As long as Mustard makes another bop 4 her, she should be good. BTW IAMKRISSMITH got the credit for something that I requested MONTHS ago. It's all good tho
She hasn't fall off at all. She's taking a break just because she's not putting out slutty or trashy music like Srxy Redd or Ice Spice. She's still young and very attractive and has a lot of talent. So I'm sure she'll drop some music next year. She has a 90s R&B soul in her. She might not big as Adele or Dua Lipa since there both from the UK. But let's not write her off cause she's has a lot of growing and learning to do.
@@larrymarshall8900finally someone speaking sense. I actually went to her concert last year and she gave one of the best concerts I’ve been too. Using her talent without being attention seeking. She will forever have my respect 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@olgooddays5795 Thank you for saying that. I hope she never have to go down the slutty or skeezer route to sell or stream her music. Continue to keep it classy Ella.
@@larrymarshall8900 “Another Sad Love Song” was supposed to be the lead single from her 2nd project and that flopped, we haven’t heard from her since lol. She definitely has fallen off. **Edit** I forgot her second album was even released, if that not a sign that she’s fallen off I don’t know what is lol.
She still growingly Artist wise and recently she was still touring her "big impact" will still come don't worry people give it time . My favourite songs by her are trip Naked The songs which feat latto and another with John legend Hide This is
By Ella not acting ratchet butsin it open and twerking to become more popular is the reason I like and respect her more that some of the other mainstream r and b female artists that’s based off a gimmick
I forgot about her. You couldn’t get away Boo’d up it was everywhere. I feel like every artists have their time it might not be that long but she made her mark.
@JeremiahSpeaks I used to like her music too and still do Sevyn was my girl and she is very beautiful and talented, I hate she isn’t doing anything now.
yea that's what i'm thinking lol.......might be a little too early to say her growth has been stunted lol. but considering what ice spice is doing ella might wanna pick up the pace. ella looks like she's in the same mold as keyshia cole non vulgar r&b songstresses but she COULD end up like keyshia cole who delivered a lot of hits but whose growth WAS stunted because she was supposed to be the next mary j blige.
@@fallback8314trip was way back in 2019/2018... That's 6 years ago. Bruh, she ain't did much of ANYTHING since. She fell off. This is the streaming era on top of that, so it ain't no sales money coming in. U can much easier gauge an artist's float life these days. I asked a good while ago how nobody noticed that Ella Mai disappeared. Marsha Ambrosius is similar minus the fact that she's a writer for other artists. Ppl didn't even notice the fast decline or paltry numbers...
I loved “Didn’t Say”, “Not Another Love Song”, and “How” from her second album. But I’m never obsessed with artists trying to crank out hits just for the sake of it, as the author alluded to. I just never want talented people to stop making music even if it’s only when they have something to say. When you have a strong enough fanbase and enough music, you can still sell out shows. And yea, Ella is here to make music and stay out the way. I’m not mad at that, either.
I hope she comes back with another project I feel like there has been a resurgence in R&B music that this is the best time to get her name out there again.
Good episode. She is so dope as a artist that she can be a lil mysterious but she maybe should drop more music. It’s motivational episode for me. Saved. 🔥🔥🔥
She got in because she was marketable based mostly on her aesthetics. She can sing but I never saw it as sustainable in this industry. And then Mustard used her as a breakout artist but didn’t want to put money into her after that one hit.
Yes. She looked like all the other girls and I never felt she would last anyway. There was nothing that made her stand out and while the songs were good, it was generic rnb.
@@brittanydenton9966thank you I was wondering why these comments were acting like she was so good when in reality she’s just decent or just there. She doesn’t stand out in the slightest and while I liked her first album her follow up was just bland ash
I agree! And H.E.R. is a much more versatile artist, even more lowkey. Was just listening to her this morning and said to myself ain’t nobody worried about Ella no more when we got H.E.R. 🤣🤣💯
I love both her hits Ella Mai "Boo'd Up" and "Trip". I can listen to those song everyday. So she is official to me if she never does nothin else. Her sound is throwback to the 90's and I love it. It also helps that she looks like a couple of girls I went to high school with in the early 90's.
Khalid has an album coming out. He just released a new song. Is it weird that I think these “Where are they now?” series should be reserved for people who have been out the game for at least 10 years? Lol
i'm surprised oversaturation wasn't mentioned as a factor. Boo'd up literally became the soundtrcack to my nightmares, it was inescapable. By the time her next single dropped, I didn't want to hear anything else from her.
I have an old comment floating somewhere around here on youtube saying Ella Mai would vanish as soon as she signed with Sony. I knew it. Sign a new contract just to get shelved! New artists keep falling for the same tricks over and over again. Smh
I like this channel because I learn things about artists I didn't know before but sometimes I think this channel makes it judgment too soon. watch her have a new hit next year or something.
