In the effervescent single “Lifetime Supply” from Helena May, listeners are treated to a sonic journey that feels both refreshingly novel and comfortingly familiar. This trackᅳa captivating forerunner to her much-anticipated album “Puzzle Pieces”ᅳweaves an intricate tapestry of pop sensibilities with the profound grooves of funk and soul, creating an infectious soundscape that urges you onto your feet.
May’s vocal prowess is nothing short of remarkable, commanding attention with every note. Her voice serves as the perfect vessel for delivering poignant themes of self-love and individuality, set against the backdrop of an upbeat tune that belies the depth of its lyrical messages. It’s this unflinching authenticity interlaced with vibrant melodies that positions “Lifetime Supply” not just as a song but as an anthem for anyone navigating the path towards self-recognition in a world often too focused on external perceptions.
The influence of producer Fabian Wollner is palpable throughoutᅳhis deftness in blending genres brings forth a modern twist to classic sounds, characterized by funky bass lines from Michael Reitinger and electrifying guitar riffs courtesy of Emanuele Fusaro. Josef Hinterhölzl’s drums provide a heartbeat to this vivacious number while David Dolezel’s keys are like glimmers of sunlight through cloudsᅳbrightening and uplifting at precisely the right moments.
What further distinguishes “Lifetime Supply” is its music video; directed by Wollner himself, it offers humor as a lens through which we might examine our quest for validation. Featuring May’s live band alongside spirited actors going about exaggerated routines aimed at boosting their esteem mirrors how we all sometimes misstep in recognizing our inherent worth.
Comparing Helena May to giants who have tread similar paths reveals her unique offering: she channels echoes reminiscent perhaps of Chaka Khan’s rhythmical spirit or Gloria Gaynor’s anthemic empowerment yet places it firmly within today’s musical lexicon combining relatability with timeless appeal.
As part one signals towards what could be discovered in “Puzzle Pieces,” fans new and old can find solaceᅳand maybe even themselvesᅳin these beats infused with sincerity and joyous energy equipped by May & Co.’s collaboration.
Surely if “Lifetime Supply” tells us anything about what ‘s forthcoming then brace yourselves: we’re not merely waiting on an album but anticipating revelations wrapped in rhythms designed not only for listening joy but heartful introspection!
