MAY delivers a burst of heart-wrenching, cinematic melancholy on "Baby Save Me Tonight"

Have your tissues at the ready, because this new cut from MAY is a guaranteed tear-jerker. "Baby Save Me Tonight" is one an exposing track that revels in its emotional honesty, where the New York-based artist lets all of her feelings shine right through every word of the song.

The pain cuts through every note of her smokey vocal delivery, cracking at the seams and soaring with a timeless, era-defying quality. By taking the husky, melodic simplicity of Cat Power, the poeticism of Leonard Cohen and the shimmering cinematic quality of Lana Del Rey, MAY arrives at something that aims straight for the heartstrings and tugs at every opportunity.

Speaking on the track, MAY says "I began to write 'Baby Save Me Tonight' in L.A. as a chorus to another song and Dave Hamelin, who I ended up co-writing it with, sent it back to me and said "no, this IS the song...". Months later when I was in Montreal with him we sat down to finish it and it just poured out... I have so many more verses the song could have gone on forever... We drank whiskey, we laughed, we cried... We talked about our love for Leonard Cohen, who just so happened to used to live down the street from where we were writing... Everything about the making of this song is filled with happy memories."

"Baby Save Me Tonight" is a truly special song that is acts equally as a comforting companion for those times that are full of pain, but also as an extraordinary example of what MAY is capable of as an artist.
