ABOUT
Sarah May is the artistic name of Vancouver-based pop singer Sarah May-Shogan.
Sarah entwines dark-based themes into her pop/alt music, inspired by the sounds of rain falling on water, waves at her head, and overcast days at sea.
In 2020 she debuted with her EP: It Feels Real, with her first single, “2 Minutes”, released January 23rd. A musical interpretation of the end of the world.
This song was featured on the popular radio show "Sound Resistance".
On February 21st, 2020 her next single "It Feels Real", the title track of the EP debuts. Inspired by late-night conversations with a late friend about alternate realities.
March brought her third release "Universal", followed in May by the fourth release "Before I Go", and in June her final release of “A Song of Somebody”, represented by independent record label Gateway Records on their all-compilation album “Pop Right Now”.
Evoking feelings of fear, trauma, violence, and sadness, this EP features the talents of producers such as Wildxyouths and Tundra Beats. It Feels Real is about perception, emotion, consequence, and reality as we know it. A Langley native, Sarah has been working on the EP for the better part of 3 years, having released her debut with Spinnup. With a peaked interest in alternate realities and human behaviour, Sarah is currently working on her first full-length album with indie label Last Night From Glasgow.
