Milly Mercury
AcousticAbout
Driving with an unbreakable passion for music and the arts, California’s Milly Mercury awakens the modern scene with a consistently free and fearless approach to creativity.
Organically blending decidedly fragile, expressive vocals, with equally natural instrumentals – from the purity of acoustic ukulele, to full-rock arrangements that uplift and energize – Milly takes on the songs the mainstream has missed, and writes from the heart with a clear degree of identity and freedom.
From the ache of heartbreak to the optimism and beauty of a newborn, Milly’s catalogue embraces the ups and downs of life in a genuine and musically eclectic manner.
Fast-forward to 2021, and the colourful and multi-layered album of covers ‘Sunshine Flower Power” redirected the mood, reimagining a series of cult classics under a fresh artistic light; not least of all the infamous and cinematic ‘White Rabbit’.
2021 also saw the release of the single ‘Beautiful Baby Girl’, a song inspired and recorded following the birth of Milly’s niece Penelope. The track was dedicated to – ‘Every baby girl, every little girl in the world, every teenage girl, who thinks she’s imperfect in the eyes of a cruel Instagram model-obsessed world.’
Currently an artist, author, singer, songwriter, musician and poet, Milly Mercury lives for expression and connection that’s free from industry confines and expectation. Her music and her art continue to underline this inherent sense of liberty and love for the process.
