Sarah May has one of the most striking voices of any female artist around today. Based in London, England, she’s a seasoned singer/songwriter and music producer who’s been writing and recording songs since she was a teen. With a smooth, captivating vocal style, Sarah in her own words “musically vents the woes of being a female in the modern world.” Her poetic lyrics are honest and pure, and never overly symbolic or impenetrable, which makes her songs highly relatable. And when she delivers those lyrics with lovely music and sublime vocals, listening to her songs is an incredibly pleasurable experience.

Since the release of her gorgeous single “Nothing to You” in December 2018, Sarah’s been on a roll, dropping a new single every month or so. I featured that song as well as her bold follow-up single “Because I Turned You Down” on this blog (you can check out those reviews by clicking on the “Related” links at the bottom of this page). She subsequently released the singles “Oops” and “Fly”, and now returns with her fifth single “The Journey“, a bittersweet song about meeting someone and feeling an instant attraction and connection with them, but life circumstances will likely prevent the formation of a romantic relationship. I know from personal experience the dual emotions of euphoria and heartache that occur under these situations.

The song, which was written and produced by Sarah and mixed and mastered by James Preston, is beautiful, with glittery atmospheric synths, subtle bass and soft percussion. The tinkling keys, xylophone, and mesmerizing organ synths are exquisite, creating a dreamy soundscape for Sarah’s enchanting ethereal vocals. It’s her fifth consecutive winning single, keeping her perfect score in delivering stellar tunes fully intact. Well done, Sarah!

Hey you come over here with those sad eyes
Let me get to know you
Tell me what’s on your mind
And I’ll tell you too

And maybe we’re perfect for each other

Time stops when you’re in the room
And its just me and you
I’ve never felt my soul so understood
You get me and I get you

And maybe we’re perfect for each other

Meeting you was so magical
I don’t understand how something so beautiful
Could be so painful
Can we find our way home
I don’t know

In you I found what I didn’t know
I was looking for
But the journey carries on I’ve got to go
And you’re still unsure

But maybe we were perfect for each other

Meeting you was so magical
I don’t understand
How something so beautiful
Could be so painful
Can we find our way home
I don’t know
