Mariah the Scientist: HEARTS SOLD SEPARATELY - A Deeper Dive
Hearts Sold Separately captures the complexities of love and heartbreak, transforming personal experiences into relatable songs. Mariah the Scientist's artistry shines through her honest exploration of relationships, especially notable considering her support of Young Thug, her boyfriend, during his legal battles.
While her previous album, To Be Eaten Alive, received mixed reviews, Hearts Sold Separately marks a positive shift. The album's production creates a unique atmosphere, described as a "frozen landscape" with Mariah's voice radiating warmth.
The involvement of Nineteen85 as executive producer has elevated the album's overall quality, adding texture and depth to the music. Tracks like "No More Entertainers" and "Is It a Crime" (with Kali Uchis) showcase this improved production, enhancing the emotional impact of Mariah's lyrics.
