Expanding on the story behind her new song, Millie Turner shares; “Starfish is the twin sister of Venus, who fell to earth and now lives in everything strange and chaotic. She sympathises with madness and exists like the dark side of the moon. She’s crazed by the smell of petrol on the dance floor, and wires herself to electric guitars eating nothing but chili oil. But she will always hold your hand if you’re walking in the dark”

As Millie plays with a more alternative, grungy sound on ‘Starfish’ we get a taste for her great versatility and innate sense of musicality, as a seasoned artist going into an exciting new chapter in her one of a kind musical universe. 

Alongside the single’s release, Millie has shared a music video for ‘Starfish’ …

Today’s release is the follow up track to her ethereal single ‘Venus’, which was her first single for a while, and kicked off her new chapter in music with a delicate yet impactful bang. ‘Venus’ was met with great critical acclaim and support, featuring in reputable Spotify Playlists New Music Friday UK, Indie Brandneu, New Pop UK, and Terra Incognita. 

More on Millie Turner…

Clapton-based singer-songwriter Millie Turner is making waves with her fluid, indie electronica. While dancefloor-ready, her songs are still thought-provoking. Her first track, ‘Underwater’, was written the day after Trump’s victory and longs for the possibility that we could set up a better world in the sea. "We are young, we are afraid, but we are free," she sings, with the kind of youthful idealism that turns older cynics green with envy.

At 16, she approached family friend and musician David Turley in the hope of getting some guitar lessons. One half of husband-and-wife pop duo Lovers Electric, Turley quickly clocked Millie’s vocal ability and the pair started writing and recording together in his studio at Clapton’s Round Chapel.
