Amid the sun-soaked beaches and vibrant nightlife of Miami emerges a distinctive voice. 19MIL, the self-proclaimed artisan of dark pop and hypnotism, is causing ripples with her unique sound. While most artists strive for years to find their signature, 19MIL seems to have struck gold early on with her goth R&B and Pop sound, reminiscent of icons like Lil Peep and Lil Uzi Vert.
Growing up in the serene surroundings of Treasure Island, Florida, 19MIL was a misfit amidst a crowd that relished in beach bar cover bands. Yet, instead of conforming, she transformed her singular perspective into music that resonates with a generation. A nod to her roots, she acknowledges an influential figure from her past for introducing her to the world of music, a realm where she has come to find solace, purpose, and a voice.
Her newest release, “Deep End,” is an encapsulation of this journey. It’s a sonic painting drenched in emotions and memories. The track beautifully meanders from the feelings of despair and pain to the fierce, resilient energy that is emblematic of her spirit. Lyrics like “I’M NOT JUST A LITTLE GIRL…I STILL SEE MY WORTH UNDER DIRT THAT YOU’VE THROWN ON MY NAME” stand as a defiant proclamation of her self-worth.
Visually, the song translates into a riveting music video – a blend of melancholic rain and empowering flames, symbolizing her rebirth from trials and tribulations. While 19MIL credits a talented team based in South Florida for the video’s production, it’s her unyielding vision that stands out. As her own director, she meticulously crafts every scene, translating the song’s essence onto the screen.
Music for 19MIL is a bridge – one that connects her to countless souls, reassuring them of their worth, and the shared human experience. It’s a testament to her prowess and resilience that she’s crafting songs which are not just melodies but emotions, experiences, and echoes of shared sentiments.
With “Deep End,” 19MIL isn’t just releasing a song; she’s sharing a chapter from the book of her life, inviting listeners to delve into her world. And if this track is any indication of what’s to come, the music world is on the precipice of witnessing the rise of a powerhouse artist who’s destined to leave an indelible mark.
