The latest from singer-songwriter Joy Mumford is the feel-good anthem ‘Spilt Milk’. The instrumentation of the track draws you in with twinkling keys, overdriven guitar and rolling drums that all bring a track that balances high-energy with the purest of relaxation. Joy’s vocals sing out over the top of this instrumentation, with gorgeous harmonies creating a rich and dynamic texture. It’s effortlessly summery with a slight bittersweet twinge that uplifts you and leaves you wanting more.
On the new release, Joy says “I wrote and produced Spilt Milk during a challenging time in my life when I was learning to make peace with the fact that it’s okay to let go of things, people and places that drain me, rather than trying to fix or control everything. I was trying to liberate myself from a difficult situation, whilst simultaneously learning to sit and accept the uncomfortable emotions I was feeling by doing so. I have a tendency to rush out of feeling difficult emotions, and so making music has always been my way of connecting back to myself, and processing the great and not-so-great things happening around me. No matter how difficult it can be, I like to believe that when we let go of certain things, it’s to make room for something better and brighter ahead – and I really wanted Spilt Milk to reflect that!”
