The artist continues to shine as she releases more thoughtful and intimate singles.
May Payne is an artist that has captured our hearts and minds with the lush softness and warmth of her indie pop sound, melding infectious melodies with thoughtful narratives to craft a sound that feels as poignant and immersive as it does accessible, and singling her out as one of the UK’s most exciting emerging talents.
The latest single from the artist is ‘Between The Lines’, a heartbreaking ballad that the artist wrote at just 17 when she was longing for somebody in a relationship with someone else. The kind of teenage melodrama that comes with this kind of time in your life underpins a track that is packed full of cute sonic intricacies, with the track growing into something of a retrospective anthem in a modern lens, with the artist taking on a more frustrated and emphatic stance looking back on a situation where she was mistreated. The thoughtful nuance and layers to this track make for a super interesting listening experience, with the artist’s sound feeling as enamouring and instantly engaging as ever as she continues to show off the sweet appeal of her sound.
“I’m a very desperate person and so many people took advantage of that when I was younger.” May says of the track. “My heart breaks for the girl who wrote this song. It’s a reminder that I deserve better than uncommitted, unspoken half-love.”
