Australian singer-songwriter MAY-A has announced her new EP, ANALYSIS PARALYSIS, out September 1st. The announcement arrives alongside her latest pop-rock track “LOLA,” which tells the story of two people becoming strangers. Following recent singles, “Your Funeral” and “Sweat You Out My System,” “LOLA is a bittersweet, grungy and somber track, carried by dreamy guitar and emotional lyrics. Listen to it now below.
“LOLA feels more nonchalant and raw (production wise) compared to the other songs on the EP,” shares MAY-A. “It’s written about that weird kind of feeling when you can be so pure and honest with somebody when you’re alone, but they feel like a different person in public. A strange type of self-contained isolated relationship. ‘Lola’ is giving up on trying to get through to somebody who doesn’t seem like they want to be with you at all”
The ongoing series of new releases follows an incredibly successful 2022 for MAY-A, which included her ARIA Award-nominated collaboration with Australian electronic superstar Flume, “Say Nothing (Feat. MAY-A).” Nominated for Rolling Stone Australia’s “Best New Artist” award and hailed by Billboard as “a master class in indie pop,” MAY-A made her extraordinary debut with 2021’s acclaimed Don’t Kiss Ur Friends. The EP – which received a prestigious ARIA Award nomination for “Breakthrough Artist – Release” in MAY-A’s home country of Australia – includes such inventive and self-assured tracks as “Swing Of Things,” “Time I Love To Waste,” “Green,” and “Central Station.”
