Song of the Day # 3,422 May Rio

 


There are so many records around like this at the moment. The Billie Eilish and Arlo Parks ones. The young women sitting in their bedrooms in America and The UK. Thinking about the state of the world and trying to find exactly where they fit within it..

Here's May Rio with her second album French Bath. Her first on vinyl. It's a statement. She's from New York, New York, lucky girl. May has the floating, womb-like voice that seems so particularly common in records like this. It sounds like she's on the process of being born.

The first thing that strikes me is how strong the songs are. This is a good record which is worth getting to know better. Most notably I thought of John and Yoko and their strange, floaty sound The record is short. Give it a listen.
