You & I Highlights the Grace and Growth of Rising Indie Star Milly Thimaras

At the beginning of last month, rising indie artist Milly Thimaras delivered her debut album called Bullets. An eight-track offering that the Southampton-based musician says is about "strength, overcoming adversities, and the struggles we all go through," it's a record that I implore you to spend some time with. For today, however, I'd like to introduce you to You & I, the album's utterly stunning closing song. Let's dive in!

Working alongside her partner, Laurence Henderson, Milly sets about concocting a deeply laidback and dreamy piece of music. Gentle guitar, light drums, and the artist's soft, expressive vocals create a sound that's as soothing as it is immersive. It's delicate…and it's pure…and it's simply a joy to sink into. 

"You & I is meant to be a song of salvation," mentions Milly. "It's about making peace with what has happened and finding a safe place."

A tune that showcases Milly Thimaras' growing confidence as both a songwriter and genuine storyteller, You & I has quickly wormed its way straight into my heart. I just love how atmospheric and mellow everything is. To me, it's the sound of a musician who is fully comfortable in her own skin, and that's where real music shines. A stellar track. A stellar record. And an unbelievably talented artist!
