Ella Mai on Heartbreak, Mariah Carey & J. Cole

Ella Mai stopped by HOT 97 on 4/28/22 to talk to Nessa before her album Heart On My Sleeve dropped. They talk about not seeing her family for 2 years during the pandemic, how she came up with the title, "Heart on My Sleeve", going through heartbreak and her takeaways from it, things she will and won't deal with in dating, her DMs, working with Latto, J. Cole pushing her out of her comfort zone, going on tour with Kehlani, meeting her idols and Mariah Carey, breaking down barriers being from London, how New York has shaped her and dressing up as B2K for Halloween.

❤ I remember watching a vintage movie but it interests me so deeply I don’t know what anybody’s interpretation of it is but mine but the guy came out he had an umbrella and it was raining and he said singing in the rain but now I’m gonna see singing in the rain but there’s no such pain to gain so I have to give myself a hug I have to kiss myself I have to pinch myself and say this is so damn real who I am in my feelings so don’t get bit by a crocodile cause it’s very painful So sing in the rain you have a new love the game you have to train for the big catalog caused you going to be in for the long run❤

She way past her time in music..she’s top tier and her music is relatable for women 30 and over even though she is 28. She is so mature for her age and will probably date someone older because of her mindset. Can’t wait to see her in concert. 😀😀😀

I hope this time around it will work out for her, being hurt twice by the same person it’s not good. Also, I went to her concert 4/22/23 and she is amazing live.

Greetings. Taurus and Scorpio info: When Taurus and Scorpio come together in a love affair, their union is nothing if not intense, whether that’s in a positive or a negative way. They are opposite Signs in the Zodiac, giving them a special, complex connection. They can combine to make a whole, each partner’s strengths balancing the other’s weaknesses. We are opposites astrologically, but not adversarial, more complimentary. Peace to all!
