATELY… 08/22 | Link in bio,” she captioned the post. The cover art features a pink backdrop with Mariah turned into a mini-green army figurine, while the back cover finds her broken into plastic pieces with the 10-song track list blurred out.
She’s teased features on the project, but even those with 20/10 eyesight in the Air Force are going to have trouble depicting the names and song titles. “Comment ur guess which # you’re claiming off top,” the 27-year-old added in the comments.
Mariah received plenty of love in her comment section as well from peers like Kali Uchis, Coi Leray, JT, Ryan Trey and Lori Harvey. “This cover is [fire],” JT wrote.
Mariah set the world ablaze with her “Burning Blue” single in May, which debuted at No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100, the highest-charting hit of her career.
“Over time, you start realizing [people] want you to change things,” Mariah told Billboard in June. “Everybody wants to control your art. I don’t want to argue with you about what I want, because if we don’t want the same things, I’ll just go find somebody who does.”
Perhaps Mariah The Scientist will drop off another single in the meantime to continue her winning streak. Look for Hearts Sold Separately to land on Aug. 22 and check out the lavender-splashed militant cover art for the LP above.
