"Quiet" is a feminist anthem co-written, co-produced, and performed by Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter MILCK.
MILCK organized 26 singers from various choirs around the U.S. into the #ICANTKEEPQUIET chorus, to perform an a cappella version of her song flash mob style during the 2017 Women’s March in Washington, D.C.[1] One performance with the singers from the GW Sirens & Capital Blend went viral on the internet; MILCK was praised for having authored the “unofficial anthem” of the Women’s March.
[1][5] Within a week, MILCK and other performers reprised the Women's March version on the television show Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.
[6] In response to the attention given to "Quiet" as a result of the Women's March, MILCK publicized the song on Twitter using the hashtag #ICANTKEEPQUIET.
This was intended to allow people to share their stories and access the sheet music for the a cappella version for free, so that they could create their own #ICANTKEEPQUIET choirs.
