In 1996, the band started as a … Read Full Bio ↴Milk Inc. was a dance band from Belgium.
In 1996, the band started as a studio-project of 3 young, talented producers: Regi Penxten, Ivo Donckers & Filip Vandueren and released an EP on the underground label of Dance Opera.
In 1997, the song La Vache reaching #21 in UK (although completely unnoticed in their homeland Belgium), started it all. Because of the huge success of this song in France, the French label Hottracks of Scorpio Music released the song under the group name "La Vache", so people could remember it. The vocals were done by Jade 4 U (aka Nikkie Van Lierop). In October 1997, the single Free Your Mind followed.
In February 1998, and still under the name "La Vache" and with the new vocalist Ann Vervoort, the single Inside Of Me was released followed by the album Apocalypse Cow in March and the huge hit In My Eyes in December. "In My Eyes" climbed the Belgian charts quickly and reached #2 though it did not find any success in France and it was the last release in France for Milk Inc. At this point, the band name were changed to be "Milk Inc.".
In April 1999, in Belgium, the single Promise was released and reached #3 on the Belgian charts. The Belgian version of the album Apocalypse Cow came out in May, more than a year later than the French release.
In April 2000, the new single Walk On Water was released and reached #1 on the Belgian charts. In September, Ann Vervoort left Milk Inc. to start her own record label. She was replaced by Linda Mertens. In November, the album Land Of The Living was released. The first single was Livin' a Lie.
In 2001, Never Again was the next single to be released (reached #17 on the Belgian charts). The follow up was named Wide Awake (reached #2 on the Belgian charts).
In 2002, the next song was named Sleepwalker(reached #6 on the Belgian charts). The follow-up was entitled Breathe Without You and it was out on October (reached #7 on the Belgian charts).
In May 2003, their new single called Time was out (reached #10 on the Belgian charts). In August, they announced they would make a cover of a song from The Sun Always Shines On TV. The videoclip was shot in France on the 14th September (reached #5 on the Belgian charts). In October, their brand new album Closer was released. It contained 14 songs including I Don't Care; a duet between Linda and Silvy de Bie (from Sylver). Blown Away was the only instrumental song on this album. Regi appeared for the first time on a Milk Inc. song singing a ballad with Linda in the last track Maybe. In November, Milk Inc. performed in Poland.
In 2004, the new single from Milk Inc. was I Don't Care. The video was shot at Club Atmoz at Hasselt. The new single jumped to #3 in the Belgian charts at the end of March. The follow-up was entitled Whisper, and in October it peaked to #1 in Belgium. The same month, Milk Inc. released their first DVD in Australia. It contained 18 videos, as well as an acoustic set of 5 songs (I Don't Care, Oceans, Walk On Water, Don't Cry and Maybe, recorded especially for this occasion) and a few extras.
In May 2005, Milk Inc's new single was entitled Blind (reached #5 on the Belgian charts). The video was recorded on the 14th of April. It peaked up to #5 in Belgium. In September, Regi released a solo single entitled No Music. It went directly #16 in the Belgian charts. The following month, Go To Hell was released (reached #4 on the Belgian charts).
In May 2006, the new single Tainted Love (a cover version of the famous hit) was released (reached #7 on the Belgian charts). The fourth album Supersized was out in September. It was called after the mega-concert at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp. It included the hit songs Whisper, Blind, Go To Hell, Tainted Love, and 8 brand new songs + 1 bonus song. The next single was Run (reached #7 on the Belgian charts). The next Milk Inc. single was No Angel. The video clip was shot live during Milk Inc. Supersized concert.
In 2007, they earned a golden record for their album Supersized. Milk Inc left their former records company to enter ARS. Their new single Sunrise was out on the 22nd of June. Milk Inc.'s latest single Tonight is still charting very well. It peaked at #6 so far.
Milk Inc. effectively ceased to exist around the mid 2010s.

Milk Inc. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They think they comprehend
Wake up and smell the coffee
I am not that innocent
Everybody tells me
That I should not believe
You're more than smoke and mirrors
No, no, no
I'm no angel, I'm no angel
No, no, no
I'm no angel, anymore
This is now, this is me
I'm no angel, baby
This is now, this is me
I'm breaking free
Everyone says I'm falling
But they don't understand
I'm tired of choosing right from wrong
I'm not that innocent
Everybody tells me
I'm bound to be deceived
But I don't need protection
'Cause I am not that naive
The lyrics to Milk Inc.'s song No Angel describe a person who is tired of being misunderstood by others and falsely perceived as innocent. The singer is frustrated that everyone believes that they understand or know them, but in reality, they do not.
The singer insists that they are not as naive or innocent as people tend to think, and implores others to recognize this fact. The line "wake up and smell the coffee" suggests a sense of urgency or frustration on the singer's part, as they try to get people to see the truth.
The chorus of the song repeats the refrain "I'm no angel." This line serves to reinforce the singer's point that they are not as innocent or naive as people might think, and that they are tired of being misunderstood.
The second verse of the song continues this theme, with the singer expressing their frustration with others who try to tell them what to do or who they are. The final line of the song, "But I don't need protection / 'Cause I am not that naive," illustrates the singer's determination to assert themselves and break free from the constraints imposed upon them by others.
Overall, the lyrics to Milk Inc.'s No Angel are a defiant proclamation of individuality and a refusal to be pigeonholed or misunderstood by others.
