With a sassy attitude, Mila Northrup took to the Hotel Ziggy stage for a WFNM showcase night. "How are you feeling? Good. You guys better not be silent when I ask questions." Her bio mentions that she's been writing songs since eight and loves being retro, "she grew up a little obsessed with eras she wasn't born into -- rotary phones, CD players, music that felt worn-in already -- and that never really went away." Someone who enjoys that moment in time where analog turned into digital.

One notices immediately that Northrup enjoys a plethora of music genres. Her most recently released song is "DEVANEIO." Devaneio is a Portuguese word meaning daydream. The song is a bossa nova driven song about crushing on a Brazilian boy who catches her eye and has her already daydreaming about the future: we'd have a loft in NYC. "Why do you come to music shows if you don't want to dance?" she asked the crowd at the end of her set. Her song "Figure It Out" is like a Basia tune remixed for the dance floor. That guy better figure out that they're not suppose to head towards the friendzone.

What I noticed: Her arm and hand motions emphasized the romantic-relationship connotations in her lyrics.
The song spotlight goes to "Space." She mentioned that it is one of her older songs. Why make it the song spotlight? She introduced the song by saying, "My mom really likes this song." The alternative pop song is mom approved. Space is not really wanted in the early stages of this song's love affair.

But I sure do love the chase
