不过真正让Corrinne May在美国发光发亮的，则是参加了由超级制作人Babyface及戴维佛斯特发起的网络歌曲创作比赛的活动，并得到了优胜的头衔。而也因为这个契机，让Corrinne May认识了民谣之母Carole King，并促成了Corrinne May得以与Carole King共同创作的机会，才有了「If You Didn’t Love Me」这首歌曲的产生。
Corrinne May的才华不仅在美国受到肯定，在太平洋彼岸的亚洲，也以创作人的身分出现在不少的音乐专辑中。其中包括了蔡健雅演唱的「默契」、张韶涵演唱过的「Journey」，都是出自Corrinne之手。另外她的歌声也曾出现在由舒琪、莫文蔚以及赵薇所共同主演的电影「末路天使」中演唱电影主题曲「Close To You」。
Fly Away是Corrinne May在美国发行的第一张创作专辑，Corrinne以其细腻的笔触以及歌声，唱出了身处在每个不同时空下旅人的故事。不论是难舍亲情却含笑为远走他乡亲人祝福的Fly Away；尽管身处不同时空然有月光联系便不觉寂寞的Same Side of The Moon；为害怕受伤害而不再轻易付出感情的现代人所写的Fall to Fly；为另一半所写的Mr. Beasley；以及献给所有怅然若失人们的Journey。Fly Away专辑中的每首歌，都值得我们细细的聆听及体会。

如果你有看過莫文蔚、舒淇主演的《末路天使》，或者你也曾經四出找尋片末裡出現的一首翻唱版本的《Close to you》，即Carpenters那首，翻唱的是Corrinne May符美芸，她是一位新加坡出生，建立音樂事業在美國，並得到Carole King提拔的歌手。

Notes About "Save in a crazy world"
You keep me flying, you keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me, embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms I find the strength
To believe in me again
--"Safe in a Crazy World"
With accomplished musicianship and exquisite soul, Corrinne May evokes words and music that are both generous and genuine, stories she reveals in a voice of striking purity and undeniable magic.
Her self-titled debut presented a calling card to audiences in the U.S., Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore. Now, the suite of songs that comprises Safe in a Crazy World extends Corrinne's worldwide appeal as it speaks of her connection to those around her. She explains, "With the first record, I was pouring out the emotions I felt at being in a new city, having to leave my family and friends in search of my calling. I was looking for answers and the album was born out of that introspection. The new album is happier. There's more of a feeling of being settled and wanting to reach out and be involved with the world."
'Cause I don't know where your journey goes
Or how long it will take to unfold
But as long as we keep this moment shining in the dark
I know you're watching over every beat of my heart
-- "Every Beat of My Heart"
Corrinne's journey began in Singapore, the former British colony at the cosmopolitan crossroads of east and west where she studied classical music and earned her degree in English literature before moving to Boston for an education in songwriting and film composition at Berklee College of Music. Relocating to Los Angeles, she came to the attention of legendary Grammy-winning songwriters, Carole King and Carole Bayer Sager, with whom she collaborated. Live shows at intimate listening rooms including The Hotel Cafe, The Mint and Genghis Cohen introduced her to appreciative audiences as well.
With her debut came accolades: Harpers Bazaar, FHM, Music Connection and Performing Songwriter magazine who deemed the release, "a touching, enchanting record." MTV Asia featured her video for "Fly Away" and television shows on Lifetime and ABC selected her songs to underscore their dramas as did the Columbia/TriStar feature, So Close. Named Best Contemporary Album by the musical alliance, Just Plain Folks, the album spent over a year on the top sellers list at CD Baby.
All of this was a prelude to Safe in a Crazy World, wherein the promise of Corrinne's artistry blooms in full flower. Her trademark ballads are adorned by a cinematic string section and epic orchestrations and her lighter side shines on "Little Superhero Girl," where she wants to "turn the bullies that terrorize/Into pink poodles that bark but don't bite," and the upbeat pop of "If I Kissed You," when she asks a potential lover, "Would you run naked up the street with a tattoo of my name on your behind?" All of the songs are penned solo, with the exception of the poignant "Everything in Its Time," a collaboration with Carole Bayer Sager.
The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in it's time
-- "Everything in its Time"
With Safe in a Crazy World, Corrinne May creates a sonic sanctuary of hope and solace "When people connect with my music and tell me that I've given a voice to their feelings, it deeply moves me. Music is my balm for whenever life gets a little crazy and I love being able to share that."
In her art, as in her life, love radiates a luminous warmth.With lyrical themes of compassion and understanding, Corrinne May's artistry is a welcome invitation to be Safe in a Crazy World.
