Ella Mai – Boo’d Up

A gem of a love song that wraps the sweet emotions of falling in love in a contemporary R&B sound.

Crafted by UK artist Ella Mai, the track takes its title from a slang term for intimate relationships between lovers and delicately voices the fluttering heart of a woman in love.

Released in 2017 as part of the EP “Ready,” it gradually gained popularity through social media and clubs, ultimately achieving the remarkable feat of winning Best R&B Song at the 2019 Grammy Awards.

Its sound—an exquisite fusion of classic ’90s R&B essence and modern beats—perfectly suits those wistful twilight moments.

It’s a recommended listen for anyone thrilled by a new romance or in the mood to bask in sweet, romantic vibes.

In Japan, when we say a “cool” track, it’s usually a sharp, hard-hitting rock sound.

Of course, those songs are cool too, but some of you might be getting tired of that kind of obvious standard, right? For those people, I recommend this track: DFMU.

It’s a masterpiece by Ella Mai, a leading female singer-songwriter in the contemporary UK R&B scene, crafted into a refined slow jam.

If you want to savor a cool, deep track, this is a must-check.

Babyface & Ella Mai – Keeps On Fallin (Official Audio)

If this song gives you a sense of nostalgia, you’re probably well-versed in early ’90s R&B or spent your youth in that era.

In June 2022, the world-renowned music producer and singer-songwriter Babyface released the track “Keeps On Fallin,” featuring Ella Mai, the hugely popular UK-born songstress in today’s R&B scene.

As mentioned at the outset, while it’s a contemporary track, it’s steeped in a nostalgic vibe that recalls classic R&B, drawing on the melody and track of Tevin Campbell’s 1993 hit “Can We Talk,” which Babyface produced and which became a massive success.

For Babyface, it can be seen as a kind of self-homage, resulting in a fresh song where nostalgia and modernity intersect.

This kind of refined R&B is sure to be a perfect fit for long autumn nights!
