When he first started playing piano at the age of 5, it was obvious that B.Mills had an ear for music. Fast forward to present day and his latest album, The Life And Times Of An Eternal Optimist, is a well crafted, infectious blend of contemporary R&B, soul and Hip Hop.

Based in Washington, DC, B.Mills worked with long time collaborators, friends and former classmates on this project. His childhood friend Vince “Invincible” Watson mixed all the tracks and co-produced two. Vincent has had quite the year landing production credits on recent Cardi B and Nicki Minaj projects. B.Mills wrote, arranged, performed and produced all 8 songs included on Eternal Optimist.

Packed with consistently smooth, soothing, soulful R&B jams, B.Mills‘ arranging and composing talents are on full display for the duration of this record. Delivering a sound and style of R&B that will resonate deeply with more mature listeners, B.Mills manages to infuse his engaging sonic package with enough refreshing modernity that younger listeners will stop to pay attention.

Whether listening to Get Up 2 Get Down, Life Is Beautiful, And We Rise or any other song on this project, I can guarantee a beautifully melodic, soulfully passionate, deeply emotive collection of R&B songs that stand in unity as a noteworthy album while also presenting us with 8 powerful songs that could easily stand on their own as impactful singles.
