“favorite team“ by Viv May

“favorite team” by Viv May is an emotional indie pop track that pulls you close and keeps you hooked from start to finish. Viv May is a rising star from Germany who has an aptitude for blending compelling sonic landscapes with introspective lyrics. This marriage of energetic production and thought-provoking storytelling makes for one of a kind arrangements that cement May as an artist to watch. At first glance, “favorite team” sounds like a kind of love song, and though this perspective is an intriguing narrative, May was inspired by something more. The conflict and tension in the world around her led to her desire to write this track in the hopes of bringing people together. 

Lyrics like “all I know is I want you on my team” and “everybody’s fighting, stand on different sides, we could make it worse, but I wanna make it right” show May’s unique and powerful perspective. In a society full of different opinions, it is easy to start vilifying people who think differently than you. Though it’s natural to disagree, this song makes you reflect on if your judgements of others are really always justified. 

The heavy rhythm pulses like a heartbeat as enveloping synth ambience swirls across the track. The vocal performance is a standout element of “favorite team,” shifting beautifully between lilting head voice and hypnotizing, deeper melodies. The dynamic journey through the song is satisfying and emotional, especially once you reach the outro built by gorgeous strings and entrancing humming that hits you right in the heart.
