It is May's years of exposure and experience in so many different musical genres that gives Calcutta Boy its varied styles and unique sound. Just as a diamond, each song on this album is truly multi-faceted. With a classic rock feel, "There's a Little White Powder," has an addictive melodic hook running over an anti-addiction theme dealing with the social disgrace of cocaine addiction. Well-crafted lyrics encompass a Caribbean/Calypso-style beat in "Mirror, Mirror," one of the more popular selections on the album. Even pop-styled ballads appear such as "Have Your Arms Been Missing Me," which has a hypnotic chorus and moody background vocal effects. "African Queen" contains a well developed storyline over surreal soundscapes and clever rhymes, taking the listener on a journey.
