Coco Jones & Ella Mai are the Hot New R&B Sounds

Coco Jones & Ella Mai Are the Hot New R&B Sounds

What’s hot? What’s new? Cut off CNN and Fox News, you can find out what’s going on by listening to music. All around the world, music is used as a means of transformation. Who’s excited about Coachella? This year we’ll see Puerto Rico and South Korea come together in California.

This blog post will discuss what’s hot and new in R&B music. I feel R&B doesn’t get enough coverage. Did you miss Coco Jones and Ella Mai’s arrivals on the red carpet at the 2023 Grammys? They were stunning and dazzling in their gorgeous dresses. Besides dressing for the part, these stars lit up the room that night with their smiles. With the Oscars right around the corner, you can relive the Grammys here.

Listening Experience

I believe music is all about coming away with an experience. Listening to Coco Jones and Ella Mai is just not enough for a fan. You have to experience them. Like I wrote in a recent post, to truly get it we have to feel it. But how can you do this when it seems like everything is digitized and virtual? There was a time when music was physical.  

Do you think the R&B genre could receive more respect? Nowadays, it seems pop music has taken over the air waves. But that’s alright.

Music reflects the good or bad times. And we’ll get through the toughness with the smoothness. Coco Jones’s voice is so smooth. And Ella Mai is slick with her sound.

Success

It’s only a matter of time before they do a big duet together. Could Jones and Mai do something similar to Beyoncé and Alicia Keys’ Put It in a Love Song or Jazmine Sullivan and H.E.R.’s Girl Like Me? Is this the new R&B sound? With the help of Babyface, these young ladies have recognized their true potential. Coco Jones is experienced as a Disney singer/actress, She was born in Columbia, South Carolina, USA. Her success was by design.

Of course, Ella Mai is an R&B superstar in her own right. She was born in London, England, UK. Both singers have something extraordinary to give to this world. Their music is the new R & B sound but they are not newbies. I firmly believe you can tell a lot about a musician by their music. Music is art.

ELLA MAI

The singer has released 2 studio albums called “Ella Mai” and “Heart On My Sleeve” to date. The “Ella Mai” album peaked at number 1 (U.S. R & B). Heart On My Sleeve was released last year and sits in the second spot on the charts. Her sound is that hot and new which inspires other artists. Have you heard the song she recorded with Latto?

COCO JONES

Also, Coco Jones is hot and new. She’s so hot and new she doesn’t have an album yet. However, she has 16 singles and multiple extended plays. Come to expect a groundbreaking album from her in the future. If she seizes the opportunity she can go far in the music business. I believe she has a lot going for her because she’s an actress and can build off her brand name recognition. Bel-Air is a top TV show on  Peacock. What is more, she is exactly the kind of R&B singer the industry needs.

COCO JONES & ELLA MAI

I’m not comparing the two celebrities. They are both experts who deserve appreciation. This blog post recognizes two of my favorite R&B singers. They’re both stars who I hope shine for a long time. Let’s give them their props.

The Interesting Tale of Mandy Moore

Once upon a time there were 3 princesses: Britney, Jessica, and Mandy. They were three of a kind so to say. At their peak potential, they rivaled one another.

Mandy Moore used to dominate MTV back when Carson Daly hosted Total Request Live (TRL). She could sing with the best of them including Britney Spears. She was more famous than Jessica Simpson at one point in time.

Then, something mysterious happened. She went away- not so much in the physical sense but in the supernatural sense. The pop princess was no longer famous in 2007. Yet, last year she comes out of nowhere like Supergirl all of a sudden.

I call this phenomenon the interesting tale of Mandy Moore. The multi-talented Mandy is a very intriguing specimen and fascinating story. She has her way- coming and going as she pleases. Few celebrities can enter and renter Tinseltown after spending time in Zombieland.

That’s why everybody is interested in Mandy Moore’s projects. This Is Us left fans literally dying for Moore. Moreover, the singer has proven she’s a wonderful actress. Whatever you do, don’t underestimate Mandy Moore’s magnetism.

This pop princess knows how to entertain the masses. From the Princess Diaries to Tangled, she came a long way on her journey. Who wants to be her Prince Charming? At 32 years old, Mandy is still young and vibrant.

Future Hollywood stars should learn from this celebrity. If you want to succeed in the entertainment business, sometimes you need to take it slow. Far too many actors/singers rush their game and don’t get to enjoy the fruits of their labors.

When you’re famous, work-life balance may become nonexistent. So try to be like Mandy who is living like a fairy tale. There’s a reason this princess is making headlines right now.

Rita Ora Vs. Lana Del Rey

BY: GURU JAY

As summer halts, I reflect on an entertaining season filled with surprises. Who could have predicted all this? Thus, let’s look forward to autumn.
When the leaves fall it feels like music to me. Seasoned musicians Rita Ora and Lana Del Rey give us plenty of love and happiness. Although Rita isn’t 25 yet, she’s been active in the entertainment industry since 2007. Moreover, Lana Del Rey- formerly known as Lizzy Grant- has entertained fans for more than a decade.

Both singers bring it differently. Lana’s vocals lay back gently, while Rita exploits her hardcore throat. They’re in the spotlight because of their originality.
Do you love fast or slow songs better? Does it depend on your mood? What are your favorite songs and music videos?
You admire celebrities because they drive themselves to the brink. Jaguar received a big boost by putting Lana Del Rey out front. Remember Rita Ora is also a commercial success.


 
Currently under contact with Roc Nation, Rita is an under-appreciated asset. I’m under the impression she has a higher profile by design. Plus, Ora’s brand appeals to everyone.
Singers prefer privacy. You see concerts include Fandoms alongside stalkers. As a result, Lana is more intimate with fans than her Roc Nation contemporary.
An oracle said, “Pick your poison.” Becoming famous is a stressful process. I believe the Poison singer has figured out her purpose and is taking necessary steps.

