Eloise Fabbri is back with her second single, "Ego," off the soon-to-be-released "Clean Cut Lioness" EP, which is every bit as bold and genre-defying as fans will have come to expect from her. Nestled within the sweet spot between modern R&B, neo-soul, and jazz fusion, "Ego" is a slick and punchy groove that packs both audio and lyrical depth. "Ego" is about humility and perspective, as well as the gritty details behind the glories of success.
Fabbri debunks the myth of "having it all" and instead frames it as the product of hard work and self-awareness. And at a time when swagger tends to drown out openness, she's flipping the script, showing us that staying humble is more potent than we would ever imagine. "Ego" demands attention with its bass-driven rhythm, an anchor that pulses and swaggers throughout the track. Fabbri strings in jazzy details, weaving in a quirky trombone that brings the song its own flair for fun. Her signature vocal runs rise above and around the instrumentation, evading the edges of honed, polished control and unherded improvisation. The spoken word parts elevate the intimacy even further, with the sensation of Fabbri whispering the words into your own ear, and firm the track into genuine territory.
And just when you think you've pieced together the song's path, the outro brings a tasty switch-up. It's surprising, it's timely, and above all, it's 100% Eloise and her way of telling us that she will never stick to a box. The kind of fearless experiment she brings makes her stand out in the crowded R&B landscape of today. As the second single off her October 2025 EP, "Clean Cut Lioness," "Ego" not only puts Fabbri's genre-spanning craft on display but also solidifies her as a genre-bender unafraid to blend grooves with messages that stick. It's as much a mood for late-night drives as it is a mantra for introspection. In "Ego," Eloise Fabbri demonstrates that humility and confidence can coexist and, when placed on the right bassline, can glide in seamless harmony.
