It has been a pleasure to be introduced to the work of Benjamin Joseph Edwards aka Miller Blue. Aged just 19, his music is new to me, but what a special talent he is! He’s up there with the any of the male artists that grace the charts of today and surely it won’t be long until his work receives the musical acclaim it deserves. His music, which is all self-produced, is a mix of alternative pop, R&B, soulful grooves and hip hop. The first single from his debut EP “Persistence” is Cold Hands, a brooding, soulful, slow burner filled with passion seeping throughout with aching vocals over a blissful, chilled out beat. Hand claps, subdued guitar and haunting backing vocals add to the overall mesmerising feel of this piece. Stripped back, cool and infectious, this song gets in your head and won’t go away, it’ll leave you singing it for days. The other tracks on the EP are also outstanding and show how much talent this guy has with all the facets of his eclectic sound coming together to make an amazing debut EP. Miller Blue – definitely one to watch.
