Imelda May – Mayhem
by Sheila Broderick
Imelda May just released a new album and Mayhem is the name. This is her best yet! The new queen of the rockabilly scene shows us she has some serious talent and the potential to go all the way to the top.
Mayhem showcases her songwriting abilities and shows how diverse her musical genre and influences intertwine flawlessly. “I’m Going Psycho” and “Mayhem” are tunes you can cut a rug to. “All For You” gives you that piano bar blues club feel. Imelda even throws in a cover of “Tainted Love” that gives it a new breath of life in a jazzy kind of upbeat way. I guarantee this is an album you don’t want to pass up.
Born in Dublin, Imelda began performing in clubs at the age of 16. By 2006 she had formed her own band and was starting to rise in the music world. “Johnny Got a Boom Boom” was the song that put her on the charts in 2009, which was released on her debut album Love Tattoo. Imelda May has been a force to be reckoned with ever since.
