AMY MILNER HELP

With assured songwriting quality beyond young years, Amy Milner has announced herself with a stunning debut effort-proper. 'Help' is the first outing from the 21 year-old from Suffolk and immediately grabs hold with a natural power understandable from influences such as Cat Power and Sharon Van Etten. Immersing herself in music, she recently decided to curtail education in favour of the piano she started playing at the age of 5. The result is this immaculate, emotionally-charged track that aligns the singer with London Grammar's Hannah Reid; gentle piano is married with intelligent and subtly atmospheric production, ensuring this release matches the calibre we've come to expect from Aesop Records. Milner needs no 'Help'; she has everything neatly in line for a glittering future. -G.O'B
