Hot on the heels of her critically acclaimed EP ‘FIELDNOTES’, award-winning singer-songwriter and musician Ego Ella May shares her beautiful new single ‘for the both of us’. Backed by a 42-piece orchestra and televised by BBC Four, Ego Ella May premiered the track at EFG London Jazz Festival at London’s Royal Festival Hall. The music video was directed by Dan Aremu.

Penned and produced by Ego herself, with additional production by Shivum Sharma, Ego explains; “’for the both of us’ is a song about what happens after a romantic relationship ends. The dreams you held together, the plans you made… what do you do with it all? It's sad because not only does the relationship die, but so does your future life with that person. When I wrote it I'd just been broken up with, and was thinking about all the things I would miss and all the things we wouldn't get to do anymore. I started off writing this on guitar and then worked with Shivum Sharma to add the strings and it turned into something really beautiful that I'm so proud of. I don't usually like to use the whole 'turn your heartbreak into something positive' but I'm glad I got a good song out of it!”.

Ego Ella May has been racking up an impressive collection of accolades recently. Winning Vocalist of the Year at the Jazz FM Awards and a nomination for the Urban Music Awards (Best Jazz Act), following her taking home the Best Jazz Act award at the 2020 MOBO Awards, and her impressive debut on COLORS, performing “In The Morning” and “Girls Don’t Always Sing About Boys”).
