MILA returns with ‘Queen of the Hive’

When he’s not playing bass for Rat Boy, Essex’s MILA is making infectious pop bops and latest track ‘Queen of the Hive’ is his shiniest new offering.

“I wrote Queen of the Hive after watching 5 seasons of a show on Netflix in just 1 or 2 weeks,” he explains. “Looking back I think I might have got a bit too obsessed with it all, but it was a good waste of some of the lockdown, and I suppose I gained a song out of it. The song is about overcoming boundaries which can get in the way of the end product or goal someone is trying to achieve; and ways to overcome them.

“I make all of the MILA music at home; first working on the beat which is how this track started off and then adding the lyrics. I got stuck with this track for a while as it wasn’t really materialising the way it was in my head so Gethin Pearson stepped in and added some additional production and understood what I was going for (we communicated over WhatsApp so he had to deal with me humming 808 patterns into the voice notes of our chat).”
