Sonni Mills has a knack for seamlessly blending jazz-led vocals with alluring indie charm, and new single “Bloom” is a glorious and poetic display of it. Her first release since 2023, the track feels like an optimistic and confident step back into Yorkshire’s bustling music scene, which Sonni has spent years gigging and growing in.
It feels like perfect timing amid an uncharacteristically warm Spring, as Sonni’s soulful and radiant vocals explore themes of personal growth and renewal through the lyrics, “while I bloom, blossom and grow, you stay in all that you know”.

Set to an undeniably rich bass groove and nostalgic drum sound, the floaty melodies and bittersweet, moody undertones sit in perfect balance. A raw indie guitar tone contrasts with subtle, shimmery echoes of early 2000s R&B.
Play “Bloom” on a sunny afternoon in the garden, a lone evening bus ride, or whenever you need a moment of respite from everyday chaos.
