Ella Mai Explains Relationship Expectations, Motherhood and This R&B Era

Ella Mai stopped by HOT 97 to talk to Nessa about her new album Do You Still Love Me?, out now. She opens up about asking herself the album’s title question, how motherhood shifted her perspective, and what it was like recording during pregnancy and postpartum. Ella also reflects on stepping into more vulnerability in her music, why certain songs were emotionally challenging to finish, and how her growth over the last 10 years shaped this project.

She and Nessa also get into love, dating, and relationship expectations — from her thoughts on 50/50, to picking your battles, to what giving “100” really looks like now. Ella discusses reuniting creatively with DJ Mustard, her place in today’s R&B era alongside artists like Kehlani and Summer Walker, and what she hopes fans understand about her when they listen front to back. Stream Do You Still Love Me? now.
