The talented artist continues to blur the fine lines between the worlds of Soul, Jazz and contemporary R&B into her compositions, the deeply personal five-track EP zooms in on Ego’s experiences with love and relationships.

From the first note Ego Ella May sings she holds us tenderly, in what can only be best described as smoothing and heartfelt.
