Ego Ella May returns with Wu-Lu-produced track, "What We Do"
Award-winning British-Nigerian artist Ego Ella May has released "What We Do", co-produced with South London vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and producer Wu-Lu.
Speaking about the new single, Ego Ella May explains: "This song came about when I first intentionally started making this album. I was away with my band at Real World Studios in Bath; such a lovely space to write and commune with my team, but I was desperately missing my partner! So I wrote about how excited I was to be reunited with him! It’s such a groovy, fun song and I don’t usually get the chance to write those, so I wanted the subject matter to be light and reflect the feel of the music.
I made this song with Wu-Lu, who also sings a little at the end of the track (a blessing!), and for those who are familiar with Wu-Lu’s work, you’ll know this is so distinctively him and I love it even more so for that reason, and for him opening me up to make such a banger like this! I didn’t think I was even capable of it! It’s got this carefree, fun, riding-with-the-top-down type energy, and I love it so much!”
"What We Do", is the first single to be taken from Ego Ella May's forthcoming second album, the follow-up to her critically acclaimed 2020 debut, Honey For Wounds.
To mark five years since its release, Ego Ella May recently unveiled a very limited anniversary edition of the LP. Honey For Wounds – 5 Year Anniversary Edition is available to buy via Bandcamp.
"What We Do" is out now.
