August 31, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Babyface and Ella Mai unveil the official video for their new single “Keeps On Fallin’.”

The modern R&B track’s opulent romantic visual grabs its inspiration from Regency-era courtship rituals. Starring Emmy and GRAMMY winning actress/comedian Tiffany Haddish as the queen mother and Kendrick Sampson (Miss Juneteenth, “Insecure“) as the handsome prince who is courting Ella Mai. Babyface, who plays a duke, joins them for an extravagant meal as a string quartet plays while the bubbly flows.

“Keeps On Fallin’” is the first single from Babyface’s new project, Girls Night Out, set to be released by Capitol Records on October 21.

Described as a sonic journey through love, heartbreak and all of the emotions in between, Girls Night Out will give classic Babyface with a modern R&B twist. The album features the iconic hitmaker collaborations with some of today’s most sought after female R&B stars, including Ari Lennox, Queen Naija, Doechii, Kehlani and more.

Take a look at the new visual from Babyface featuring Ella Mai shot at the historic Malibu estate Villa De Leon by director/cinematographer Ava Rikki.

Ella Mai Gets Her Groove Back In The Retro-Styled ‘How’ Video With Roddy Ricch

July 28, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Don’t cross Ella Mai, or she and her associates will make you regret it. That’s the basic premise of the London-bred, LA-based singer’s new, retro-styled video for “How” featuring Roddy Ricch and Mustard. In it, Ella is stuck in an unfulfilling relationship with a very wealthy man, and with the help of her comrades Mustard and Roddy, plots an escape that leaves her beau breathless — literally and permanently. In the final shots, she hits the road with a car full of luggage, presumably to get her groove back.

“How” is the third single from Ella Mai’s second album, Heart On My Sleeve, which also features the singles “Not Another Love Song” and “DFMU” and appearances from Latto, Roddy, and Lucky Daye. The album was once again executive produced by Mustard and released through 10 Summers and Interscope Records on May 6, debuting at No. 15 on the US Billboard 200 with 20,000 album-equivalent units — the majority in pure album sales. If there’s truly an R&B renaissance taking place, Ella Mai is certainly at its forefront; Heart On My Sleeve landed at No. 2 on Billboard‘s Top R&B Albums chart.

Meanwhile, “How” co-star Roddy Ricch has been enjoying a bounce-back summer behind his new EP, The Big 3, which made up for the disappointing reception for his own sophomore album Live Life Fast.
