London-based singer-songwriter and producer May Roze first performed on stage at the age of three years old. In her more recent work, she draws influence from the likes of Kate Bush, Sade, Björk and Enya and strives for creativity and innovation in her work, true to her Aquarius star sign.
Originally growing up in Switzerland, she spent her early years performing in musicals before developing her own sound and artistic identity. This journey has seen her gig all over her home country and work on her vocal capabilities with international coaches. Branching out from Switzerland, she’s worked on multiple recordings at Metropolis studios in London, Electric Lady in New York and studios in Paris.
May moved to London six years ago and started focusing on writing her own music as a solo artist. The first fruits of this new endeavour came with 2018’s single “Again”, reaching number 23 in the Commercial Pop UK Charts and number 1 in the Kings of Spins. Her other releases have been met with adoration from fans and tastmakers alike, seeing her secure multiple features and radio spins.
Now she brings us her latest single, “When I See Your Face”, the lead single lifted from her debut EP. The new track is an experimental Pop song about trying to escape your feelings and let go of a situation that hunts you. Her sultry vocal delivery winds over a laidback snapping beat as subtle synths wub and pulse throughout. With “When I See Your Face” May Roze conveys a smoky and atmospheric alternative pop piece that’s both an intriguing and engaging listening experience.
Commenting on the new single, she offers, “It reflects the toxicity of the obsession that can come with certain relationships. When you know you shouldn’t but you just can’t do any different.”
Adding, “When I first heard the production of the song, it wasn’t supposed to be for me but I instantly fell in love with it and with the space I had to play with my voice. I started singing melodies and the song became mine.
I think anyone can relate to the song and that it will touch people. Especially the ones who really hear music.”
