News about Ella Mai

Coachella is kicking off this Friday, with thousands of fans and celebrities heading to the fashionable music festival.  The annual music and arts festival brings together some of the biggest artists in the industry and thousands of celebrities, influencers, fans, and music lovers from around the world. Held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, in the Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert, the festival features acts that span several genres including rock, pop, hip-hop, and electronic.

Ella Mai's presence on the internet is more like hanging out with one of your closest friends. So much so, you'd be forgiven for forgetting that she's actually a Grammy Award-winning performer with a massive fanbase and two smashing albums under her belt. The 28-year-old girl has a confidence beyond her years and a warmth that makes you feel at ease; rare characteristics in the world of fame. And it's also apparent that her family's thoughtful words hold her grounded. "My brother told me something really cool a few years ago, and he said it's your own voice when you speak to yourself in your head." she tells POPSUGAR about how she avoids negativity on social media. "So if you're reading a note from someone that you have no idea who they are from, you're reading it to yourself, which validates it a lot more." I'd never thought of it that way, but it was like a new thing unlocked in my head."

If it isn't triggered by Beyoncé, the 2023 Grammys conversation seems to be just incomplete or willfully delusional. The mega-star is at the forefront of this year's nominations, totaling nine, but it's the story surrounding her appearance on the show (and this one in particular) that's the driving force throughout the season. Fans have been pining for a rematch after Adele's 25 beat out Bey's Lemonade at the 2017 show. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Grammy season, but it doesn't seem quite right. Bey's Renaissance is so much bigger than a pop album; it's a history lesson in Black and electronic music that doesn't sound like (and isn't) a party. Who wouldn’t be in the corner of an album like that?

Ciara stole attention when she arrived at the Black Music Collective's performance at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on Thursday. With a mermaid train, the Goodies hitmaker, 37, sizzled in a backless low-cut black velvet hooded gown that displayed her tone and her long cleavage. The singer, who recently rocked a LBD for a night out, accessorized the fashionable style with a gold glove and wreaked her bleach blonde tresses in curls underneath the velvet cape.

The highly awaited list of 2023 Grammy nominees has finally arrived, and it includes some of the country's best-known artists. The Recording Academy announced nominations in all 91 categories this year, including Olivia Rodrigo, John Legend, and Machine Gun Kelly. Beyoncé is leading this year's pack of nominees for her "Reignaissance" album, making her the most nominated woman in Grammy history. Kendrick Lamar's "Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers" album has eight nominations, followed by Adele and Brandi Carlile, who tied for seven overall nominations. Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Doja Cat, Jazmine Sullivan, Mary J. Blige, and Bad Bunny were among the Grammy nominees for the first all-Spanish language project of the year.

Beyoncé's Renaissance is more than an album title. On Tuesday (November 15), she received nine Grammy nominations, including top accolades of Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year, as well as a trio of R&B nods and two nominations in the dance/electronic fields. Kendrick Lamar follows her with eight noms, some of which are for his boundary-pushing film "The Heart Part 5." Adele also cleaned up, nabbing seven (alongside Brandi Carlile), and Harry Styles, Mary J. Blige, Future, DJ Khaled, and The-Dream all received six.

Rashad D. Grove explains it. Lucky Daye has emerged as a torchbearer of the genre's rich past while still curating music that defies categation. Daye, the multiple Grammy award-nominated singer-songwriter, has been redefining modern R&B, as he says, "a futuristic sci-fi world influenced by Afrofuturism's inspiration." In other words, Daye's prolific songwriting and penchant for producing mesmerizing melodies have taken his listeners back to the future. He claims that this unique feature makes him stand out amongst his peers.
