Helena May, the “blue-eyed funky soulstress,” is back with her latest single “Still Here,” and it’s a refreshing change of pace. Known for her energetic performances and soulful voice, May has been captivating audiences for over a decade, both as a solo artist and with Redtenbacher’s Funkestra.
“Still Here” reveals a softer side of May’s artistry, following her successful singles “Lifetime Supply” and “Puzzle Pieces.” While it may not have the immediate impact of her earlier hits, this track shines with its subtle, soulful sound. Produced by Fabian Wollner and mastered by Stuart Hawkes, “Still Here” blends drums, guitars, and keyboards into a jazz-inspired melody that nods to 70s soul while maintaining a contemporary feel.
May’s musical influences, including Joss Stone and The Brand New Heavies, are evident, but she brings her own unique flair to the table. “Still Here” explores themes of identity and social acceptance, with May’s delicate vocals extending a comforting message of individuality in a world that often demands conformity.
