she needs to create something for the thots/tiktok if she wants to succeed in this era
This. She is way too regular for these music fans. She needs to get naked or start talking about sex. If she was white she could get away with this, but not a black artist. no way

only perceived jezebels go viral

She flopped because the album sucked. Her previous projects were so much better. I can't stand when artists that have their own unique sound are forced into making music that resembles everything else that's out. Way too many features and who thought it was a good idea to call DJ Khaled?

She ain’t a plant, the music just ain’t resonating with people. She been signed for over a decade since she was a teenager. Everybody knows she’s talented but the music just ain’t grabbing people and the label didn’t really do shyt to promote it either

Ella Mai doing fine without that. SZA just had an acoustic smash hit that isn’t about sex. This is perhaps one of the best times ever to be a black female artist. Nothing to do with thot music.

I’d argue it’s more to do with her not having white fans. White girls fukk with SZA, Summer Walker, Jhene Aiko, Ella Mai, etc. All these chicks have heavy social media presence, personality, and relationships. HER doesn’t have any of that. She reminds me of EP-era Tinashe. Can’t connect with people for whatever reason. Too mysterious. It worked during the SoundCloud era when she was building buzz but it’s not translating to larger audiences.

I actually liked her album...she don't make tik tok thot songs so she was destined to flop...if their was a betting line on her flopping I would have put all of my savings accounts on it...

Who is the r&b female singer who moves album units but doesn't do tik tok thot rap ? I can't think of one...

This shyt bang though...best traditional r&b song I heard all year...
