WE SAY

Our final Ones To Watch 2022 is Manchester’s R&B sensation, Pip Millett. Since bursting onto the scene in 2018 with her sublime debut Make Me Cry, the 24 year old has consistently wooed fans and critics alike with her soulful and compelling vocals. Her combination of classic soul, boom-bam and hip hop has seen her gain plaudits from i-D, Dummy, Crack, Mixmag, Highsnobiety, Love Magazine, BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra and 6 Music, among others. Along the way, she has amassed over 80m combined streams, along with editorial support from Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and Deezer. Plus, her COLORS Berlin performance of her debut has racked up over 4.5m views. On the live front, Pip is currently on a sold-out tour (4k+ tickets sold) of the UK that includes the Village Underground and Islington Assembly Hall. We are big fans of Pip, having supported her in Compass, and it’s not only us who are tipping her for big things in 2022 either - Vevo (DSCVR Artists to Watch 2022) and BBC 1Xtra (Hot For 2022) have too. Classic yet modern R&B, filled with emotive storytelling and sumptuous vocals that everyone can enjoy.
