R&B songbird Ella Mai is wasting no time firing up the promotional machine for her long-awaited sophomore album, ‘Heart On My Sleeve.’

Because, just days after announcing the LP (which is due May 6 via Interscope), Mai has hatched the project’s official tracklist.

Preceded by lead single ‘DMFU,’ the set follows the Brit-bred singer’s self-titled debut – which dropped in 2018 and houses worldwide hit ‘Boo’d Up.’

Speaking on the album, the 27-year-old told fans:

“I can’t wait for you to take this journey with me. You [will] hear something else that is very dear to my heart”

Head below to see which songs populate Mai’s latest body of work…
