Renée Millner is an Australian artist who is currently based in New Zealand. After releasing her debut EP In The World in 2018, she’s been working on new material. That’s now starting to spread. She already put out two singles this year so far, and here is the third one: So Much.

The opening lines immediately catch the attention. Not only because of a slight resemblance to Black’s Wonderful Life in the vocal melody, but especially because of Millner’s unique voice. It’s smokey and soulful, but with an edge. For no reason at al, this song made me think of k.d. lang.

Immediately catchy, So Much is a toe-tapping anthem about love and self-acceptance. It’s both a song of comfort and an introspective pep talk. Millner  explains: “Like most artists I know, I haven’t been immune to the opinions of others. I have often taken on someone else’s opinion rather than trusting my own.” With So Much, she recommends not to listen to the naysayers, but to recognise the love and support that surrounds us.
