Bright and groovy, 21-year-old Genevieve Miles has shared her newest alt-pop record ‘Storm Before’. Hailing from Birmingham, the young talent is back with her first offering of the year, and it doesn’t disappoint. Blending ambient yet uplifting instrumentals, the track shows a more pensive layer to the artist’s existing discography.
Drawing her inspiration from BADBADNOTGOOD and Crumb, Genevieve Miles is unafraid to break the mould and test the genre barriers, and this fearless approach is audibly recognisable in her newest single. Produced by Carlos de los Santos, ‘Storm Before’ melodically emits an overall jazzy and experimental vibe, whilst lyrically touching on the healing process after heartbreak.
“This rain could not compare to the storm that came before last summer”
Carrying a feeling of positivity and hope throughout, ‘Storm Before’ holds onto the knowledge that our past experiences equip us for future hardships. Genevieve’s mature outlook is beautifully portrayed in her music, as she delivers heartfelt nuggets of wisdom that really stick with you.
Hailed as a “sunny indie queen” by BBC Introducing, Miles is already making a big impression amongst the UK indie-pop scene with her ear-catching sound and bubbly persona. Alongside the gems she released back in 2020, the singer-songwriter took part in many online festivals such as JACKfest (Union Jack Radio), The Sunflower Lounge takeover and Independent Music News Lockdown Festival. She has also received extensive press support from the likes of CLOUT, comeherefloyd and Words For Music.
Making her mark and steadily building her fanbase, Genevieve Miles really does surprise with each release, making us all the more intrigued to hear what she unveils next.
