A Wells Blue School student is releasing her first single, a song written and recorded during the Covid-19 crisis and giving a snapshot of the sadness of lockdown from a teenager's perspective.

Ciara Millington explains that her song Isolated, on which she performs all the instruments and voices including a full string quartet, is an ode to separation from friends and to the uncertainty of the future of the planet itself.

"When our school was closed by coronavirus, one of the first things I did was pick up a guitar and start singing ideas in my head... about how crazy the situation was, and wondering if life would change forever," she said.

"I was thinking about the climate emergency and what life our children might have because of all of this, and from there the song came together really quickly."

Isolated is being released on all popular digital platforms including YouTube and Spotify under the stage name Ciara Mill.

It has already received a very positive thumbs up from BBC Radio presenter Justine Greene, who said: "I love it, I think it's Kate Bush meets Billie Eilish."

Despite this being her first release, Ciara has performed at many prestigious events in the past, including the Glastonbury Festival, as well as live on BBC Radio 2, with her parents' band, The Portraits.
