LONE WOLF Single
October 1, 2019
"As a whole, the presentation [of Lone Wolf] represents the many nuanced phases of love – from infatuation to security, to uncertainty, to distance, and back again, all occurring within a seemingly never-ending cycle. Even with its release still on the horizon, I’m already looking forward to how the album [Intuition] will further express these thematic leanings." MusicExistence.com
INTUITION Single
January 10, 2020
"As the title track from her upcoming concept album, which is set for release next month, “Intuition” is a powerful, soaring, synth-driven track that follows Fay’s signature “symphonic electronica” style. The story is deeply rooted in the relatable eternal conflict of head vs. heart, exploring self-sabotage and the complex internal battle that arises when logic begins to override our emotions... “Intuition” reminds listeners that it’s well worth the risk to let go and give in to our desire in order to experience true love and intimacy with someone else."

Beneath that danceable, rhythmic frenzy lies a sobering lyrical commentary that attempts to discover what’s real... "
Grown-up Christmas List:
“...the track’s sentiment of wishes for peace, love and harmony wear as well on her vocals as a familiar fall sweater. And in a world that can be quite scary in today’s day and age, that’s the kind of comfort we should never take for granted. ”
