For those not in the know, which is admittedly most of us, Millie McGuire, a 20-year-old singer from Chapel Hill, N.C., is not famous, not yet, but is about to release a debut album that is going to change that status completely!

You see, behind the scenes, musicians are talking. Such as Mike Mills (R.E.M., Baseball Project), with whom she appeared in Big Star’s Third concerts, who says Millie is his “favorite new voice of the last five years."

Indeed, Millie's debut album, Yours, Millie McGuire, gradually evolved over the last several years, as Millie found herself as a writer.

Producer Chris Stamey recalls: “I first met Millie during someone else’s session, where she seemed genuinely interested in learning about the studio."

"She was still in high school then. With no expectations I suggested she drop by and try to sing a demo for me and in return I’d show her how to stand at a mic and how headphones worked."

"Ha! To my surprise, she was a natural: She glanced at the sheet music, nailed the tune (‘I Fall in Love’) in about 15 minutes — and that’s the vocal that’s on the record today.”

It was what he calls a “Sam Phillips surprise” — the dream of every producer, that one day a remarkable singer will simply walk in off the street unexpectedly.

1. 'I Am Yours'
2. 'There's A Place'
3. 'One More Moment'
4. 'Two' (feat. Dan Wilson)
5. 'Tomorrow's Too Soon'
6. 'I Fall In Love (So Easily)'
7. 'Here's How We Start Again'
8. 'Your Last Forever After'
9. 'Dream a Little Dream of Me'
10. 'Dear Friend'

This quite breathtakingly raw, honest, and lushly orchestrated album opens on the, at first ornate piano composition, and then free flowingly symphonious of 'I Am Yours,' and backs that up with the gentle guitar and horn work of 'There's A Place,' the melodic hipsway of 'One More Moment,' the tenderly rhythmic 'Two' (a duet with co-producer Dan Wilson), and then the forgivingly euphoric 'Tomorrow's Too Soon.'

Next up is the beautifully breezy 'I Fall in Love so Easily,' which is followed by the country twang of 'Here's How We Start Again,' the at-times ethereal love song 'Your Last Forever After,' a deliciously unpretentious, studio one-take cover of the 1931 Ozzie Nelson and his Orchestra hit 'Dream a Little Dream of Me,' and then closes on the tender ballad 'Dear Friend.'
