Hazy Blue by Emily Millard
Millard returns to her rich, languid songwriting in her fourth full-length album, Hazy Blue (Oct 2024). The long-awaited record honours the love ballad—the soft and the sad, the layered and complex. Hazy Blue is a moody folk-pop soundtrack that layers Millard’s soaring voice over lush orchestration and magnetic grooves. The result is an album of unabashed love songs—a teenage breakup, a whirlwind affair, an unworn engagement ring, love as grief, love as healing.
