New Face in Dreamy Pop Millie Turner (UK) Reveals New Single
UK pop artist Millie Turner has burst onto the music scene with her new track “Swimming Pool”, released today through Kobalt/AWAL. As an artist, Millie Turner captivates with her amazing vocal ability. A storm in a teacup, her voice is able to conjure a raw primal energy and power, without leaving the hushed and breathy range that her music sits within.
“Swimming pool was based on a poem I wrote that tells a story of a group of kids that destroy this old historic building, setting it on fire, breaking down its traditional walls. They then escape from the chaos, retreating to the walls of the swimming pool. They stay there together, muffling out the sound of chaos outside. It’s about rebellion, liberation and then escapism, stepping away and escaping in this swimming pool," said Turner.
Millie Turner was born and bred in London in the UK, into a very creative family, who she describes as “a bit weird”. Influenced by the likes of Solange and Billie Eilish, her songs touch on the universal themes of hope, optimism, female empowerment and youthfulness, while telling stories in a unique, cinematic way to engage people from all walks of life.
“Swimming Pool” is available to stream and purchase everywhere now.
Turner’s music to date has been a feast for the eyes, as well as the ears, from the spectacular lo-fi visuals she co-directs for all of her music. Turner's unique human storytelling combined with all her artistry beyond music creation (painting & illustration) are showcased in her debut EP and first two singles.
Turner’s rise as a new artist to watch this year has been exceptional. She’s garnered support across tastemaker media, including NME who marked her as One To Watch and BBC Radio 1 as one of their “Best New Pop” artists.
