East London indie-pop visionary Millie Turner has returned with her first single since 2021, ‘Venus’. The track acts as a celebration of the desirability and elusive beauty in femininity: “Beauty is not that simple. The song is about someone who is witnessing this horror as the rockets go to space, on the hunt for Venus. The song is an ode to true beauty which is more mysterious and can never be held down, sold, or even touched. And that drives the world crazy.” Musically, Turner’s artistic approach to songwriting is enigmatic and enchanting, satisfying fans of Kate Bush with her high, melodic voice, while fitting into the modern era with a balanced, indie electronica sonic palette. You’ll see more from Millie Turner in 2024. -Dan Peeke
