Mariah The Scientist’s latest single “Burning Blue” has soared to No. 2 on Apple Music’s U.S. charts, marking the highest placement for a female artist on the platform this year.
The track, a vulnerable ballad reflecting on heartbreak and healing, continues to build anticipation for Mariah’s next album. Floating vocals and sparse instrumentation set the tone as she balances fragility and strength in her songwriting.
The Atlanta artist gained widespread attention with her 2022 platinum single “Spread Thin,” and has since released Ry Ry World and To Be Eaten Alive, both praised for their emotional depth.

At Billboard’s Women in Music 2025, Mariah confirmed her next album is finished, though no release date has been revealed. Fans are also hoping for a reunion track with Young Thug, who appeared on her last album and supported her new single online.
The couple made headlines last fall when Mariah left Latto’s tour to be with Thug following his release from jail. They’ve since been spotted courtside at Lakers games as Thug prepares his album UY SCUTI, which launched its rollout with the Future-assisted “Money on Money” in April.
It remains unknown if Mariah will appear on Thug’s upcoming project.
