Pip Millett - Slow (Official Video)

Manchester singer-songwriter Pip Millett announces her highly anticipated debut album When Everything Is Better, I’ll Let You Know out 21 October. With this announcement comes a new single titled ‘Slow’ accompanied by a KC Locke directed video.

On the R&B-led ‘Slow’, Pip eloquently flirts with romance, describing exactly how to adorn her, with the black and white video perfectly encapsulating the thrills and subtleties of young love. Her sultry tones and womanhood take centre-stage and it’s this kind of sense of command we see run through the rest of her forthcoming album.

Poised as a generational titan, anointed in an ethereal amalgamation of R&B and jazz, Pip Millett is every bit the artist of those who came before her, demonstrating glimmers of her potential across the 17 tracks that sit on this debut. Throughout When Everything Is Better, I'll Let You Know, Pip acknowledges her personal growth, now coping healthily with anxiety and depression, as well as overcoming trauma. Harrowing, brooding, and reflexive, Pip excels with ease, radiating maturity, despite her age.

Like ‘Slow’, previously released tracks from the album, ‘Ride with Me’ and ‘Downright’ place Pip’s talent for combining the old with the new to produce a contemporary yet timeless sound at the forefront, her raw lyricism allowing listeners to witness all the paths that have led to the woman she is today. She tackles inequalities in socio-economic terrains, using her own experiences and relationships as the core influencers of the project. It’s this sense of lucidity that renders Millett as a renaissance vocalist, able to reflect on the current cultural landscape around her, having a point of view that translates both inside and outside of the studio.
