She doesn’t have to be so explicit for her singing to make you think of Lauryn Hill, but because Georgia Willacy aka Pip Millett includes the line “everything is everything” several times in “Ride With Me”, the young Englishwoman sets the frame of reference herself. And fills it out perfectly, which you actually already know from Millett’s first singles and EPs, which have been around for a good four years. Her deep, rough voice to the smooth mix of soul and R’n’B with jungle and 2-step sprinkles connects the nineties with the present.

WHEN EVERYTHING IS BETTER I’LL LET YOU KNOW is the singer-guitarist-songwriter’s debut album and explores exhaustion and depression – and the journey back into life that separates people and habits.
In songs like “Walk Away” and “Happy No More”, reminiscent of the R’n’B divas En Vogue, Millett relentlessly reveals her struggles, celebrates newly won freedoms and “fucking” happiness in life in the street-funky-jazzy “My Way”. . In “Slow” she demonstrates how easy it is for her to package complicated material in a chart-compatible way: acoustic guitar plus clapping beats = irresistible dance hit. So great.
