Song of the Day: Ego Ella May - Undone

London's neo-soul singer and songwriter Ego Ella May releases a new song Undone, from her forthcoming EP Fieldnotes Part III.

Undone is the first single from Fieldnotes Part III and is inspired by a book the artist read last year called I May Be Wrong by Bjørn Natthiko Lindeblad- a Swedish business executive who swapped his career out to become a Buddhist monk in Thailand for 17 years. It's such a beautifully written book & it stuck with me for so long afterwards that I decided to write a song about it. It's about letting go of control, ditching the facade that so many of us find ourselves latching on to, the question of what would happen if we simply left it all behind & started again.. it's possible! when I read that book it opened up so many possibilities & helped me to remember that I can start again whenever I choose! This song marks a new beginning for me, & simultaneously the closure of Fieldnotes in a way, as I wrap up this chapter, Ego Elle May said.

Her impressive debut LP Honey For Wounds, a soul-tingling blend of Jazz, R&B and Neo Soul vocal musicality. Incredibly honest self-penned, personal and observational lyrics are laced with tales of self-healing, protest, love and loss, global issues and more. This is all set to a sonic backdrop crafted with some of the most exciting creatives including Alfa Mist, Theo Croker, Eun, Melo-Zed, Oscar Jerome, Joe Armon-Jones (Ezra Collective), Wu-Lu, Eddie Hick (Sons of Kemet), Maralisa (Space Captain), Tom Excell, Andrew Ashong and more.

This release led to her taking home the Best Jazz Act award at the 2020 MOBO Awards, and also made an impressive debut on COLORS TV, performing In The Morning and Girls Don’t Always Sing About Boys. Following the release of the deluxe release of her debut album in June 2021, a win at the 2021 JAZZ FM Awards (Best Vocalist), several features + writing credits for the likes of Ari Lennox, Theo Croker, Kojey Radical and many more as well as a sold-out headline UK tour, Ego also released 2 parts of her critically acclaimed EP series - Fieldnotes. Now it's time for Fieldnotes Part III.
