Review
The newly released single, “Black Widow” is a captivating blues song with alt-country and roots vibes. The intense yet rhythmic song tells a story of betrayal, heartbreak, and a woman taking matters into her own hands.
The standout element of the song lies in May’s soulful, yet gritty vocal delivery. Her voice carries both vulnerability and strength, and she immediately creates an emotional connection that resonates with the listener, especially one who has been in the place that this track describes.
From the opening lyrics, “Babe you’re a liar, you’re a cheat, You’re a drunk ass scoundrel that’s stuck in heat,” it becomes clear that the protagonist has had enough. As we reach the chorus, with its repeated lines about nobody seeing her coming and her night vision of a black widow, there’s a layer of mystery and vengeance added to the narrative.
Overall, “Black Widow” is a highly relatable song that will appeal to fans of various genres as it seems to have elements of many styles intertwined into one truly immersive experience for the listener.
