Premiered on Capital Xtra in
April, and already on heavy radio rotation across the UK and Africa, ‘Better
Days’ is the brand new single from creative visionary and Afrobeats queen
May7ven. With the commercial firepower to capture the airwaves and dance floors
this summer, this new record from May7ven sits perfectly with the new wave of
Trap music infused with Pop and Afrobeats.
Easily one of the most
introspective offerings of May7ven’s career so far, ‘Better Days’ sees the
British Nigerian singer, songwriter and performing artist singing about the
difficulties of life, as she divulges on a series of bad situations from debt
and cheating spouses to suicidal thoughts, in this sneaky, irresistible,
catchy, Afro-pop summer anthem, produced by long-time collaborator Antoine
Stone.
Now with a fresh perspective
and a new lease of life, as she sings on ‘Better Days’, she is “trying to make
her situation better. I’m just trying to come up from the gutter”. May7ven goes
into the second quarter of the year, full steam ahead, with a headline show
scheduled for May 28, a special CNN feature to be released, and her
long-awaited debut album firmly in the works for a late 2016 release.
Speaking about the inspiration
for ‘Better Days’, May7ven said “Better Days is relatable as we all have bad
days and situations that almost tip us over the edge, so I put it in the music
to inspire and encourage others. This record is youthful but it cuts across
people of all ages, with an empowering message for everyone, as tough times
don’t last forever and things will turn around”.