The British born celeb is collecting English Music Royalties. Rita resembles Rihanna and M.I.A. Lana falls between Kellie Pickler and Kelly Clarkson. I like how Lana lets her lyrics roll off the tongue.
While tanning, I listen to Lana. However, at the beach house party, I choose Rita. The Young and Beautiful songstress is not restless but relaxed. Though Rita is hotter, Lana stays cool.

Why Usher Is A Superstar

BY: GURU JAY

  
For over a decade, Usher was on top. Right now he is a superstar. When you create great music nothing else matters. Usher’s greatness is unquestionable.
Without question, LinkedIn and Monster.com couldn’t have charted him a better career path. Musicians can live comfortably off of one hit wonders. That’s why Usher can take breaks. The artist has produced a dozen number 1’s.
If he’s not moving mountains, he’s making love in this club. The superstar cites Marvin Gaye as a major influence. Their styles are similar and so are their lyrics. Trading Places sounds a lot like Marvin. Do you know the words to Sexual Healingand Let’s Get It On?
Have you been to any of Usher’s concerts? Groupies obsess over him because he is personable and seductive. Usher previously stated he works out before every performance. I wonder if his physical fitness attracts honeys.

When you’re high up on everybody’s VIP list, how do you keep your ear to the ground? Although he’s a multimillionaire, Usher isn’t out of touch. I believe it’s because he realizes that he is fortunate. Plus, like Maxwell, he’s never sang a song with all his might!
How many times have his albums went platinum? Who else has won 8 Grammys?
What is more, in the noisy entertainment world Usher is mellow.
Can you picture the mononymousentertainer touring with Justin Timberlake?

Astronomy teaches you they’re a trillion stars. However, Hollywood teaches you a superstar is a rare sighting. Luckily, Usher was born into the industry. In fact, his mother managed his career for a while when he was younger.
You see the constellations must align accordingly. You must wait patiently for everything to connect. Ironically, Nice & Slow accelerated the celeb’s career. 

Usher is a superstar because he decided to shepherd the flock instead of following the herd.

Alternative Rock Audio Beats By Dre Carlos Santana Celebs Chris Martin Coldplay Dave Matthews Band DeflateGate European Bands Fandoms groupies Guru Jay Jennifer Lawrence Music Robin Thicke Singer Vevo

What Is Coldplay Without Chris Martin?

BY: GURU JAY


Can you imagine your ears without music? Have you experienced the creative sounds of Carlos Santana? Who are your favorite musicians? Do you like Chris Martin?

What is Coldplay without Chris Martin? Ever since dating Jennifer Lawrence, Martin’s stature has outgrown the band. Why do hot blondes melt over a music star? What defies logic, chemistry can explain. Don’t minimize music’s strong effect.

What if Coldplay changed the name to the Chris Martin Band like Dave Matthews Band? Perhaps, more celebrities like Martin should deflate their egos. What if Tom Brady allegedly deflated his arrogance instead of footballs?
Credit the Chris Martin’s public relations team, because he hardly gets any bad press.
Martin, the oldest of five siblings, naturally became a bandleader in 1996. Where were you in ‘96 when that happened? Did you dialup your Internet to the groundbreaking static? Do you remember, “You’ve got mail?”
How long was it before Chris became idolized? In ‘96 Google, Twitter, and Facebook weren’t in existence. Without question Bieber, Gaga, and Swift colossally benefited from the Internet when their careers launched.  

We’re living in an Information Age, where numbers matter. Although Coldplay tweets to an astounding 15.4 million followers, Chris Martin doesn’t have a verified account. Is there a disconnect? Or is the brotherhood very tight?
I believe Chris Martin’s band is the 9th best European band of all time. Plus, no music group comes close to their accomplishments in the Alternative Rock genre. 
Your ears love listening to Beats By Dre sponsored songs. Have you noticed Beats By Dre Audio equipment in almost every Vevo video? I’m sure more than half my audience has seen ColdplayVevo because you appreciate high quality and superior content.

Like Robin Thicke, Martin is lost without you. The celeb understands fans allow his journey to continue.

albums Alicia Keys Celebs Hip Hop lip-synching Mariah Carey Music Musicians My All No One pop records Singer studio vocalist voice

Mariah Carey Vs. Alicia Keys

BY: GURU JAY


Alicia Keys has the voice of an angel. Mariah Carey has the voice of a goddess. With that said, I still would rather see Keys in concert.

Carey is notorious for lip-synching. Alicia plays the piano in addition to hitting high notes for a hobby. But, in the studio it is a different story.
Mariah has made many great albums. Now, Alicia Keys can do wonders in the studio as well. I just appreciate Mariah Carey’s career.  
The My All songstress blazed the trail for Alicia and Beyoncé. She worked harder to get to the top. So, let’s recognize Carey’s contributions.
Carey is the greatest female vocalist. This doesn’t mean she can sing better than Keys. It just means that Mariah’s voice is more flexible. She can stretch her vocal chords farther.
The Girl on Fire songstress owns her songs. She’s more in control of her pitch, tone and mechanics than Mariah. However, Carey is scary when she’s at her best.
Have you ever seen a bad Alicia Key’s performance? I’ve never seen her bomb. The poetic singer is persistent and consistent. I enjoy listening to Alicia’s songs because of their brilliant lyrics. She is a superb songwriter.
That’s why there’ s no comparison. Alicia Keys usurped Mariah Carey after the ‘No One’ hit. Since then, Alicia’s been headed one direction.   
So, for the record I listen to both singers. They are tremendously talented. I choose Alicia over Mariah, because I like her body of work better.