I still love her chill vibe on her songs, her voice is so underrated I still believe in her. I will agree tho she be taking mad long to release a single or album idk if that’s her or the label but the point still stands.
We know now in 2024,behind the scenes play a major role in how far your aloud to progress and succeed in the business, she’s talented, and mystery will always be intriguing. Never sell out.
I was just mentioning h.e.r. she did a new song recently on.....DIDDY'S new album 🤯. It's called space check it out. Great song until Diddy had to ruin it at the end. So turn that shit off around the 4:30 mark.🤣
Nah Jacquees overstepped on this because he shot and released a video for his cover before hers and had his cover on radio stations etc. That essentially made it his song in the eyes of listeners. Not cool.
Her downfall for me was her people blocking Jacquees version of Trip instead of embracing it, making it a remix, and maybe a collab later. Maybe worked with producers n songwriters that would make her step her artistry up. She’s great though!
@@olgooddays5795 relax, you made some great points but why so hostile towards ppl having an opinion like you. 😂 these ppl could care less about us and he’s still known. However, stealing from others isn’t cool but I’m sure you could’ve conveyed that without looking so aggressive. Bye bye ❤

It's sad that the ones who can actually sing get overlooked just because they're not showing enough tits & ass on IG at the same time or in some useless online beef with "personality X." I like Ella Mai and thought her second album was fresh too. Hopefully she'll have something to surprise us a thousand times over with album #3. I'm not counting her out yet! 😄Nice video BTW as always, keep doing ya thing @stuntedgrowthmusic
Ella Mai just needs a rebranding . . . New stylists who would help her craft "an image" a la the iconic Rihanna haircut and cutting edge attire which took Bhad Ghal RiRi from small time R&B artist to Superstar.
She definitely took it. They can do whatever they want with her now. Imagine selling your soul for some short lived fame. Now you got to stand infront of The Most High God when you die.
Do Lola Brooke next, a couple of years ago people swore she was going to be the next biggest female rapper. She had so much hype and buzz around her, and now, she’s nowhere to be found. I always wondered why her career never really popped off like Ice Spice, Glorilla and Sexxy Redd.
Ella Mai tracks Boo 'ed up and Trippin are almost Diamond........She is very talented but she's not built for fame, that's Why she choose to play the background.........Can't blame her at all
She took to long to release her 2nd album and didn’t keep momentum going. Sza released ctrl in 2016 and took years to release sos but she was featuring on other popular artists songs & interacted with people building a fan base on social media. She also released singles from sos and promoted them well and made the era last long. Ella and her team had a great rise but she took her foot off the peddle when she could’ve continued to ride the wave. She still however did accomplish great things with her first album that other artists dream of accomplishing so still kudos to her!
Honestly she's not the problem, it's just that people consume music differently now and people lose interest so quickly. I feel like she can pop again but if it happens is to be seen.
Janet Jackson deserves one for sure. It's actually wild how drastically the Superbowl incident derailed her career, and karmically one of the main people that led her blacklisting is facing sexual assault allegations himself. Other singers/rappers who should get one are Lorde, Aaliyah, Ciara, Kelis, Gina Thompson, Nicole Wray, Blaque, Teairra Mari, Amerie, JC Chasez, Miguel, Chris Brown, Bilal, JoJo, Big L, Leikeli47, Lute, Earthgang, Normani and Omeretta
havent people learned from cassie not everyone wants to be a sex worker to have a career in music.. some of these women aren't recording (and men) because they dont want to do what people have to do to maintain fame..
@@queenofnyc5584 But have you heard the news about him lately. He had slapped Chris Rock. When was the last time he had released an album?! The last movie that was released with him in it had flopped. So he definitely needs to be here
She probably is not willing to PLAY THE GAME to become a big name. The industry is a tricky arena where morals and self respect are not acceptable. I enjoyed the music she produced regardless what she decides to do.
She's far from stunted.. That's subject to opinion. She's still doing her thing.. She is maintaining well without being a that or making it about her physical.. she's a very naturally beautiful girl
The problem is the white pop star can be oversaturated with paint by numbers girls. Black r&b artists unfortunately as talented as they are doesnt have that luxury. Baggy clothes is a poor excuse to why she is stunted. Billy Eilish wears nothing but baggy clothes (not granted Billy is louder, more opinionated, etc). The record companies and PR are to blame. And im starting to think people dont care about full bodies of work. Singles and tik tock sessions rule and that stinks. Also UK artists, there are so many who are super talented, just have a harder time breaking through. Its impressive she had a huge hit and awards. Unless your name is Adele, UK female artists even with talent, struggles here
I'm a massive fan of hers. Loved both of her albums, but I agree she should be a lot bigger than she is right now. Her laid back image is a vibe and set the tone for the R&B wave that blew up in the late 2010s. But she is not releasing nearly enough music to stay at the top of the game. She doesnt necassarily have to release more projects, but at least get on some features, do interviews, podcasts stay out there and maintain that R&B Princess title that was given so early on.
