Thai rapper MILLI has released the second single ‘MENACE’, a crossover track with introspective lyrics expressing her inner emotions. The song contrasts with her previous hit ‘ONE PUNCH’. MILLI’s music video, directed by Rose-Ruangsroi Aksornsawang, showcases her growth and sexiness in this new era. The intense storyline reflects the themes of her upcoming album HEAVYWEIGHT, with beautiful cinematic visuals.
“After the intense ‘ONE PUNCH’, I’m shifting towards R&B vibes with this new song ‘MENACE’. The intensity of the two songs is very different. This song has a much lighter groove, but the lyrics are weighty because they represent my pain of choosing to walk away from a relationship that was hurting me,” said MILLI.
