Mick J. Clark is back, and this time he did it his way. His new release, "I Want It More Than You," is bold proof of an artist in total control of his vision, from the craft and construction to the actual making. Clark doesn’t simply play his music, he embodies it. Each song brings much more soul in an age where genuine talent is harder to find.
Recorded at the legendary Martin Smith's Music Studio, Garage Studios. It carries the weight and warmth of in-person collaboration. The production has an unexpected depth thanks to the involvement of a famous musician from the 1970s band ELO, with whom Clark collaborates. The combination of Clark’s modern sensibilities and his collaborator’s advanced years results in an EP with both contemporary punch and classical muscle.
"I Want It More Than You" is one of the most instinctive, release, arranged around a structure and a voice forged by Clark’s passionate lifelong fandom. That passion seems to shine through in the EP’s dynamic rhythm and driving energy. Every melody serves a purpose, be it the soaring instruments or the precisely stacked vocals. It creates an immersive yet deeply personal listening experience.
What lingers is Clark’s commitment to being different. The way he writes, performs and produces was confident and unfashionable. By the time it ends, you’re not just aware that Mick J. Clark has arrived, he’s a rare and remarkable voice in today’s music scene worth listening to again and again.
