Millie Gibson – “Ripple”

Originally from Winchester, VA and now based in New York City, this singer and songwriter got introduced to the arts by her mother from a young age. She grew up singing in school choirs and studied Music Performance at McNally Smith College in St.Paul, MN. Since moving to New York City, she’s played venues like Rockwood Music Hall, as well as opening for Ego Ella May in London, UK. Inspired by Ella Fitzgerald, Alicia Keys and Sade, she released her debut single “Break It” in 2017.

Reflecting on the effects on her soul of a period of depression in her life, her new single shows that the hope for a positive change can guide you through the dark. Capturing her honest lyrics in a soothing soundscape, it blends neo-soul, R&B and jazz into a warm and intimate melody. Starting with a gentle bass and mellow rhythm, she soon adds a smooth piano and sleek guitar solo. And with her silky vocal skills and jazz-infused scatting, this introspective tune is an intricate stunner.
