Oh, I love the live production for "Trip." The song still hasn't gotten old to me.

I figured she’d do BU but was hoping she’d showcase any of the great album tracks.

Gorgeous SNL set. BU will always be THAT SONG. It's relatable that captures the purity of falling in love.
Currently I'm obsessed with ”Cheap Shot”. Love that acoustic guitar!

2018SONY/ATV GETS BOO'D UP Sony/ATV has inked a global pub deal with breakout British artist and songwriter Ella Mai, whose "Boo'd Up" (Ten Summers/Interscope) was one of the year's freshest-sounding hits as well as one of the biggest—and is a Grammy Song of the Year contender. Discovered and developed by DJ Mustard and signed to his label, the London-born 24-year-old broke out with "Boo'd" and followed that with "Trip," an R&B #1. Her self-titled album bowed in the Top 5 in October. There was a lovely tea party to celebrate her new deal, and everyone there issued a quote! Pubbery Co-President, U.S. Rick Krim described her as "an astonishing new talent who has rightly emerged as one of 2018’s biggest breakout artists," while searching for some marmalade to go on his toast. Co-Head of West Coast A&R Jennifer Knoepfle added: "Ella is one of the most exciting new artists to emerge this year," as she inspected her scone. Sony/ATV Senior Director, A&R Jennifer Drake said: "Ella Mai is not just an R&B singer, she’s the epitome of a superstar that transcends cultures, genres and time. Now, who wants bickies?" Ella Mai said: “I’m looking forward to working together in the New Year! Who's got my spoon?" Meko Yohannes of 10 Summers Management said: "We are excited about this partnership with Sony/ATV and look forward to working together to build Ella’s catalog. Pass the butter, please." DJ Mustard added: “She’s the GOAT. She deserves it! Is this Darjeeling?" hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=314524&title=SONY-ATV-GETSBOO

I can't wait for her to step out and work with someone other than DJ Mustard. I like her, but the album is way too same-y with these beats.
Even the more soulful ones with the 90s sounding keyboards were sort of cheapened by the finger snaps.

Weird you write that because I honestly think this is the first time where I felt DJ Mustard didn't sound samey with his beats on her release. I am curious about her working with other producers, but I wouldn't be mad if she sticks with Mustard for a couple of more albums before she branches out.

I read the credits and his name is all over it.

The only classic sounding song is "Whatchamacallit" which is the worst song on the album. However all his other productions sound nothing like he did before.

Since no one posted yet:
"Boo'd Up" is nominated for Song of the Year and Best R&B Song at 2019 Grammy.
I actually prefer her album over H.E.R.'s (even if I love both). I feel like she's a bit overshadowed by the latter in this award season.

Any guess on the next single? "Shot Clock" is doing its thing on the radio but I feel like it doesn't stand a chance of becoming sth as big as "Boo'd Up" and "Trip".

If they want that multi-week Urban/AC smash, best to drop Gut Feeling. That seems to be the obvious choice from the get go. The problem is that H.E.R. won't likely be joining her for any promo...

Gut Feeling just feels like an R&B Grammy-winning song. I want either that or Close, because she hasn't released any ballads yet and those are my two favorite ones from her album.
