[Exclusive] Mariah the Scientist Unveils New Album Details

Source: Reach Media / Radio One Hot 107.9's iconic Birthday Bash 2025 was a night to remember with R&B sensation Mariah the Scientist hitting the stage as a surprise guest. She sat down with DJ Misses for an exclusive interview backstage, and gave listeners a glimpse into her upcoming album and creative process. Mariah's enthusiasm was evident as she revealed, 'This project feels like my best work yet. It's different from anything I've done before.' She also disclosed that for the first time, she crafted some of her songs without instrumentals, building beats around her lyrics later. This shift from her previous process, where she'd often source beats from platforms like YouTube, allowed her to take a more hands-on, intentional approach. READ MORE STORIES When pressed about the release date, Mariah shared an August timeline, hinting at an exciting summer for her fans. While she's still narrowing down a title for the album, her creative indecision only signals the depth of thought she's pouring into the project. 'I don't want to say I'm indecisive,' she laughed, 'but I've been going back and forth. It's hard because this one means so much to me.' DJ Misses couldn't help but get hype about Mariah's hit single 'Burning Blue,' noting how it 'tears the club up' even as a slower track. For Mariah, the night was about more than just teasing new music; it was a celebration of artistry, resilience, and connection. 'I love coming home,' she said. 'Atlanta's energy is unmatched, and being here for Birthday Bash is so special.' Fans can expect an unforgettable album from Mariah the Scientist, packed with heartfelt lyrics, fresh sounds, and the unparalleled authenticity that has made her a standout in R&B. Stay tuned for August—this is one project you won't want to miss.

GloRilla Drops Inspirational Video For 'Rain Down On Me'

Just two days after headlining Hot 107.9's Birthday Bash, GloRilla has dropped the music video for her track, 'Rain Down on Me!' The inspirational offering from her latest album, Glorious , features gospel mainstays Kirk Franklin, Kierra Sheard-Kelly, Chandler Moore, and Maverick City Music. Sampling Franklin's 'Melodies From Heaven,' the track was a surprise hit from Big Glo, landing at #1 on Billboard's Hot Gospel Songs chart in October 2024. It also debuted at #2 on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart. The track received renewed interest earlier this month when it won the 'Dr. Bobby Jones Inspirational/Gospel Award' at the 2025 BET Awards. While many fans were happy for her win, there were some gospel purists (including one notable artist) who thought that BET was 'pandering' to the rap audience by giving her the win. Either way, GloRilla has no problems showcasing the various layers of her being and expressing her gratitude for God, and we wouldn't want her to be any other way!
