She has been compared to the likes of Amy Winehouse, Lauryn Hill, and Billie Holiday, with her effortless soulful vocals and artistry, she continues to elevate todays RnB sounds with her contemporary and chilled take on the genre. Millett additionally sold out her first UK tour across 8 different venues around the UK shortly after its announcement, with many UK fans missing out on seeing her perform live.

Presenting soulful vocals and heartfelt lyricism in Downright, along with captivating cinematography that features throughout her music video, there is no question as to why Pip Millett continues to exponentially gain momentum in the RnB realm.

The music video for Downright follows a young girl who endures a turbulent time in her life. The combination of the lyrics, sound and cinematography of Downright create an emotive, multi-sensory portrayal of Pip Millet’s individual relationship and understanding of mental health. Millett shared a brief statement via social media, directly speaking about the meaning of Downright to her own experiences, shining light on, and further making an effort to de-stigmatise conversations surrounding mental health. Thus making a powerful statement for mental health awareness month, which takes place throughout the entire month of May. The end of the music video shows Millett herself laying on a leather chaise lounge, visually comparative to being in a therapists office at a session, and as she shares a look of sorrow into the distance, an array of mental health charities appear over the screen, encouraging her fans or anyone struggling with mental health to reach out, talk to someone, and get help.
