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.

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.”
