MILA has released her debut single, “Softie,” which is part of an upcoming EP set to release next year. Let’s break down the genius of “Softie” and why you’ll probably end up relating to its lyrics. Initially, MILA portrays herself as “bulletproof”. In fact, she begins the song by describing herself as such, only to explain her current relationship has broken through this metaphorical armor. The Pre-Chorus of “Softie” only deepens the narrative of this relationship being transformative for the singer. It references magical concepts such as “voodoo” and describes this new love as “coming out of the blue.” The emotional tone of the song does an excellent job of balancing that intoxicating feeling of brand new love with lighthearted infatuation. As a result, anyone feeling giddy from a new crush or relationship will surely feel the emotional impact of this song.
Reminiscent of Britney Spears’ Circus-era, “Softie” possesses bold production and unique instrumentation. The single excels at blending cutting-edge pop elements with nostalgic ones. Its tempo is quite fast, and when paired with a pulsating beat; the song nears electronic dance territory. MILA brings silky smooth vocals which act as the centerpiece of the single; they are delivered with sensuality and confidence. The bridge feels climatic, as it effectively pulls away a lot of the production’s layers to allow for the emotional themes of “Softie” to shine through. Now that we've discussed the meaning and sounds of "Softie," let's get into how MILA became the artist she is now.
MILA is a talented Copenhagen-based artist and pop singer who strongly advocates for fellow young women breaking into the music industry.
