Milly Thimaras’s track ‘Let The Children Play’ uses a sweet and dreamy sound to depict a hurting world and the need for change. Learn more about it in the following paragraphs!
‘Let The Children Play’ has a dreamy but uplifting indie pop sound with bright guitars in multiple layers and a slappy bass. This is complemented by a well-placed mix and a clarity that shines through the production. The dreamy sound benefits from brighter synths that cut in and out. Additionally, the vocals jump between a chest voice and a head voice for a dynamic performance. Something that stands out is a chaotic breakdown instrumentally with a spoken word bit that explores the need to let children flourish in a world of war and chaos. Speaking of, the lyrics split off from the warmth of the music. It depicts a world full of violence and unchange and the need to let children have the freedom to play peacefully.
Milly Thimaras is an indie pop artist out of Southampton, England. She works well with melody that has energy and pulls in inspiration from artists such as Haim and Fleetwood Mac. Additionally, she works with her guitarist Laurence Henderson to help with composition. ‘Let The Children Play’ shows Thimaras’s ability to take an important and heartbreaking narrative from the real world and put it to music. It was written after she had seen news coverage of a children’s hospital being bombed in Gaza, and she couldn’t get the sights out of her head. The things that are happening in the world now are heartbreaking. Therefore, Thimaras is using her music in association with the “war child” organization to share just how devastating war truly is. What she captures in this track is poignant, and it shows an ability to capture real-world issues. Let’s see where this emotion and talent to share real stories will take her discography next!
