Iyah May

Iyah May's latest track, Karmageddon, slices through the clamour of modern life, exposing the stark realities of political and social division, media manipulation, corporate greed and public apathy. While Karmageddon has sparked significant conversation and controversy, Iyah has stood her ground. She refused to compromise her vision when asked to change a key lyric line, leading to the end of her contract with her manager. She walked away from her record label and now, fully independent, Iyah continues to carve her own path as an artist. Her fearless approach is shaped by her unique perspective as a qualified medical doctor, having worked on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic.  The song doesn't shy away from addressing the pandemic narrative, corruption within political, pharmaceutical, and health institutions (including figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci and the World Health Organization), the Israel-Palestine conflict, women’s violence, and the social chaos that has swept through the world in the past few years.

"Fuelled by my own despair over a divided world and deceitful corporations, I channelled my frustration into Karmageddon. My career as a doctor has been greatly impacted, and I was affected on a deep and personal level.

For a long time, I felt isolated with my opinions. This song reflects the helplessness many of us feel in these dark times."

At its core, Karmageddon is a call to confront societal divides and unite to rebuild and heal. This track is the first off an exciting upcoming EP, with Iyah May continuing to push boundaries and speak truth in a world that needs it more than ever.
