Indira May 'Imaginary Problems'

Listening to Indira May’s, Imaginary Problems, feels like stepping into an art gallery where every piece tells a vivid story. Kicking things off is ‘don’t feed the sharks’, a track that blends psychedelic synths with a dash of pop experimentation. It’s the kind of song you’d imagine playing during a dreamlike montage in an indie film—a true attention-grabber that sets the tone for the EP.

Then comes ‘childsplay’, a track that’s as brave as it is beautiful. Tackling the realities of living with endometriosis, Indira strips back the layers to reveal a raw, unfiltered perspective. The haunting production feels almost like a heartbeat, steady but fragile, perfectly mirroring the themes of vulnerability and resilience.

If ‘childsplay’ breaks your heart, ‘STOP’ is here to mend it with its hypnotic grooves and dub-inspired horns. Indira’s whispery tones glide over the track like smoke curling in the air—mesmerizing and impossible to ignore. There’s a cinematic quality to this one that makes it feel larger than life.

‘dance tonight’ flips the script with a playful, jazzy vibe that’s impossible not to smile through. The bossa nova influences and cheeky lyrics create a track that’s as fun as a spontaneous dance party. Indira’s charisma shines brightest here, making it a standout moment in an already exceptional lineup.

By the time ‘you & charlie’ rolls around, you’re fully immersed in Indira’s world. This tender ballad about addiction is a masterclass in storytelling, wrapping up the EP with a mix of hope and melancholy. Imaginary Problems, isn’t just an album—it’s an invitation to experience life through Indira May’s eyes, and trust me, it’s a view worth taking in.
