New Video: Milla Shares Lush and Gorgeous “Courbes”

24 year-old, Martigny, Switzerland-based singer/songwriter and visual artist Milla Besson is an an emerging artist best known as the mononymic Milla. Beeson studied music at College of Saint-Maurice and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Geneva (HEAD), which she graduated in 2021. Since 2019, the young Swiss artist has also collaborated with Marc Aymon, Jérémie Kisling and Aliose.

Besson’s Frédéric Jalliard and Yann Arnaud-produced three-song EP is slated for a March 1, 2024 release. Recorded between Switzerland and Paris, the EP will feature “Courbes,” a gorgeous bit of folk/pop built around a lush arrangement of strummed acoustic guitar, atmospheric synths, gently padded drums, twinkling bursts of percussion paired with Milla’s gorgeous and expressive vocal, which manages to convey a maturity beyond her relative youth.

Directed by Loris Theurillat, the accompanying video for “Courbes” is set at a local boxing club and is shot in a dreamy and breathtakingly gorgeous black and white.
