RATING: 4/5
On the song “Plot Twist”, Millo welcomes the unexpected, producing a dark and playful pop single that looks at the contrast between appearance and hidden impulses. Within just three minutes she establishes a world in which sweetness and unpredictability coexist, questioning the assumptions people form on the basis of what they see on the surface. The concept of the track is immediately engaging and is based on the idea that someone who seems innocent can have a much bolder and more mysterious side which emerges.
The song has a distinct character due to the combination of dark electronic textures, energetic drive, and strong musical hooks. Instead of depending on a complex musical arrangement, it sticks to a concentrated structure which keeps focus on its main theme. A sense of movement is present throughout the piece, with each section highlighting the playful tension between the refined outer appearance and the darker personality lying beneath. The end result is a sound that sounds modern yet still retains a clear identity.
The song “Plot Twist” was written in collaboration with Liam Geddes, who is a two-time producer to have reached No. 1 on the Billboard chart, and also with Kjersti Sleveland and Amalie Olsen; it is the second single to be taken from Millo’s upcoming EP, “Method of Madness”. The song gives yet another insight into the artistic world she is creating, in which surprises, sharp turns and unorthodox ideas seem to play a central role. The catchy chorus acts as a strong highlight and gives the song an easy-to-access character without at the same time losing its mischievous tone.
‘Plot Twist’ also foreshadows a more active phase for Millo, including support acts, more singles, Christmas concerts and collaborations that involve both her own music and that of other artists. As interest grows surrounding ‘Method of Madness’, this single shows a fascinating trajectory for the future. The fact that Millo is willing to play with contrasts endows ‘Plot Twist’ with a personality which is hard to ignore, making listeners feel as though there could always be another surprise ahead.
