Today, GRAMMY-winning global recording artist Kali Uchis releases Sincerely: P.S., the deluxe version of acclaimed fifth studio album Sincerely. Out now via Capitol Records, the expanded set adds five songs to the tracklist of her most personal project yet, including dreamy new single “Pretty Promises” featuring Mariah The Scientist.
Last weekend, Uchis’ brought her biggest tour yet to a grand finale at The Intuit Dome in Los Angeles — a full-circle moment after kicking off The Sincerely, Tour with back-to-back sold-out shows at the nearby Kia Forum. With each stop (which included two nights at Madison Square Garden as well) she took the audience on a multi-phase journey beginning with Sincerely, and traveling back in time through every one of her critically adored albums. She’s also brought out special guest performers along the way, including Peso Pluma, Tyler the Creator, SZA, Steve Lacy, JT, Rauw Alejandro, and Ravyn Lenae. In Atlanta, Mariah The Scientist joined to perform their recent team-up for her album, “Is It a Crime,” before she and Uchis previewed “Pretty Promises,”.
“Pretty Promises” is the second in a pair of duets exclusive to Sincerely: P.S. — Uchis announced the album last month alongside new song “Cry about it!” featuring Rayvyn Lenae. The duo then performed the bilingual cut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, bringing its lush, modern doo-wop to life on a set designed to look like the inside of a ballerina jewelry box.
Written and executive-produced by Uchis — and arriving after her becoming a mother — Sincerely, is her most intimate work to date. A testament to the curative power of deep love, and a stunning representation of the way Uchis romanticizes life, the album hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and includes the singles “All I Can Say,” “Sunshine & Rain…,” and “ILYSMIH.” Rolling Stone called the set “a vulnerable meditation on motherhood and memory, adding, “It’s all there, together: love and hurt, heaven and earth, birth and loss.” Uchis spoke on the LP’s inspiration with Billboard, Marie Claire, Los Angeles Times, and Zane Lowe, among others.

Global superstar and GRAMMY-winning recording artist Kali Uchis has been hailed as a rare talent since she emerged. With artful forays into R&B, alt-pop, reggaeton, and Latin strains, she’s has released several of the most lauded albums of the past decade: from her 2015 mixtape Por Vida, to her 2018 debut LP Isolation, the 2020 Spanish set Sin Miedo (del Amor y Otros Demonios), 2023’s Red Moon in Venus, which features the 2x Platinum-certified “Moonlight,” and was regaled by TIME Magazine as the ‘Best Album of the Year,’ 2024’s ORQUÍDEAS, and now her most personal body of work, her fifth studio album Sincerely,.
In 2024, ORQUÍDEAS launched Uchis’ career to new heights. Her highest charting album to date (debuting at #2 on the Billboard 200), the critically adored record — which was her fourth album overall and second in Spanish — was led by crossover singles like the Platinum-certified “Igual Que un Ángel” with Peso Pluma (#1 on Hot Latin Songs, #23 on the Hot 100) and Gold-certified “Labios Mordidos” with KAROL G (#10 on Hot Latin Songs, #97 on the Hot 100). ORQUÍDEAS was nominated for Best Latin Pop Album at the 2025 GRAMMY Awards, Best Pop Vocal Album at the Latin GRAMMYs, and took home trophies from the Billboard Latin Music Awards and Latin American Music Awards. The set closed the year on numerous “Best Albums” lists, racking up glowing praise from countless outlets including Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Complex, and The New York Times.
Amid consistent acclaim and honors — including nine GRAMMY-nominations and a 2021 win in the category of Best Dance Song for her appearance on Kaytranada’s “10%” — Uchis’ major breakthrough came with her own 2021 smash hit “telepatía,” which has been streamed more than 2 billion times to date and was the Hot 100’s longest running Spanish-language song by a solo act this decade with a 23-week streak. Uchis is now on the way to reaching the Spotify Billions Club three times over with the smash success of songs “telepatía,” Tyler, The Creator’s “See You Again” featuring Uchis, and soon to be “Moonlight.” Raised between Virginia and Colombia, Uchis has gone on to collaborate and share the stage with the likes of SZA, Tyler, The Creator, Lana Del Rey, Gorillaz, Snoop Dogg, Rauw Alejandro, and her longtime partner Don Toliver, with whom she welcomed her first child last year. Uchis has toured the world over on multiple sold-out headlining runs, the most recent of which saw her playing arenas, as well as celebrated sets at Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, Austin City Limits, Tropicalia, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and many more.
R&B singer-songwriter Mariah The Scientist hails from Atlanta, GA, and released her first studio album on Epic Records, To Be Eaten Alive, in October 2024. The album, which featured guest appearances from 21 Savage, Kaytranada, Vory, and Young Thug, earned Mariah the first Billboard 200 debut of her career and a Top 50 placement on the Billboard R&B Albums chart. It spawned the To Be Eaten Alive Tour, a sold-out trek through Europe and North America, as well as Mariah’s spot on Latto’s Sugar Honey Iced Tea Tour, which brought the To Be Eaten Alive experience to legendary venues like Barclays Center and the Brooklyn Bowl in Las Vegas.
Her core following, cultivated through visceral emotional expression on her first three projects — Master, Ry Ry World, and The Intermission — continues to grow and helps position her as one of R&B’s brightest young stars. Mariah’s musical curiosity was born in childhood, exposed to a variety of musical acts by her father. “Coldplay comes [to Atlanta], someone that he was definitely playing for me as a child, and then I open for them,” she recalls. From there, Mariah’s journey took her to NYC via St. John’s University, where she studied pediatric anesthesiology. Though she halted her scholastic pursuit to chase her dreams as an entertainer, the “Scientist” moniker stuck with her. That said, it’s Mariah’s art that makes her unique.
The vulnerable, raw expression that composes much of Mariah The Scientist’s catalog distinguishes her from much of today’s mainstream landscape, something she’s keen on continuing even as her profile grows. From performances at Coachella and Pitchfork Music Festival to collaborations beside Lil Baby, Youngboy Never Broke Again, Chris Brown, A Boogie, and Young Thug — not to mention her performance at the latest BET Awards of the Billboard Hot 100-charting “IDGAF” with Tee Grizzley — there’s no debating that Mariah is worthy of the spotlight. Still, she refuses to take the opportunity to genuinely connect with her audience for granted. “I don’t think that creating art should be super forced. When you try to force art, you don’t like it. At least the creator winds up not liking it. And a lot of times, people don’t realize that.”
