Pip Millett Delights Us With 'Tell Jimmy I’m Fine'

Pip Millett by Race Imboden

Manchester’s Pip Millett carries on the conversation from her Tell Jimmy EP with part two Tell Jimmy I’m Fine. Consisting of seven tracks, Tell Jimmy I’m Fine like part one is a charismatic project overflowing with emotional upheaval as Pip documents life after Tell Jimmy.

‘These Hoes’ sees Pip crooning in soulful sensuous tones that are reminiscent of a blues singer as she poses hypothetical questions with a sassy air against the sampled Outro of Tell Jimmy.

Moving into ‘So Good’ you hear the looming steady bassline notes that overcrowd the drums, and provide a warm soundscape for Pip’s delicately light and heartfelt vocals as we catch her reflecting on the trubulent relationship she escaped. Her sadness also gives way to embracing her solitude.

First featured on the music platform COLORS, ‘Better’, produced by  Dre Skull sees Pip fold back into old habits, actively choosing to make the wrong decision and settle for a unsatisfying situation once confronted with her loneliness.

It’s deeply feeling and Introspective as we witness Pip drown in her self-anger and doubt. She sings Late nights/Riding it/I'm so fucking done fighting/Know better/No, I don't/No, I know better.

The insightful ‘Too many losers’ is a critique on the modern dating experience – as Pip vents her displeasure with the state of things.

Opting to have fun, the Mancunian is clear in her intentions as she informs us of her desires on the experimental and thrilling ‘Enough for you’. Alliyah inspired when she sings an airy chorus, the verses however demonstrate her lyrism.

 She sings “We too intense like a knife to a throat/ baby if you want me I’m yours, put your name of my wrist/we could have four, five,six kids.

‘Have your babies’ joined featuring Mariah the Scientist appears near the end of the project. It’s a dreamy promise of the future as imagines of motherhood and mothering come to the forefront of the mind. It’s a beautiful rendition as the live instrumentation composed of strings, a grand piano and a guitar rift expressive the affection felt.

The singer-songwriter ends the ep on The Y2K R&B era inspired ‘Husband’. The uptempo track is full of R&B and funk sensibilities, her indeciveness expressed in a lovely tender tone, Pip admits “I find myself being stupid you” as Pip flirts with the chance of stepping back into love.

Pip is scheduled to perform at Somerset House Summer Series on 11 July 2024.
