‘When Will We Get An Album’: Tracee Ellis Ross Shocks Fans with Her Vocals

Posted byBy Danielle Jones | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Almost anytime Tracee Ellis Ross posts a photo on Instagram she gets comments about her resemblance to her famed mother Diana Ross. But looks isn’t the only thing that Tracee is getting from her mama.

Tracee was recently a part of former first lady Michelle Obama’s television series for children called “Waffles + Mochi.” The “Girlfriends” star had the opportunity to be on the series and sing “Freezie Day” with the puppets. According to the clip, “Freezie Day” is considered a holiday tradition on the show where they cook a feast and “eat real late.”

Tracee, who is the main vocalist on the song, got to show off her vocals, which is not something her fans get to see often. Many of them know her for her on-screen roles not for her singing. But it’s no surprise that she’s inherited those gifts since her mom, who is a Grammy award winner, also sings and acts as well.

Under her Instagram post, Tracee thanked Obama for having her as part of the special. She said, “It’s Freezie Day on @wafflesandmochiofficial! Thank you @michelleobama for inviting me to be a part of the Waffles + Mochi Holiday Feast and sing such a cute song! Streaming now on @netflix, and you can stream Freezie Day tomorrow 11/24 on all music platforms!”

In the comments section, her fans were so excited to hear her sing that they began asking how they could hear more of it. One person said, “WHEN WILL WE GET ALBUM FROM TRACEE ELLIS ROSS ?” Someone else added, “I love when you sing, your acting us amazing as well, but your singing is easy listening.” Another wrote, “TRACEE SINGING WE LOVE IT.”

Recently Tracee played the character of Grace Davis in the movie “The High Note.” Davis was a singer who was looking to do more in her career other than singing the same songs she did in her youth, but her team was not interested in that. In this role, Tracee also does some singing and has songs from the film that are now streaming on Apple Music.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
