Diggin’ This: Ego Ella May – “Undone”

 

I first got switched on to the sound of London’s Ego Ella May back in 2015 when I heard “How Far” on her Zero EP.

Her latest track, “Undone,” is a modern R&B-soul meditation that ponders the big questions.

 

 

Says Ego Ella May, “(the track)… is inspired by a book I read last year called I May Be Wrong by Bjørn Natthiko Lindeblad, a Swedish business executive who swapped his career out to become a Buddhist monk in Thailand for 17 years.

 

It’s such a beautifully written book and it stuck with me for so long afterwards that I decided to write a song about it.

 

It’s about letting go of control, ditching the facade that so many of us find ourselves latching on to, the question of what would happen if we simply left it all behind & started again… it’s possible!

 

When I read that book it opened up so many possibilities & helped me to remember that I can start again whenever I choose!
