Ella Mai

Ella Mai is a British singer-songwriter whose work sits in contemporary R&B with clear roots in 1990s soul and slow-jam traditions. Her sound features smooth, emotive vocals over polished production that combines electronic and traditional R&B elements, and her lyrics often focus on romantic and personal themes. She emerged in the late 2010s and is associated with a wave of artists revisiting classic R&B styles within a modern pop and hip hop-influenced context.
