Rapidly rising R&B starlet Ella Mai announces The Debut Tour in support of her self-titled debut album, which dropped on Friday, October 12th to critical acclaim. The outing is set to launch in the UK in January 2019, and then travel to Paris, Amsterdam and other European cities. In February, the artist will land stateside and zigzag across the country through the month of March.
Executive produced by Mustard for 10 Summers/Interscope Records, Ella Mai had a great first week landing at #5 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart with over 69K in equivalent album units. The accomplishment marks the largest first week for a female debut R&B artist in more than four years. The stunning debut features special guest turns from EGOT-winner John Legend on “Everything,” R&B vocalist H.E.R. on “Gut Feeling,” and R&B bad boy Chris Brown on the upbeat fan favorite, “Whatchamacallit.”
It’s been a phenomenal year for the 23-year-old singer-songwriter. Her breakthrough single “Boo’d Up” went quadruple-platinum and recently made history as the longest running #1 by a woman on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. The follow up “Trip” broke into the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 and is certified gold. Both songs are included on the new album.
Ella Mai is out worldwide now. Tickets for The Debut Tour go on sale October 26th. See dates below!”
