Good Intentions Ego Ella May
Pickup available at Record Plant Farsley
Usually ready in 24 hours
Her work is united by her profound reverence for jazz; for Ego, it's the "root of it all,"
and a fearless commitment to emotional truth. Her genre- defying sound has
cemented her as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary music.
Guided by literature, introspection, and candid conversations with her inner circle, Ego
crafts writing that turns vulnerability into connection. She draws from artists who lay
their truth bare, the likes of Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone and Solange, channelling their
honesty and emotional depth into her own sonic world. At the same time, jazz greats
Sarah Vaughan and Hendricks & Ross anchor her enduring love for the genre, shaping
the foundation on which her sound continues to grow.
Ego's creative lens is equally shaped by the writers she loves: Chimamanda Ngozi
Adichie, Patti Smith, Chinua Achebe, Ayobami Adebayo, and Joan Didion, whose
storytelling sharpens her sense of narrative and introspective detail. Through Ego's
musical and literary influences, she crafts songs that delve into self-reflection, healing,
identity, social consciousness, love, and the complexities of modern life. Her voice,
soft yet commanding, carries an intimacy that resonates with longtime music lovers
and new listeners alike.
Her critically acclaimed debut album, Honey For Wounds, earned her widespread
recognition, including Best Jazz Act at the 2020 MOBO Awards and Best Vocalist at
the 2021 Jazz FM Awards, alongside placements across major film and television,
including Insecure, Sex Education, Dear White People, Queen Sugar, The Jackal, and
And Just Like That.
Across collaborations with Ari Lennox, Theo Croker, Kojey Radical, and more, and
through her celebrated FIELDNOTES EP series (with FIELDNOTES PT II receiving a 5-
star review from The Telegraph), Ego has continued to explore new sonic possibilities
while maintaining the emotional depth that defines her artistry.
In 2026, Ego ushers in a new chapter with the release of her highly anticipated
sophomore album, Good Intentions, arriving 20th March 2026. It's her most daring and
ambitious work to date, blending warm jazz textures, alt- soul explorations, intricate
harmonies, and lyrical storytelling. Lead singles "What We Do" and "We're Not Free"
offer a glimpse into the album's thematic richness, examining community, liberation,
vulnerability, and the complicated beauty of everyday human experience.
Ego Ella May's gift lies not only in her musicianship but also in her ability to create
music that feels timeless, music that speaks to the tender, thoughtful, and
questioning parts of listeners across all ages. Expanding her artistic universe once
again with Good Intentions, she continues her ascent as one of the most innovative
and emotionally resonant artists of her generation.
