The track continues to showcase the devastating emotional depth that the artist possesses.
On the poignant new piano ballad ‘I Hate It When You Touch Me’, May Payne continues to uncover the sensitive and immersive nature of her thoughtful sound, exploring the impact of sexual assault in a track that feels harrowingly raw and heartbreaking throughout.
The track has a delicate nature to it throughout, with the Manchester artist performing a sort of self-therapy on the track, recorded in one take and providing her with an outlet for feelings and emotions that she has had to carry with her that have left her feeling disconnected with even herself. This mixture of heartfelt storytelling and pent up emotional release makes for a track that feels as affecting as it is alluring, and continues to speak to the poised and enormous talent that May Payne possesses.
