Milk & Bone’s A Little Lucky is a strong and bold EP that leans into nostalgia without feeling stuck in it. Entirely produced by Chromeo, the four-track project blends warm, analog synths with the duo’s airy vocals, creating a sound that feels both dreamy and intentional. The EP centers on tension and contrast, exploring isolation, desire, and the moments where emotional control begins to slip. With Stranger Things once again dominating the cultural conversation, it’s easy to imagine any of these tracks slipping seamlessly into the show’s soundtrack, reinforcing just how timely and cinematic the project feels.
“Hoops” opens the project with bright, danceable energy and strong retro 80s influence, channeling a sense of longing beneath its upbeat surface. “Bloodshot” turns up the intensity, pairing a warmer synth groove with sensual lyrics that capture the rush of attraction. Lyrics like “Send your love to my hips, they've been craving your touch. Your pulse on mine gives me such a rush” feature Laurence Lafond-Beaulne and Camille Poliquin’s seamless vocal harmonies that lift the track forward. It reflects a kind of love that feels so sudden and overwhelming it borders on unreal, yet remains grounded in emotional truth.
“Halfmoon” slows things down into a daydream, reflective and soft, balancing a steady pulse with thoughtful vocals that discuss personal growth and self discovery. Lyrics like “I am the eagle, a gem inside a stone. Under a half lit moon I took a leap of faith” highlight the intention of self discovery within the song. The EP closes on “Blossom Tree,” a quieter, more vulnerable moment that trades momentum for intimacy. Its layered harmonies and nostalgic tone feel like a quiet release after the tension built across the earlier tracks. A Little Lucky succeeds by knowing exactly what it wants to be: a focused, cohesive collaboration that values love, self-love, intention, and connection.
