Vid Pick: Rainy Milo - Bankrobber


In the spring of 2013 a friend of mine told me about an artist her former boss had just signed named Rainy Milo. Knowing how legit her recommendations have always been, I hit up Rainy’s Soundcloud page and downloaded all of the available songs (which are no longer available for free. Sorry folks!). She sounded great, and I wanted to hear more.

It took a little while for that to happen, but his past Tuesday the London-based soul singer was at DROM for her first ever performance in NYC. With vocals that have a hint of Duffy / Gin Wigmore, and a personal sense to style, and confidence, reminiscent of Aaliyah, the soon to be 19 year old singer wowed the entire crowd, including yours truly, who was standing front and center.

If you want to be wowed, too, check out Rainy Milo’s latest, which is a cover of The Clash’s “Bankrobber.” Rainy puts her own twist on the song, and it’s further evidence that she’s on her way to being one of the next great British musical imports.
