Louise Le May is a singer and songwriter from Hackney in London. 5 of her extraordinary songs have been recorded as a mini-album produced by revered performer and arranger Louis Philippe, and officially released on Folkwit Records.

"Here was a singer who seemed to inhabit a world that was entirely hers: non-referential, uncodified, capable of unearthly softness, but also - what clinched it for me - of turning this quasi-whispered, but always pitch true delivery into something resembling a scream. In 'Coal-Marble-Stone' in particular, when she sings 'but that day may never come around', I heard the same expression of longing - physical longing, that is - that I hear in Bessie Banks's 'Go Now', expressed with astonishing bravery, but also with the elegance of a true musician."
