Ella Mai, sensational artist of the hits “Boo’d Up” and “Trip”, released her debut album this month after breaking the record for most weeks at Billboard No. 1 by a female artist on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. The self-titled album already ranks No. 4 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and No. 5 on the all genre Billboard 200.
Mai’s British speaking voice captivates you with the first track “Emotion”, beginning an acrostic poem of her name that ties themes throughout the album. On songs like “Dangerous”, “Sauce”, “Naked”, and “Own It”, Mai paints a complex image of herself that portrays confidence with moments of vulnerability and sweetness. Her voice enchants, and sounds astonishingly similar to Beyonce’s.
Features from H.E.R., Chris Brown and John Legend invite elements of storytelling and bring wildly different styles to compliment Mai’s versatile voice.
Mai has performed recently with SZA and Cardi B, check out her website for tour dates and more exciting news.
