โAloneโ by May sneaks up on you with its gentle yet commanding, and thoroughly intimate and affectionate loveliness. From the moment the warm guitar melodies hit, backed by soft, grounding piano notes, you feel like youโve stepped into a safe space where love and sincerity flow freely. May, hailing from Vancouver Island, isnโt just another singerโsheโs an artist who wears her heart on her sleeve, and Alone is proof of that.
This song is about cherishing the people who truly love you for who you are and for being there with them through struggling times so neither party ever feels alone. Mayโs musical influencesโranging from Selena Quintanilla Perez to Bon Joviโshine through subtly, blending pop, heartfelt lyricism, and a touch of classic soul. Her journey hasnโt been easy, battling rare health issues from a young age, but her resilience and love for music radiate through this song.
The beat keeps you swaying, pulling you into its rhythm, while occasional string swells rise like distant waves, adding depth to the emotion-packed track. And Mayโs voice? Itโs soft, high, and filled with passion, carrying each lyric with a tenderness that makes you believe every word she sings. You can hear her love for music in every note, and thatโs what makes Alone so captivatingโitโs not just a song, itโs a feeling. And itโs innocent and innocuous.
What makes this release even more special is its raw, homegrown nature. Recorded in Mayโs own home studio, it carries that sense of personal touch and authenticity that big-label productions sometimes lack. Sheโs here to spread love and joy, and Alone does just that.
