MILLIE TURNER NIGHT RUNNING

Ever since Millie Turner made her debut with ‘Underwater’ a year ago, this Hackney born-and-bred talent has continued to impress with her intelligent songwriting and penchant for addictive pop melodies that are as youthful and vibrant as this fresh-faced beauty. Keeping the bar high, Turner has released a singalong indie-pop banger called ‘Night Running’. According to the 18-year-old prodigy, “Night Running was inspired by a moment, when you come back from a night out, and you feel the kick of adrenaline. To me, night running is an anthem of youth, a movement of people who get energy from the night. In some way I want it to inspire people to appreciate that moment, to keep that sense of excitement wherever and whoever they are.” The song itself is a midnight-blue palette of left-field club beats and elegant melodies, which equally build up into carefree chorus of youthful discovery and running wild through the shadows. It’s a sonic vision brought viscerally to life by director Mario Clement, as we follow the young London artist and her friends through the city streets and underground pathways during that time “when the sun cascades into the night.” - Hannah Thacker
