Millie Blooms latest track ‘DNA’ is a certifiable bop in every which way. The exuberance in her performance, right from the delightful vocal harmonies and melodies on the chorus to the radiant confident in the rap verse all make for a certain resplendence that you can’t turn away from. And it’s for good measure to. DNA Is an empowering piece, decrying the capitalist institution’s harmful standards that cause disconcerting body image issues on today’s young girls. The song itself becomes a commentary, a cry, and an observation all at once. It’s not just a statement of fact, but also a plea and an urge to people to stray away from these superficial and impossible ideas while staying true to yourself.
But what’s core to it all is a melody that makes the entire message pass over that much easier. You’ll walk away from it with a renewed sense of belief in your own abilities while also recognising the stupidity and poison that these institutions throw onto you.
