Millie Gibson – Ripple [Single]

Millie Gibson’s “Ripple” feels like standing on the edge of something vast; suspended between silence and revelation. It’s a quiet number that dances and blooms in its own time. Zach Berns and Luke McCrosson orchestrate an intimate space, layering the earthy shuffle of congas and shakers with the delicate interplay of upright bass and piano. There’s a weightlessness to her voice, a softness that makes each word feel almost as if you’re overhearing someone singing to themselves in private.
There’s a quiet weight to the lyrics of “Ripple,” somewhere between reflection and reckoning. Gibson sings of solitude and seeking—“I’ve been on a wave of silence / Ohh I’ll be a while / I’ll be on a whim of kindness / Can you see the browed?”—words that carry the weight of introspection but still flicker with hope. The song’s chorus isn’t shouted, it’s a quiet statement of survival. “Let it be the sign of your demons,” she repeats, not so that we can see our demons as warnings, but as reminders that peace often arrives through confrontation, not evasion.
The percussion breathes and the electric guitar drips with reverb, pulling you deeper into this reflective space. It’s a song that doesn’t rush, that asks you to sit in stillness and feel the weight of time passing. While her voice, light and whispery, still holds a warmth that makes even the hardest truths feel more gentle. “Ripple” moves with a quiet sophistication, making it a track that invites more than just a casual listen.
