A Conversation With MILCK: 'Women Are Viral'


Listen Later

Connie Lim, who writes and records as MILCK (a combination of her last name backwards and her first two initials) makes music for anyone who feels out of place in the world. They're songs of empowerment and cathartic healing for the displaced and brokenhearted. It's a kind of thesis or mission statement MILCK first declared on her anthemic hit "Quiet," the song that blew up after she performed it with a group of a cappella singers at last year's Women's March in Washington, D.C.

In the year since releasing "Quiet," MILCK has signed with Atlantic Records and just released her debut EP, This Is Not The End.
