The British-Nigerian singer steps into her power with soul, swagger, and honest vibes that hit right in your feelings

Ego Ella May is making 2026 her year with the announcement of her highly anticipated sophomore album Good Intentions, officially set to arrive on March 20, 2026. Fans are already buzzing because this project is shaping up to showcase her growth as a songwriter and performer, blending laid-back grooves with thoughtful lyricism that collects feelings like gems.

The album rollout kicked off with the release of the single “What You Waiting For,” a smooth yet urgent call to live boldly and now, not later. May has said the song is one of her favorites to perform live and that it captures the essence of the whole album: presence, confidence, and the raw joy of claiming your moment.

Good Intentions is more than a title. It signals a deeper creative chapter for May, who produced the album with input from respected collaborators like Alfa Mist, TAVE, Beat Butcha, Melo Zed, and LVTHER. These names bring rich sonic textures that sit perfectly under her smoky voice and introspective writing.

What makes Ego Ella May so compelling is her ability to balance mellow soul with thoughtful truths. Her music feels like the soundtrack to late night walks, deep talks with friends, and those moments when you catch yourself reflecting on who you are becoming. That emotional honesty is what sets artists apart in R&B today, especially for a generation that values real over perfect.

Expect Good Intentions to be the kind of album people lean into, whether they are vibing alone, in love, or questioning everything at 2 a.m. May’s voice isn’t just soothing; it’s grounded in self-aware storytelling that resonates with anyone who knows the weight of good intentions and the beauty of evolution.

In a year packed with exciting R&B releases Good Intentions could quickly become a defining moment in May’s career and a core mood of 2026.
