Ella Mai 2023 Tour Announcement – Heart On My Sleeve Tour Schedule
Ella Mai is continuing the “Heart On My Sleeve Tour” through spring 2023! Will you be there to see the rising R&B singer? Her next show is on April 24th in Nashville, TN, with stops in New Orleans, LA, Los Angeles, CA, Chicago, IL, and more before wrapping up on June 1st in Toronto, ON.
The 28-year-old singer has been documenting these Ella Mai concerts since they began last month. And it’s clear that she’s having the time of her life! She even released a week one video, which shows her performing her greatest hits in all types of outfits. We’re talking sparkly dresses, divine jumpsuits, colorful platform shoes, and more eye-catching onstage ensembles! From her impeccable fashion sense and soulful voice to her superb appreciation for her fans, there’s a lot to love about Ella Mai. And you’ll have a front-row seat to all of it (maybe even literally!) with tickets to the Heart On My Sleeve Tour.
This trek is named for Mai’s sophomore album, which was released in May 2022 to excellent reviews. Featuring singles like “Not Another Love Song,” “How,” “DFMU,” and “Leave You Alone,” it helped raise her profile while giving fans an inside look into her innermost personal thoughts. Basically, every song on Heart On My Sleeve lives up to the name of the album! It peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard 200 and at No. 9 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Of course, it’s the album as a whole, rather than the accolades, that makes Mai the most proud.
“I was so heavily invested and involved with the entire process. I knew what I wanted to say and what I wanted to sound like,” Mai told Grammy.com in an exclusive interview. “Every song, every session, it did kind of feel like a therapy session for me. I was wearing my heart on my sleeve in the studio, and just really explaining how I was feeling at the time. I think the difficulty comes from wondering, is this too vulnerable? But actually, it was everything that was in my heart.”
“I think through creating this album, I realized how resilient I am, even if I’m in a situation that I haven’t really experienced before,” she continued. “I love to storytell, but I do understand sometimes that it doesn’t always need to be there. I think it’s incredibly freeing.” Fans around the world have emphasized her tales of love, loss, identity, and everything in between, and it’s all kinds of beautiful. Don’t get us wrong; we’re still in love with her 2018 self-titled debut and three EPs. However, it’s clear that her sophomore album is a new beginning for Ella Mai. And she can’t wait to have you along for the ride.
