R&B heavyweights Ella Mai and Bruno Mars have kickstarted the year’s release calendar with fresh tracks and album announcements, per ratedrnb.com.
Ella Mai has returned with “100,” a devoted anthem produced by Mustard and Keanu Beats. The track serves as the third glimpse into her upcoming album, “Do You Still Love Me?,” arriving February 6.
The song’s casino-themed music video features Mai and a romantic interest in a high-stakes game of Blackjack. Speaking on the project, Mai revealed that motherhood has sharpened her creative focus. “I’ve never been more sure of what I want to say,” she noted, citing her transition from pregnancy to postpartum as a primary influence on her new perspective.
Following a decade-long wait for a solo project, Bruno Mars has released “I Just Might.” The dancefloor-ready single, co-produced with D’Mile, previews his fourth studio album, “The Romantic,” scheduled for release on February 27.
The global star also confirmed The Romantic Tour, a 40-date stadium run kicking off April 10 in Las Vegas. The tour will feature an impressive roster of special guests, including Anderson .Paak, Victoria Monét and RAYE. Mars teased that the setlist may include Silk Sonic hits, provided he and .Paak stay on good terms through the rehearsals.
