Acclaimed Australian R&B artist Milan Ring releases her anticipated debut album I’m Feeling Hopeful, out now on Aussie tastemaker label Astral People Recordings via [PIAS]. The album includes singles ‘Sydney Hue (feat. BLESSED)’, Pick Me Up (feat. Jean Deaux),, ‘BS (feat. Che Lingo)’ and ‘Hide With You’. I’m Feeling Hopeful explores the themes of love (for others and for the self), relationships, control, freedom, the critical mind, depression, desires and addiction from many different perspectives, all born “from my observations of the world around me and the world within,” says Milan.

An accomplished musician, producer and engineer, Milan is a figurehead in Australia’s R&B scene, having been in the studio with the likes of SZA, DRAM, Chance The Rapper's group The Social Experiment, BJ The Chicago Kid, The Avalanches, Ta-ku, B Wise, Sampa The Great and more. Earlier this year, Milan performed a mashup of SZA’s ‘Broken Clocks’ and ‘Love Galore’ as part of the iconic triple j’ ‘Like A Version’ series, and most recently teamed up with B Wise and Sampa The Great for the single ‘Ezinna’.
