Sandra May Is Hitting the Big Time: We Told You So!

Believe it or not, the editor of this site was only the 2nd person in the English speaking world to ever write about Germany's Helene Fischer -- second only to the New Yorker magazine. And he wrote glowingly about the stunningly gorgeous and talented Rhinelander who is now taking the schlager world by storm.

Styrian Sandra May

Well it seems our intuitive predictive abilities are now batting 1.000 (for you European readers that is an American baseball term that means perfect performance) because on October 4th we predicted that the soulful Styrian folk/pop singer, Sandra May, was destined for stardom.

Now news comes from Austria that the dark-eyed, raven haired Austrian beauty has not only received widespread airplay in her native Austria but has hit #13 on the top 100 chart in Germany -- a considerably larger market -- with her soulful pop offering, "I wurd so gern" (I would so wish.)

The disturbing part of the development is that her handlers are now packaging her and polishing her up -- new hipper wardrobe and hairstyle -- and she is in danger of losing the bucolic Styrian charm that made her so very attractive as a folk singer (although no one can say that with her new style she doesn't look terrific.)

Sandra May's resonant, deeper octave voice, is hypnotic in quality and her lyrical style and delivery are reminiscent of American folk/rock sensations Carly Simon and Natalie Merchant.

We called it back in October -- this lovely and talented girl is clearly on the way up. Maybe we'll even see her playing to packed houses in the USA or UK someday -- if we're lucky.

Here is Sandra May singing I Wurd So Gern (I would so much):