You know yea she doesn’t shake and expose her body, and this “will hurt her right now” I think this will benefit her extremely well in the long term if she continues her career but she HAS to continue for it to benefit her in the long run. Because her career will have more longevity due to her brand not being based on her sex appeal. So w Ella Mai
Hold up now. Kendrick Lamar literally post nothing on social media and has about 4 year wait time between albums. Different genre I get it, but she makes good music. Maybe just maybe, as much as people say they want good music, maybe people don’t want it as bad as they say they do. I’m saying they cause i listen to both her albums and love em both. If the culture wanted good music as the culture says it does, the culture would support her instead of sexy red.
Can Ella Mai get back to her Grammy award winning height?
Yes....If she puts out some good music.
Absolutely
she found her meal ticket and going to be a mommy
As long as Mustard makes another bop 4 her, she should be good. BTW IAMKRISSMITH got the credit for something that I requested MONTHS ago. It's all good tho
Naw
She has the talent to NOT be naked all over the place, be ratchet.... she's actually elegant. She isn't stunted AT ALL
I mean yet, look what happened to Janelle monae.
any peice of art or media you put out has to be multi dimensional in order to be appealing. it's not alawys about being half naked all the time.
@@DruggyP tell that to the dumb consumer
Boo up just went 8x platinum the other day
I think this one is a little premature. She's still a vibe and has time to grow.
She hasn't fall off at all. She's taking a break just because she's not putting out slutty or trashy music like Srxy Redd or Ice Spice. She's still young and very attractive and has a lot of talent.

Great way of using Ice Spice as a comparison... nailed that..
She probably is not willing to PLAY THE GAME to become a big name. The industry is a tricky arena where morals and self respect are not acceptable. I enjoyed the music she produced regardless what she decides to do.
She covering one eye in the thumbnail .
This is gonna be another good Stunted Growth.
The illumanti wanted her to do more requirement sacrifices , she said no and that’s why she’s kind of stayed out of the spotlight 🕊️duh
It's time to pay up. You know how this industry is.
Ayy bro can you do a stunted growth on Nonchalant?she had the song 5’oclock in the 90s,not sure about the south but was pretty big here up north.
She didn't want to sell her soul. I respect "One Hit Wonders." They believed it didn't profit them to gain the whole world but lose their soul.
Ella Mai is perfection not only can she sing but has personality is relative ❤
She's far from stunted.. That's subject to opinion. She's still doing her thing.. She is maintaining well without being a that or making it about her physical.. she's a very naturally beautiful girl
Can you do Lloyd Banks, Soulja Boy Or Bow Wow?
He did those artists already.
The problem is the white pop star can be oversaturated with paint by numbers girls. Black r&b artists unfortunately as talented as they are doesnt have that luxury. Baggy clothes is a poor excuse to why she is stunted. Billy Eilish wears nothing but baggy clothes (not granted Billy is louder, more opinionated, etc). The record companies and PR are to blame. And im starting to think people dont care about full bodies of work. Singles and tik tock sessions rule and that stinks. Also UK artists, there are so many who are super talented, just have a harder time breaking through. Its impressive she had a huge hit and awards. Unless your name is Adele, UK female artists even with talent, struggles here
I'm a massive fan of hers. Loved both of her albums, but I agree she should be a lot bigger than she is right now. Her laid back image is a vibe and set the tone for the R&B wave that blew up in the late 2010s. But she is not releasing nearly enough music to stay at the top of the game. She doesnt necassarily have to release more projects, but at least get on some features, do interviews, podcasts stay out there and maintain that R&B Princess title that was given so early on.
You know yea she doesn’t shake and expose her body, and this “will hurt her right now” I think this will benefit her extremely well in the long term if she continues her career but she HAS to continue for it to benefit her in the long run. Because her career will have more longevity due to her brand not being based on her sex appeal. So w Ella Mai
Man she was my prototype so fine..
Ong . I freaking love her still do especially the late 2010s wassup TMT 💯 love your content
Hold up now. Kendrick Lamar literally post nothing on social media and has about 4 year wait time between albums.
Different genre I get it, but she makes good music. Maybe just maybe, as much as people say they want good music, maybe people don’t want it as bad as they say they do. I’m saying they cause i listen to both her albums and love em both.
If the culture wanted good music as the culture says it does, the culture would support her instead of sexy red.
After me and my girl started getting freaky to her songs, she disappeared 😂
Ella Mai is good God Bless her
ELLA MAE IS BEAUTIFUL, SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ILLMODEST & SEDUCTIVE, HER MODESTY IS ALLURING PRETTY BEAUTIFUL & WONDERFUL VOICE ETC
