Mayfair Lady Shares New Single ‘Reality Check’
Italian-American singer and songwriter Mayfair Lady has just shared her brand new single Reality Check, a personal song about a dark time in her life.
I am really enjoying her distinctive, powerful vocals and how they instantly command the listener's attention to her relatable storytelling. Reality Check is a song about pursuing a toxic lifestyle and realising that you need to get back to reality as you don't want to get stuck in that life full of sorrow and loneliness.
This message is wrapped around a captivating production that blends classical, indie and pop elements. I am really enjoying the lush strings, cello and drums that give the song a cinematic atmosphere that got me excited to want to share it with you guys.
Speaking about the song, Mayfair Lady said,
Reality Check is about a dark time in my life, when I struggled with an eating disorder, partied too much and filled the void of my loneliness by doing the wrong things in the company of the wrong people. Deep down I knew this lifestyle only fed more into my sorrow, but I kept on going. I felt like I was living in a sad movie and I needed to come back to reality. I needed a ‘‘Reality Check’’. I recorded this song with my friend and co-producer Alejandro, using live instruments including a CS-80, strings, cello and drums to give it a grand, cinematic feel. The song transitions from a dark place at the beginning, to an even darker middle section, a brighter bridge and final chorus and an almost soothing outro section. In its essence, it mirrors a journey from a state of hardship and depression into the road of recovery that leads to finding happiness within yourself. If the song successfully invokes these feelings in a listener, then I have achieved my goal.
