Ego Ella May

There’s something to be said about music that truly feels alive. Music that breathes, music that pulses with life, music that is almost conscious of itself, pondering our world in an intimately human manner. Ego Ella May’s music is exactly this; a living, breathing, organism. Her stunningly velvety voice, combined with pulsating beats, complex melodies, and a dreamy, jazzy atmosphere give each track this undeniable “life-ness”. Combined with incredibly poignant and personal lyrics, May’s music is a message meant for the most human moments.

This week we’re featuring the track “YoYo” from her 2021 EP FIELDNOTES. A powerful, crisp, fresh, and wholly authentic track, “YoYo” is still an eminently relatable song about the stark duality of modern life during quarantine and lockdown. While we all depended on technology and modern comforts to calibrate normalcy, we all have this innate desire to trade our phones in for landlines and go live a simpler, freer life. A bittersweet track, May’s complex, deeply jazz influenced melody dances across the song and finds its way deep into your being.
