Mariah the Scientist stopped by The Tonight Show to perform a medley of two songs, “Rainy Days” and “Burning Blue.” Both tracks appear on the R&B singer’s most recent album, Hearts Sold Separately.
The musician offered a dramatic rendition of the songs, complete with costumes and a haze of smoke. The military aesthetic from the performance mirrored the LP’s stark artwork, which depicts a single toy soldier in front of a pink background.
Mariah the Scientist recently spoke with Rolling Stone about crafting Hearts Sold Separately, her fourth album. “The climate of the world made me want to make a whole project about love,” she said. “I feel like nobody prioritizes love. Everybody looks at love like it’s a problem. I feel like back in the day, it wasn’t like that. Everybody wanted to have a family unit and be married.”

She continued, “Now it’s like everybody is shying away from that a little bit. I just feel like there’s this long-standing war between men and women and I don’t know what that’s about. I wish it wasn’t like that, but it just is. And the more men and women I meet, I realize even though we are all human, there are huge fundamental differences that you don’t really acknowledge when you’re younger. I just feel like I’m Eve and I fucked around and bit the apple or something. Now I see everything totally different than what I thought it was. That was the catalyst of everything I wrote.”
The singer will embark on a world tour in support of the album next year. The 36-city jaunt includes a North American leg following stops in Paris, the U.K., and the Netherlands. It will begin in Paris on Jan. 12, and end in her hometown of Atlanta next April.
