17-year-old singer Millie Turner writes songs that get under the skin

Watch the U.K. artist’s video for “Eyes on You.”

October 16, 2017

U.K. singer Millie Turner is barely out of school, and is already writing songs that are totally transfixing. Her debut single, the pulsating ballad "Underwater", came with uplifting lyricism and handclaps, but "Eyes on You" moves into slightly more sinister territory. With an electronic folk edge reminiscent of Maggie Rogers, she sings of the kind of love that's all-consuming and a downright bad idea. "For me, it speaks of being able to be with someone in a way that isn’t comfortable or pretty," Turner wrote in an email, "but human and honest, and in some way more real.” Fittingly, the video puts all eyes on Turner, with one camera and spotlight fixating on her mesmerising performance. Watch it exclusively above.
