Stefano May – Crazy
“Love the reverse sound from the beginning that serve as an intro to that lush piano themes a his beautiful vocal. Not sure what I like the most, piano themes or his voice, just a perfect blend. Drum parts are perfect, adding more layers towards the end, perfectly produced. ”

Acclaimed singer-songwriter and piano virtuoso Stefano May channels intimate experiences of pain, plunging into life’s hardest moments with his upcoming single and video for “Crazy”.
Working alongside producer Chico Bennett (Madonna, Lady Gaga, The Killers), a hauntingly beautiful ballad called “Crazy” was born – a deeply reflective, desolate take on the dark corners of enduring devotion. Stefano’s achingly raw demonstration of stirring vulnerability reaches deep into our psyche for a lingering expression of cathartic lament.
Stefano uses his rich background as a classically trained pianist to pair this vocally driven piece with a dim and distorted piano hook. 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. Upon writing this track, May notes: “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.” May has received acclaim from the likes of CNN, Ladygunn, Earmilk, GLAAD, Celebmix and Great Day Live to name a few.
