Ego Ella May - 09/05/26
Local gemAbout this event
Drawing from an expansive palette of R&B, neo soul, contemporary jazz, and poetic songwriting, British-Nigerian award-winning singer-songwriter and musician Ego Ella May is creating music that resonates deeply across generations and cultures. 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. 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. 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. *By purchasing a ticket to this event you are agreeing to adhere to Islington Assembly Hall's terms and conditions: https://islingtonassemblyhall.co.uk/customer-terms-conditions-2022/* *All tickets to shows at Islington Assembly Hall are subject to a Venue Levy of £1.50 + VAT.
