B.Miles has graced our pages for almost a decade, and yet this hugely talented artist still continues to surprise us with her ever-evolving sound.
While we don’t usually feature festive releases, ‘Xmas Sox’ is an exception. This is a beautifully produced piece of music that thoughtfully blends dreamy pop and indie and sets the scene B.Miles’s gorgeous vocals to shine through.
“You know how certain objects can trigger a flood of memories? For me, it’s Christmas socks—specifically, my ex’s Christmas socks. While going through a breakup, I found something of an unlikely metaphor in those socks: they’re an item everyone has but are often hidden, just like the emotions I kept buried about our relationship. There’s a certain romance in continuing to wear something that once held such comfort and charm, especially around the holidays, even as the meaning has shifted to something more sombre.”
B.Miles has built a name for herself as one of New York’s indie-pop darlings, with a natural flair for pushing sonic boundaries and crafting songs that are easy for any listener to form connections with. You can explore more of her work on Spotify here.
