May Hwen beyond pop and rock, May 10th at La Caja de Musica
May Hwen is a half-Taiwanese, half-American artist from Nashville TN,
a town that is also known as Music City, USA. In the past year, she
has just finished recording her first two full length albums, set for
a dual album release in Taiwan, and kicking off at Spring Scream 2013.
"Everyone keeps telling me that people in Taiwan will love my music,
and it's been a life-long goal of mine to move out here for an
extended stay. I'm here to give my music to Taiwan and spend a
whole lot of time with my family. It's my favorite place in the
whole world." Hwen has had multiple on-camera national appearances,
including principal roles in a national Toyota commercial and a Diet
Coke commercial featuring Taylor Swift, and she also has a speaking
role as the Bluebird Cafe Emcee in the pilot episode of ABC's
"Nashville" series.

STRAIT PUSH ALBUM:
Strait Push is the aggressive half of the dual debut album release
from May Hwen, alongside the more downtempo side of the release, Under
Control. Named after the Taiwan Strait, Strait Push is explosive rock
'n roll, each song definitive with imaginative character-play and
stories of independence, struggle, redemption, and love.
UNDER CONTROL ALBUM:
Under Control is the sonically chill yet lyrically riveting project
from May Hwen's dual Taiwanese album release of 2013. The album is
dedicated to her late grandfather, American actor and U.S. Army Lt.
Colonel during a time of war. Hwen grapples with dark subject matter
in a fierce military fashion, yet without negative anger, and with
great pain yet without despair.
REVIEW:“
May Hwen has cracked the elusive DNA code of rock & roll. Not an easy
task in this day and age. Picking up where Boss Hog, the Yeah Yeah
Yeahs and the Dead Weather left off, her sexy songs and racy riffs
will have you on your knees, quivering for more. They say the other
secret of rock & roll is to always leave them wanting more, well, we
definitely want much more!”

REVIEW:
"Her lyrics pour onto the paper as emotionally charged stories, more
imaginative and fictional than auto-biographical. Her stage
performance is like fine wine, integrating tasteful sensuality with
soulful songs, aged with rock and a hint of jazz. The songs of May are
all original, with a clear structural design and coherently powerful
words that linger in the memory long after the show. The range of her
musical expression matches those of a woman, from dark to bright,
soft to hard, yet being held together by one definitive sound."
