Rising Neo-Soul singer-songwriter and Brit School graduate Millie Mountain returns with new single ‘Divine’, a collaboration with MOBO award-nominated artist Femi Temowo.
Millie Mountain / Femi Temowo – Divine
South Londoner Mountain has been writing songs since the age of 8 years old and has already been supported by radio stations including BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing and Jazz FM. Her live talent has also seen her support legends including Sister Sledge, UB40 and Soul II Soul.
Divine was recorded in March in Femi Temowo’s studio with an open mind and inspired by a demo recording saved to Millie’s phone. The result was a testament to Femi’s ability to understand the vision and the pair’s ability to throw themselves into the project.
Multi-instrumentalist and producer Femi Temowo has previously worked with artists including Amy Winehouse, The Roots and Soweto Kinch and proved to be an incredible foil and collaborator for Millie, sometimes frequencies just align!
The lyrics to Divine explore themes of self-love and recognise that to appreciate someone else’s love, you’ve got to have your own love first. Mountain wrote the track after a period of isolation when she was bed-bound and feeling lonely. She recalls thinking that the one thing that brought her comfort would be envisioning a time when she would feel the sun shining down on her, and she would be once again absorbed by rays of warmth and laughter. Mountain also drew on past encounters and remembered that Divine feeling of being both appreciated and seen by a partner.
“Divine truly delivers on its name; it’s an evocative piece of neo-soul that warms the heart and will inspire daydreams of better times.”
