Recorded at Vancouver’s Afterlife Studios in 2023 alongside co-producer John Raham, “When You Unfold Your Love” is a finely crafted composition characterized by sweeping instrumentation that carries the listener on a sonic odyssey. Millard describes it as a reflection on the serendipity of discovering love and the journey of learning to trust. It marks a hopeful yet cautious start to a love story, celebrating the beauty of witnessing someone else’s joy. With support from a talented lineup of Vancouver musicians, Millard and Raham’s collaboration has yielded a work of spontaneous creativity that defies conventional genre boundaries.
Returning to music after a hiatus of seven years, formerly known as Miss Emily Brown, Millard’s return to songwriting follows extensive tours across North America and Europe. These experiences, shaped by personal challenges that prompted deep introspection and growth, led her to settle in Vancouver. Here, she found solace in pursuing a composition degree and nurturing her artistic community, providing fertile ground for her latest songs. This journey stands as a testament to Millard’s resilience and artistic evolution, inviting listeners into a contemplative exploration of love’s complexities within modern life’s tapestry.
