TIME TO MEET OUR NEXT GUEST.

SHE'S AN INCREDIBLE GRAMMY-WINNING R&B

SINGER-SONGWRITER YOU KNOW FROM HER SMASH-HIT, "BOO'D UP."

SHE'S JUST RELEASED A NEW SINGLE, AND WE'RE SO HAPPY SHE'S

HERE TODAY.

THE MAGNIFICENT ELLA MAI!

>> HI.

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> James: ELLA, I'M SO HAPPY

THAT YOU'RE ON THE SHOW.

I SO WISH YOU WERE HERE IN PERSON.

I'M SUCH A FAN, WHENEVER I'VE SEEN YOU PERFORM LIVE.

BEING FROM THE U.K., I'VE KNOWN ABOUT YOU FOR SUCH A LONG TIME.

YOU'RE LIVING HERE IN LOS ANGELES NOW, YOU HAVE BEEN

HERE FOR A FEW YEARS.

DO YOU EVER GET HOME SICK?

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU MISS FROM BACK HOME?

>> IF THERE'S ONE THING I WILL SAY IT'S BEEF ON TOAST, WHICH IS

NOT THE SAME OVER HERE.

>> James: I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

>> AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS LIKE --

>> James: IT'S NOT EVER A SNACK YOU WOULD NORMALLY EAT IN

THE SUMMER.

>> YES.

>> James: AND IT'S ALWAYS THE SUMMER HERE.

I THINK IT'S THE EXTERIOR.

I DON'T THINK IT'S THE PHYSICAL BEANS OR THE PHYSICAL TOAST.

>> IT MIGHT BE.

THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

>> James: I THINK IT'S WEIRD TO EAT IT AND LOOK OUT YOUR

WINDOW AND SEE A PALM TREE.

( LAUGHTER ) ELLA YOU JUST DROPPED YOUR NEW

SINGLE "NOT ANOTHER LOVE SONG," AND HOW DOES IT FEEL RELEASING

NEW MUSIC?

AND ARE YOU FEELING PRESSURE RECORDING YOUR FOLLOW-UP ALBUM,

GIVEN HOW BRILLIANTLY THE FIRST ONE WAS RECEIVED?

>> YEAH, NO, I'M SUPER EXCITED TO BE BACK ON THE SCENE.

I DIDN'T TAKE A BREAK.

IT SEEMED LIKE I TOOK A BREAK, BUT THEN I TOURED FOR THE WHOLE

OF LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR'S BEEN WEIRD, AND I HAVE BEEN IN

THE STUDIO TRYING TO WORK AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE.

I'M REALLY EXCITED TO BE BACK.

THERE'S DEFINITELY A LITTLE PRESSURE, AND THAT JUST COMES

WITH WHAT WE DO IN ANY FIELD TO TRY TO FOLLOW UP.

I DON'T LET IT GET TO ME TOO MUCH.

I JUST GO IN THE STUDIO AND MAKE MUSIC I LOVE TO MAKE AND

EXPERIMENTING AND WORK WITH PEOPLE I LOVE TO WORK WITH.

>> James: THAT'S FANTASTIC.

I'M SUCH A FAN OF YOURS.

WE'RE LOVING THIS NEW SONG SO MUCH.

WE'RE SO HAPPY YOU'RE PERFORMING AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO

PERFORM IN THE STUDIO WHEN WE HAVE A CROWD.

RIGHT NOW HERE PERFORMING HER LATEST

PERFORMING HER LATEST SINGLE, "NOT ANOTHER LOVE SONG," PLEASE

WELCOME THE BRILLIANT ELLA MAI!
