On The Table Read, “the best entertainment magazine in the UK“, LGBTQ+ singer-songwriter, and piano virtuoso, Stefano May channels intimate experiences of pain with his new single and video for Crazy.
Crazy
The hauntingly beautiful ballad Crazy by Stefano May was created alongside producer Chico Bennett (Madonna, Lady Gaga, The Killers). Stefano reaches deep into our pscyche to create a deeply reflective, achingly raw demonstration of stirring vulnerability, and desolate take on the dark corners of enduring devotion. We watch Stefano grapple with isolationism and the ghosts of his past as he journeys across abandoned beaches, lonely rooftops, and the solitude of his bedroom in this contemplative music video.
A classically trained pianist, Stefano uses his rich background to create a vocally driven piece with a dim and distorted piano hook.
“In everyone’s life, there is a moment when words cannot convey the gravity of a troubling situation to another. The power and beauty of music builds connection and closes this gap,” explained Stefano May.
