London UK, 17th January, 2019 — Scandinavian songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, singer and producer Emil Wilk, better known as M.I.L.K releases new single ‘Need A Witness​’ via Capitol Universal today.

Following the release of acclaimed singles, ‘Prisoner’ featuring Benny Sings (Rex Orange County), and ‘Summer Freckles’ in 2019; ‘Need A Witness’, is the new single taken from M.I.L.K's forthcoming debut album 'Always Summer Somewhere' set for release in March this year.

Continually reaching outward, self produced 'Need A Witness' is another technicolour gem with a crisp infectious summer feel. It's a bittersweet lament with a sparkling melody fusing folktronica-style acoustic guitar, soul, alt-pop and beats into dazzling laid back jam.

"It’s my favorite song I ever did. The vibe is inspired by good old badass country smashes and the lyrics are about the brighter sides of life and wanting someone to share it" Emil Wilk

2020 is set to be the year that 'The prodigy of Copenhagen’ (Rolling Stone) fully emerges into view. Described as ‘A concentrated shot of summer vibes' (NME) M.I.L.K has developed an impressive reputation and cult fanbase, amassed millions of streams and been championed by tastemakers and blogs around the world, becoming a regular on the Hype Machine charts and a mainstay on radio playlists across Europe.

Drawing on a broad range of influences and collaborating with some of the biggest French artists across genres such as Benjamin Biolay, The Avener, The Geek, Nemir and Møme, the M.I.L.K sound is as curious as the many collaborations suggest. Mining from the same rich seam as acts such as Jungle, Metronomy and Rhye, M.I.L.K’s eclectic and intelligent alt-pop sound effortlessly blend genres and styles into his own distinctive universe that fits together like a collage of summery memories.

Known for being a multi-talented artist who has a hand in all facets of his creative output, the past couple of years have seen M.I.L.K rise from a blog favourite to firm favourite. Having inked a deal with Universal Music in 2019, this spring will see M.I.L.K release his debut album; produced by himself and friends this album is set to cement M.I.L.K as one of the most promising multifaceted artists for the year ahead.
