"and the feeling of forgetting"
Hear Me Out feels like a song that Golda May was destined to make since she was five years old and taught herself how to sing opera. Almost immediately you feel like velvet red curtains are parting and you are stepping into something artful, a foreign place and maybe not even a place that is earthbound at all. The angelic voices upfront and from a vast place, the drone of what feels like Church organs but the this Church is outside, part of nature, plucking strings... all of it provides a framework for May's incredibly intimate performance. There is a sense that she is embracing you and singing into your ear. There is also a sense that she is the music and the music is her. Amazing.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:
The awe-inspiring Golda May is nothing shy of incredible. This newcomer turned heads in 2019 with her buzzing single "Wish I Was Someone Else," which continues to land itself on top of HypeMachine's Popular Charts. After garnering the attention of tastemakers, label heads, fans and more, the release of Golda's following tracks "Under" and "Dear Los Angeles" only further secured her spot as a powerful artist to watch in 2020.
Golda returns with her new single "Hear Me Out," due out next week. The now L.A.-based creator grew up in both Chicago and San Diego to Ukrainian parents who only spoke Russian in the house. At the ripe age of 5 years old, Golda May discovered her love for music when she taught herself how to sing opera.
Golda brings those skills to life in new single "Hear Me Out," which puts a modern twist on operatic style singing, combining it with cinematic and alternative production elements. There's an eerie and celestial quality to this powerhouse single which features staggering harmonies, soaring crescendos, and a soundscape that reaches your very core. Emotion is packed into every aspect of this song and it is tangible.
She shares, "Sometimes you want to be heard and understood but you don't have the words yet to communicate your thoughts properly, so you're speaking in a kind of jumbled long winded sentence with the occasional pause and worry that you're saying it all wrong. Despite the fact that you're not speaking poetically or eloquently, it's important that you're heard and you need to be heard. That's the feeling I tried to capture in 'Hear Me Out.' I feel this way again now, struggling to communicate my frustrations of our current government administration and its constant failure to lead effectively and thoughtfully, finding myself once again lost and scared with how to express my thoughts but still really needing to be heard. Now is our time to speak and to listen, and we will make sure that they hear us out."
