Rising neo soul star Millie Mountain returns with “Inside Out”, a track that reflects on the unravelling of a relationship.
Millie Mountain – Inside Out
Following the critical success of her 2024 debut album Fugitive of the Mind, which Jazz FM’s Tony Minvielle praised as a “competitor for album of the year” and featuring the BBC Radio 6-championed single Pink & Blue, Millie Mountain returns with her latest single, Inside Out. The London-based artist continues her fearless exploration of love, loss, and self-discovery, drawing on her signature blend of Neo-Soul, Jazz/Funk, and R&B.
Inside Out is a raw, poetic track written by Millie and composed by longtime collaborator Stuart Whitehead. Recorded live at Hope Mill Studios in Manchester with her four-piece jazz band Still Waters, the single reflects on the unravelling of a relationship, highlighting emotional imperfections and the blindness love can sometimes bring. Millie explains, “It’s about loving and leaving, about choosing yourself and your health.”
At just 25, Millie Mountain is fast becoming a standout voice in UK Soul and Jazz. Known for her versatility and fearless experimentation, she has received support from BBC Introducing’s Jess Iszatt and featured on platforms like Reprezent, Hoxton Radio, and Voices Radio. Live, she’s no stranger to major stages, performing at Moovin Jazz Fest, supporting Sy Smith at Jazz Café, and touring with The Mouse Outfit alongside icons like Sister Sledge and UB40.
The press imagery for Inside Out is a visual metaphor for emotional contradiction featuring torn raincoats, clown-like makeup, and her whimsical alter ego, Jeanie.’ It’s all part of Millie’s ongoing mission to push artistic boundaries and embrace vulnerability as strength.
“Inside Out blends late-night cool with inner city grit and marks Millie Mountain as one to watch.”
Her style defies easy classification. Millie’s music draws inspiration from artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Erykah Badu, Stevie Wonder, and even Courtney Love, but ultimately fuses influences into something uniquely her own. Often compared vocally to Amy Winehouse, Millie notes, “I love blending all of the artists who have inspired me to date and subconsciously creating my own fusion and sound.”
Inside Out marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter, with more singles and live shows on the way. Millie’s goal is simple: to keep creating, sharing, and connecting. “All I want to do is travel the world doing what I love, creating music and sharing it with people to enjoy.”
As her fanbase continues to grow, so too does her impact “Inside Out” is yet another reminder that Millie Mountain is not just one to watch, but one to listen to, feel with, and believe in.
