Hear The Discussion And Songs All Songs Considered MILCK: 'Women Are Viral' Connie Lim, who writes and records as MILCK, makes music for anyone who feels out of place in the world. Hers are songs of empowerment and cathartic healing for the displaced and brokenhearted. It's a kind of thesis or mission statement MILCK first declared on her anthemic hit, "Quiet," the song that blew up after she performed it with a group of a cappella singers at last year's Women's March in Washington, D.C. In this moving conversation, she talks about her new EP, her history making moment at the 2017 Women's March in Washington, D.C., and how courage and truth can lead to widespread healing.

But we didn't see this coming - the brilliant guitarist arrived at NPR with one steel string acoustic guitar and without a warm-up or soundcheck. Annie Clark stood at Bob Boilen's desk, in front of a few hundred-plus NPR employees and close friends, and hit us hard with her un-amplified voice, unplugged guitar, her checkered wardrobe and most importantly, her songs.
