AceShowbiz - There are a lot of new talented stars releasing good songs this year, but only a few can actually catch people's attention. Among them who are shining the brightest this year is Ella Mai.
The 24-year-old got her big break after releasing her debut commercial song "Boo'd Up" in February of this year. The song quickly rose in popularity on social media as well as in nightclubs, leading to it ruling music charts for a few weeks. Rolling Stone even dubbed it "one of the biggest singles by a breakout female R&B singer in the past ten years."
In addition to that, the song earned her two Grammy nominations as it's nominated for Best R&B Song and Song of the Year at the upcoming 61st Grammy Awards. She also brought home three awards at the 2018 Soul Train Music Awards, Best Song of the Year and The Ashford & Simpsons Songwriter's Award for "Boo'd Up" as well as Best R&B/Soul Female Artist.
Next year, numerous musicians are expected to follow in the British songstress' footsteps and make their big break. As 2018 is coming to a close, here are several musicians that you should be keeping your eyes on next year.
