Australian pop/soul singer-songwriter MAY released her new single “Sunday Night”, the first of several stand alone singles set to make their US debut in 2015. With orchestral blends of contemporary soul and pop, MAY pairs hauntingly beautiful melodies with evocative vocals to create a distinctive and powerful sound well beyond her years. “Sunday Night”, written by MAY, was inspired by a fleeting rendezvous that ignited a vivid sense of passion and liberation. Some of the musicians featured on the track have performed with notable artists such as Sting, Lana Del Rey, and Sam Smith. Hilly Dilly praises the track raving, “It’s only a matter of time before MAY appears in all places, and truthfully…she could blow overnight with tracks like Sunday Night.” May is a Kings artist to watch.
