Ella Mai Opens Up About Mary J. Blige Mentorship: 'There's Nobody Else I Want To Guide Me'
Ella Mai actually collaborated with Mary J. on multiple tracks on her Heart On My Sleeve album and she gushed to HipHopDX about working with one of her idols.
“Mary is one of my all-time favorites,” the British singer said. “She’s been a part of my life since I was very, very young, so when I was putting the album together I wanted somebody else to tell this story for me as opposed to me telling it through the music. I wanted someone to guide me almost, and there’s nobody else I want to guide me if I’m speaking about love.
“She told me, ‘Listen, it’s life, and it is what it is.’ We all know Mary’s story because she’s been very, very honest with everything. If there’s one person I’ll always take advice from, it’s her. If the torch is being passed down, I don’t want to put words out there, but if so I’m honored.”
