May Payne – The News

May Payne has been on our radar since as early as 2022 and still continues to impress with her work.

This emerging talent returns today with a new single called ‘The News’. With its sincere vocals and gorgeous blend of indie, folk and rock, this track is heavy on the emotion. It was inspired by the rawness that comes from heartbreak, and the intense feelings take over our thoughts. Payne explains:

“When we broke up after two years, my ex said that they would love me forever, that they would be incapable of dating anyone unless it was me again. A few weeks after that, I found out that they were already in a relationship with someone else. I remember immediately after seeing it thinking that I could either go into a complete tailspin or try to write about it, and this song came out in one go as soon as I sat down.”

Payne’s work has recently picked up praise from outlets as noted as BBC Radio 6 and DIY Magazine.

New Music: May Payne

Emerging from the UK comes 20-year old singer and songwriter May Payne.

Already garnering a fanbase of over 35k followers across social media, this rising starlet is winning hearts all across the country with her charming take on indie-pop.

New single ‘Lazy Sunday’ was inspired by the infatuations that we can go through when we first meet someone – even to the point where we temporarily forgive the incompatibilities.

“I get myself entangled in a lot unhealthy and mis-matched situation-ships and more often than not it all comes down to that feeling when it’s a Sunday, you’re hiding away in someone’s room, and you’re both happy to pretend that things really could work out between you – or ignore the fact that they won’t.”
