Ella Mai

"Ella Mai has the voice, the attitude, and the way with a melody that could have her at the top of the R&B charts with piles of pop-crossover potential for years and years to come. Her album might be suffering from a case of bloat, but it doesn't detract from the talent she clearly has. Besides, when the sky is the limit, can you really blame an artist for throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks?".

"It's an impossibly confident debut, filled with slick production and choruses that'll be caught in your head for weeks at a time. What could have been a scrappy attempt to capitalise on the success of 'Boo'd Up' is instead a stellar collection of R&B jams. Confident, relevant and full of gorgeous instrumentation, Ella Mai's debut proves that she is more than worth the hype".

"Ella Mai's raw talent and likeability, and showcased in her spontaneous-feeling Instagram cover versions, got her noticed by DJ Mustard in the first place. But on Ella Mai, her abilities don't always find an assured direction, and it calls into question just how quickly this record was put together in the wake of "Boo'd Up"'s summer dominance. Mai's album will likely bring her a couple of radio hits-"Sauce" is an undeniable heater. But a lack of focus means that, on her debut, the instant, infectious rush of Mai's warm personality proves a little more elusive to find".
