Fresh Tracks: The Best New Royalty-Free Music Released in May

Enhance your videos with May’s fresh new Royalty-Free music.

It’s that time of the year again. Once it hits 5 pm, everyone rushes out of the office to soak in the incoming sun. May is a very transformative month as we say goodbye to the showery season of Spring, and start to welcome the incoming summer heat.

With that, you may need some new tracks for your summer projects, with May 2022 now in the history books, be sure to check out these great new additions to the PremiumBeat library that were released in May. Our curated playlist has a variety of styles to fit your upcoming creations.

With influences from the 80s and the classic synth sounds, to calm and lyrical strings, to Drill and Dubstep tracks, you’ll indeed find the perfect music for your next video project. With the new season of Stranger Things being all the rage and tracks from the 80s decade coming back in popularity, “Midnight Retro Express” and “The Space and Time“ are perfect tracks for a blast in the past. 

For a more summery and all-around positive vibe to kickstart May, “Souladelic” is a laid-back, groovy track, while “Easy Style” has an upbeat yet uplifting nature to get you into that summer mood. Latin Secrets has that holiday feel with the acoustic Latin-inspired guitar, and “It’s a Fresh Day” with that jazzy and upbeat atmosphere, perfect for your vacation vlogs.

The calmer, the better right? Soothing strings can instantly give that reflective and peaceful soundscape. “Meditation from Thais” radiates beauty, romance, and tranquillity. The lyrical violin melody accompanied by an angelic harp and the smooth yet rich chordal strings is excellent to complement a sunrise. 

For those looking for a track that builds to enhance those hopeful moments, “Where There Is Hope” elevates gradually, the string orchestral texture complemented by a soft piano line, and the subtle percussion in the background has an optimistic nature to it. 

For those looking for faster, upbeat, and punchier bass lines, “Blursed“, “Hard Push“, and “The Braile Drill” are ideal if you are looking for that heavy electronic sound. The dystopian-like synth lines and highly rhythmic hi-hat patterns never go amiss. Rock influences have also made this month’s round-up with “Toxic Stomp“. The distorted guitar motif and electronic synthesizers giving the nod to Muse, and “I’m International” for that playful yet rebellious rock sound. 

Dive into May’s fresh new tracks; there is something for everyone. From classical influence to Electronic Dance and the 80s, the versatility in this selection isn’t one to miss. Check the playlist out below for May’s fresh royalty-free music.
