I enjoyed this! 

Myah Ariel came to win with No Ordinary Love. It’s giving Mariah Carey and Derek Jeter. It’s giving swoon and R&B. It’s giving ROMANCE. No Ordinary Love is out today and y’all better pick it up. 

Ella Simone is the darling of the pop/R&B world, living through a nasty divorce in the public eye with a predatory studio exec. Miles Westbrook is the baseball player who loves her, reminds her she’s strong, and supports her along the way. Set to a background of Nina Simone, Mariah Carey, and Sade, No Ordinary Love will remind you that love is real, it’s sexy, it’s beautiful, and it’s soulful.
