2. Milan Ring, “2063”

Label: MXMAY • Release: 4.6.18

The first thing that comes to mind when listening to single “2063”is a universal three-letter word.  Rising, multi-heritage Australian musician Milan Ring nails the lush, sexy nature of 90s R&B sound, while also capturing the present and looking towards the future.  As impressive as Ring’s voice is (cool, calm, and collected, yet nuanced), the assortment of sounds and textures are equally alluring.  Keeping things indie, Ring released “2063” on her own label, MXMAY.  Ring keeps some sick company, recording with the likes of SZA, LL Cool J, and BJ the Chicago Kid.  Furthermore, she’s an Ableton Live School mentor who holds workshops in Public Primary Schools.  Without question, Milan Ring knows her stuff.
