MILCK Calls For Racial Justice With Powerful Song ‘Somebody’s Beloved’ FT. Bipolar Sunshine

Acclaimed singer-songwriter-activist MILCK, who made her first debut with her global fight song ‘Quiet,’ continues to use music as a means to work towards social justice. Her new song, ‘Somebody’s Beloved‘ ft. British singer-songwriter, Bipolar Sunshine, is a powerful ballad with a serious message.

Written, produced, and recorded by MILCK amidst protests for Black Lives Matter, ‘Somebody’s Beloved‘ chronicles the life-shattering effects of systemic racism in America.

The song is also in partnership with writer/director, Tom Shadyac and his Tennessee-based non-profit, One Family Memphis; a mentors program for Black creators through nature, recreation, filmmaking, and afterschool programs. MILCK created a heart wrenching narrative video that further amplifies the song’s compelling message, honoring the lives lost to police brutality. The video’s production team includes One Family Memphis mentees, Chris Dean, Elisha Jewell, Joshua Cannon, and Malik Martin.

“When Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Nina Pop, and George Floyd’s murders sparked a global uprising, I faced the harsh reality that as an Asian American woman, I am both a beneficiary of white privilege, and victim of systemic racism. To understand how I could be a more active part of the country’s healing from racial injustices, I started to do more research. As listened to Tamika Palmer talk about the memory of her daughter, “Somebody’s Beloved” came to me. “Somebody’s Beloved” is a delicate yet powerful song that we hope can soften the vitriol prevalent in today’s polarized culture,” MILCK stated.

‘Somebody’s Beloved’ will be complimented by a “soul-cial action” and fundraising campaign along with charitable merchandise. MILCK has launched the Somebody’s Beloved Fund to directly benefit seven organizations. The primarily Southern-based organizations include BEAM: Black Emotional And Mental Health Collective, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, One Family Memphis, Dignity for Incarcerated Women, Freedom, Inc., SONG: Southerners on New Ground, and City Kicks-a partnership between City in the Community & Families Against Violence. Mostly founded by Black women-identified individuals, these organizations are based in principles of community and healing, and are building power around areas of racial justice, feminism, LGBTQ+ rights, criminal justice reform, and mental health.
