Pip Millett
Hailing from Stockport, the introspective R&B singer/songwriter quietly released ‘Make Me Cry’ last year thinking nothing of it. A simplistic song at heart, but one with a deeper meaning the more you listened to each carefully crafted word sang by Pip. Within a short period of time, the song began to garner more and more streams and listens until Pip had to take notice. With 2.5 million streams to date, ‘Make Me Cry’ harkens back to an era of when songwriting was purely something that came up from the soul, and not for making radio plays. However, it’s the great songs that stand the test of time that manages to do both.

There’s an energy of innocence that came with Pip writing ‘Make Me Cry’, a song that’s really about her battle with anxiety and not a breakup song as so many think, and just putting it out into the world. However, this could be her secret weapon. Soon after, Pip was showcased on COLORS – a true marker for artists that they’re on the path they’re supposed to be on.

The 21-year-old songstress is as humble as can be – continuing to make music from her words first as she believes that that’s the most important part, and it is. Pip’s ability to welcome you into the dark wars she battles within, yet caressing you with her warm and bluesy vocals is something you either have or you don’t. Something akin to those who have come before her – Billie Holiday, Amy Winehouse, and Lauryn Hill.

Following on the release of Pip’s debut EP ‘Do Well’ – it’s clear that this introspective artist is doing exactly what she should be, without conforming to the world around her, and doing it very well.
