‘So Far’ is the debut album from songwriter and vocalist Ego Ella May following her signing to Tru Thoughts last year. Hailing from South London, she has an all-encompassing love of music, which she channels into her own neo-soul and contemporary jazz compositions; “music is freeing, healing and all things good and I’m here for it”. Her incandescent sound has gained support from the likes of Gilles Peterson (BBC 6Music) – who included Ego in his ‘School of 2019’ radio show, Mary Anne Hobbs (BBC 6Music), Jamz Supernova (BBC 1Xtra), Bradley Zero, Chris P Cuts and across Worldwide FM; alongside press accolades from FACT, The New York Times, DAZED, Noisey and Clash.
