Tel-Aviv-based artist May Fall has been on a transformative musical journey from his progressive metal roots in projects like Rotev and Road to Evenmind to a synth-driven pop style as a solo artist. In 2016, he unveiled a his direction with the debut singles, “Blind Zone” and “Same Code,” which firmly placed May Fall on the map of exciting new artists and earned widespread acclaim from numerous radio stations and TV channels around the world.
Today, May Fall’s musical output sits at the crossroads of synth pop, alternative pop, nufunk and retrowave. His unique sound is built on punchy beats, funky bass lines, shimmering synths and ethereal vocal harmonies. It’s an original recipe that introduces a fresh musical depth, merging catchy songwriting with an elusive, yet compelling, sonic identity.
After the success of his fusion trio, The May Fall Crew’s debut album Overload in 2023, May Fall returned to announce the upcoming EP Submerge and released the lead single, “Determinist.” Now he brings us the second release from the project with the new single titled “Sleep.”
With his new single, May Fall dives into the world of sleep, exploring its profound mystery and significance in our lives. He views sleep not just as a necessity but as a journey into the infinite void, a temporary escape offering unearthly excitement and reflection. As the smooth texture of a synth gently floats as bright leads dance above, the song slips into a grooving synth pop sound with the pulse of a bass line and snapping beat.
May Fall’s mellow vocal leads lay down soft melodies over the disco-inflected arrangement before bursting into the chorus with airy falsetto lines, staccato synth stabs and catchy vocal leads, resulting in a charming pop-focused sound. Full of playful instrumentation that crafts a colourful backing propelled by the danceable rhythm of the beat, May Fall delivers an infectious sound that’s at once energising and dreamy to reflect the whimsical and intriguing theme of sleep.
The music video for “Sleep,” directed by Thanos Kallianiotis and Angelo Kalfopulos, pairs the listening experience with cinematic visuals. Filmed in the ancient Greek city of Thessaloniki, the video amplifies the dreamy themes of the song while capturing May Fall in the shadowy rooms of a centuries-old house, creating dream-drenched imagery that perfectly complements the musical and thematic atmosphere.
