In 2024 a new solo project IN RHYTHM created by Milli Janatková is being born. The project is again performed and recorded by the author herself with all the instruments, the same as she did with her albums Transformation (2013), Deep (2020) and Quiet, Please! (2022). New single and music video is out now, and Milli´s been performing in Czechia, Europe and Asia.

It´s been an honour we could experience this divine muse during her performance at the exhibition “Czech and Greek Heroines” and at absolutely crowded Baccara Bar Lefkada with excited feedback from the audience.

I want to hear more, it brought the interest. I like the combination of groove and polyphonic voices in such a good rhythm.

The quality is there and also the market. It’s tribal with natural vibes. The song is very motivational to pump you up.

Even if it’s not easy to find the right audience, there is the market for this music and I really like it. It has potencial and really good quality.
