Upcoming artist May Payne is a 20-year-old singer-songwriter based in Manchester. She grew up on a diet of Bob Dylan and Van Morrison which fed her love of intricate intelligent songwriting and the nostalgic sound of a clean, tight ensemble. These two facets are blended together in songs where sensitive melodies are underpinned by warm satisfying harmonies for a new refreshing take on the Singer-Songwriter genre. The vulnerability of her lyrical content sits within a group of extremely talented musicians who transform her music into something truly unique and vibrant. Following the release of her newest single “When You Hold Me” she projects a captivating sound that will surely intrigue your ears. Beginning with soothing instrumentation leading onto her sweet and sultry vocals she captures the song entirely. Explaining the track a bit further it speaks vulnerably of an unbalanced relationship where she craved the attention and affection of someone not equally (if at all) invested. The timelessness of these emotions is echoed in the warm live feel of the track, where May’s distinctive vocals are accompanied by a tight and talented band. The group of friends has been described as a ‘one-minded, eight-armed unit’, transforming her emotive songs into something truly unique and vibrant. To the vocals and production, this single will certainly have you vibing and even possibly singing along to the lyrics. Being just great for a drive during sunset or out for a picnic. Go stream “When You Hold Me” and be on the lookout for new music from this amazing artist.
