In the middle of November, Danupha "Milli" Khanatheerakul, a Thai rapping sensation, released her 10-track album Babb Bum Bum (Extravagant) on YouTube. Most people recognise Milli as the singer who caused mango sticky rice sales to surge after she ate the dessert onstage at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in the US. Babb Bum Bum proves that this 20-year-old rapper is not famous by chance. Milli is a versatile performer who works hard to achieve her goal.
The first track, Welcome (featuring Minus), is a summary of the album and her life. In the video of Welcome, Milli performs as four members -- Minzy (main vocalist), Minnie (sub-vocalist), Minnuay (main dancer) and Milli (rapper) -- of the girl group Minus. The lyrics of Welcome explain that Milli considers herself imperfect, but she embraces her flaws and always tries to improve herself. This nearly four-minute song is a terrific showcase of Milli's versatility, including rapping, singing and dancing.
