The countdown has begun.
On June 16, Kitty May releases her brand-new single, “Midsummer Night Dream,” a song that blends classic rockabilly energy with the atmosphere of a Swedish midsummer night. Fast-paced, mysterious, romantic, and a little dangerous, the track captures the feeling of a night that feels endless—until the sun comes up.
Built around a driving 180 BPM rockabilly shuffle, “Midsummer Night Dream” combines slap upright bass, twangy electric guitar, brushed drums, and vintage-inspired production with a vocal performance that deliberately moves in the opposite direction. While the music races forward, Kitty May sings softly and intimately, almost as if she is whispering a secret directly into the listener’s ear.
The result is a song that feels both energetic and hypnotic.
A Story of One Night
At its core, “Midsummer Night Dream” tells the story of a fleeting connection during one magical midsummer night. Flowers in the hair, laughter around the party, old cars parked nearby, warm air, distant music, and the feeling that anything can happen before sunrise.
The song follows a woman who is confident, free, and completely in control of her own story. She moves through the night knowing exactly who she is and what she wants. The people around her are drawn to her, but she belongs to no one. She is a dream, a memory, a moment that cannot be held onto.
As the night unfolds, attraction grows, boundaries disappear, and emotions intensify. Yet from the very beginning there is an understanding that the magic will not last forever. Dawn is always approaching.
When morning finally arrives, all that remains is the memory of a night that burned brightly before fading away.
The World of Kitty May
For those already familiar with Kitty May, “Midsummer Night Dream” continues to explore the themes that have become central to her musical identity.
Kitty May exists somewhere between freedom and temptation, nostalgia and rebellion. Her songs often take place in the hours after sunset—among neon lights, classic cars, smoky air, restless hearts, and people searching for something unforgettable.
She is not a traditional romantic heroine. She is unpredictable, independent, and impossible to fully catch. Her stories are filled with movement, desire, confidence, and the excitement of living in the moment.
“Midsummer Night Dream” may be one of the clearest expressions of that character so far.
Inspired by Swedish Midsummer
While the song embraces classic American rockabilly influences, its setting is unmistakably Swedish.
Midsummer is one of Sweden’s most celebrated traditions. Long days, bright nights, dancing, music, gatherings with friends, and the feeling that summer has finally arrived all contribute to an atmosphere unlike any other time of year.
“Midsummer Night Dream” takes that atmosphere and adds a touch of mystery. It focuses less on the traditions themselves and more on the emotions that can emerge during a warm summer night when people feel free to become a slightly different version of themselves.
Coming June 16
“Midsummer Night Dream” will be available on major streaming platforms beginning June 16. A lyric release will also accompany the launch, allowing listeners to experience every line of the story as it unfolds.
Whether you’re a fan of classic rockabilly, vintage-inspired music, cinematic storytelling, or simply songs that capture the magic of summer nights, this is a release you won’t want to miss.
Mark your calendar for June 16 and prepare to step into the world of Kitty May.
One night. One memory. One dream.
Physical Release: CD and Vinyl Edition
In addition to the digital release, “Midsummer Night Dream” will also be available as a physical edition on both CD and vinyl. These formats are created for listeners who want to experience the music in a more tangible and timeless way. The vinyl edition emphasizes the warm, analog character of the rockabilly-inspired production, letting the slap bass, twangy guitars, and atmospheric details breathe in a more organic sound space. The CD edition offers a clean, collectible version of the single, perfect for fans who want to physically own a piece of the Kitty May universe. Both editions are designed as collector items that reflect the aesthetic and mood of the song itself.
